Stuart Williams Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of two of his 14 starts and currently rated 62. Returned to winning form at Chelmsford (1m) on Saturday night when scoring by four and three lengths from Bold Suitor.

Trainer says

Bonaventure has been in good form all year and is rarely out of the money. He usually runs a good race and he won on Saturday night at Chelmsford. Kaiya Fraser rode him and he gave him a lovely ride and won easily on him. He is in the Autumn Sales and whether he runs again I have to decide with the owner but he is in great form.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 19 starts and currently rated 86. Having his first start for the stable when eighth, beaten seven lengths, to First Folio at Yarmouth (6f) in September off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

Buccabay has just joined us from Eve Johnson Houghton’s and had his first run for us the other day. We are still finding out about him and he is another sprinter owned by RaceShare. We hope he is going to do well for us and it is still to be debated whether he has an All-Weather campaign - he has won on the All-Weather. He is a nice horse to have in the yard.

Form profile

Winner of five of his 17 starts and currently rated 85 (All-Weather) and 62 on the turf. Finished eighth, beaten six and a quarter lengths, to Grace Angel on his latest start at Yarmouth (5f) in September off a mark of 68.

Trainer says

He’s much better on the All-Weather than he is on the turf and he has had a few spins on the turf this Summer. We are looking forward to another All-Weather campaign and we will run him in the high-class Sprint Handicaps through the Winter.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 18 starts and currently rated 80. Finished fifth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Archduke Ferninand at Newmarket (6f) in August off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

Eminency has been a little bit disappointing as he’s a high-class horse. He has run some alright races through the year but he hasn’t managed to get his head in front in some fairly competitive races. We have given him a bit of a break and the idea for him it to also run on the All-Weather during the Winter and, hopefully, find the key to him. There is plenty of ability there but just haven’t managed to find the key to him yet.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 40 starts and currently rated 81. Came closest to another victory when runner-up, beaten half a length, to Tees Spirit in a handicap at Sandown (5f) in July off a mark of 87. Finished ninth, beaten five and a half lengths, to Venture Capital in a handicap at Doncaster (5f) in September off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

Existent has been a bit frustrating - he is a very talented horse when he puts it in but that is quite infrequent these days. He is on a mark now where he is very well handicapped if he puts it all together. He is going to have a break now - he has been running on the turf through the Summer - and we will give him an All-Weather campaign too.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 24 starts and currently rated 75. Gained his last success when beating Tiger Bay a length and a half at Windsor (6f) in July off a mark of 74.

Trainer says

Expert Agent won earlier in the year at Windsor and he hasn’t really had things go his way since. He has an entry at Kempton on Wednesday and he will probably keep ticking over on the All-Weather through the Winter. He is on a mark now where he can be competitive if things go his way.

Form profile

Winner of six of his 45 starts and currently rated 61 (All-Weather) and 48 turf. Gained last success at Chelmsford (1m) in August when scoring by three quarters of a length from Meng Tian off a mark of 59.

Trainer says

He is a grand old horse who rarely runs a bad race on the All-Weather. He just hasn’t fired on the turf but he is very competitive in the races he runs in on the All-Weather. His owners love him dearly and he will be campaigned on the All-Weather through the Winter usually ridden by an apprentice. The Owners like to give the youngsters a start and they have given a few of the apprentices their first winner on some of their horses. They like to encourage the kids to get going.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 16 starts and currently rated 70. Gained his last success at Lingfield (1m) in August off a mark of 62.

Trainer says

He has been in good form through the Summer. He has won and finished second twice. We gave him a little break and he ran at Newmarket the other days but he ran a bit fresh. He will probably run on the All-Weather through the Winter but we would like to run him on the turf again. He is a very free horse and usually makes the running but is a good sound horse and I am sure he will win more races.

Form profile

Winner of one of his five starts and currently rated 74. Made a winning handicap debut at Chelmsford (7f) in August when beating Mereside Madness half a length off a mark of 71.

Trainer says

He has been in good form and is a big horse and a really nice character. He won well on his first start in a handicap and then was just a little bit outpaced the other day. He did too much earlier on and then was just outpaced but I am sure that there is more to come from him for sure.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 18 starts and currently rated 81. Came closest to victory this season when fourth, beaten two and a half lengths, to Metaverse at Newmarket (7f) in July off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

Lir Speciale was bought by RaceShare. He ran a good race first time out and he has just been a bit unfortunate with the weather and stuff. He likes fast ground and that’s gone so the plan would be to have an All-Weather campaign with him. He has won on the All-Weather before and we will find some races shortly and I think he will get back in the winners’ enclosure soon. He is well handicapped on his old form.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 11 starts and currently rated 69. Finished fifth, beaten three and a half lengths, to Kiss And Run at Goodwood (5f) in August off a mark of 71.

Trainer says

He was bought fairly cheaply for us at one of the Sales in the Summer and he did very well for us. We have given him a break and the plan is for him to have an All-Weather campaign through the Winter. We are looking forward to running him later in the year as he is only a young horse and there will be more races to be won with him.

Form profile

Winner of four of her nine starts and currently rated 99. Completed a hattrick on the All-Weather earlier in the year when beating Tazara two and a half lengths in a Listed fillies’ contest in Mays and has run well in better company since. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck, to Roses For Debra in a Grade 2 on the All-Weather at Presque Isle Downs (6½f) in September.

Trainer says

She is in America at the moment; we sent her out to run in a Group 2 and she ran a fantastic race and was just caught on the line by the odds-on favourite. They broke the track record and she stayed out there and my plan is to run in the Franklin at Keeneland a Group 2 Fillies’ & Mares Only on October 13. If she was lucky enough to win there it is possible we might have a crack at the Breeders’ Cup. It is very exciting for a stable our size to have a filly who can fly the flag abroad.

Form profile

Winner of 10 of his 19 starts and currently rated 109. Has rediscovered his form with a vengeance since beating Al Shabab Storm a length in a Listed race at Chester (6f) in August and followed up with a half-length defeat of Russet Gold in a similar contest at Newmarket later that (6f) that month. Completed the hat trick with a neck success from Purosanque in another listed event at York (6f) in September.

Trainer says

Quinault has been in great form. He was ill in the Spring shortly after we gave him the flu jab and whether that had anything to do with it, I don’t know but he was ill early on in year. I had a programme mapped out for him but we ended up running him in races I didn’t really want to run in to try and get him to Ascot. That didn’t go very well either and we have had to recalibrate and he has been in great form recently. He has won his last three starts in Listed races and I am very happy with him. I am undecided as to whether to run him in the Bengough Stakes at Ascot on Saturday and the ground might rule him out - I don’t think he wants it really soft. It is possible we will wait for the Challenge Stakes at Newmarket in a couple of weeks’ time. He is in great form and we look forward to running him again.

Form profile

Winner of nine of his 69 starts and currently rated 80 (All-Weather) and 69 turf. Gained his last success at Brighton (7f) in September when beating Dion Baker a neck off 65.

Trainer says

He has been in good form and won on the turf recently which is a rare win for him. He is a decent horse on the All-Weather when things go his way and he will have an All-Weather campaign through the Winter.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 14 starts and currently rated 59 (All-Weather) and 54 on the turf. Gained his last success at Chelmsford (6f) in April when beating Cogsworth a neck off a mark of 62.

Trainer says

He has been a decent horse for us and won three for us already and paid his way. He will have an All-Weather campaign and is not the same horse on turf. I am sure there are plenty of races to be won with him when things fall right for him.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 18 starts and currently rated 52. Off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f) in July when scoring by a neck from Cut To The Chase off a mark of 49.

Trainer says

He has been in good form and is rarely out of the money. He ran another good race at Chelmsford the other day and he runs at Wolverhampton tonight. He has given his owner a lot of pleasure and we will run him on the All-Weather through the Winter.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 12 starts and currently rated 74. Finished runner-up, beaten a neck to Brunel Nation at Newmarket (7f) in September off a mark of 73.

Trainer says

Where’s Freddy is in good form and he was second at Newmarket ten days ago. He won at Newmarket earlier in the season and he is not an All-Weather horse. He can hopefully find another race on the turf where it is not too wet. He doesn’t like really wet ground but he has been in great form.

Form profile

Winner of one of his seven starts and currently rated 87. Off the mark when short-heading Invincible Crown in a maiden at Windsor (5f) in July. Finished last of six, beaten 12 lengths to The Waco Kid in a Group 3 contest at Newmarket (7f) on Saturday.

Trainer says

Balzarini won earlier in the year and has an entry in the Horses-In-Training Sales as well. We ran him in a Group race in Germany and he ran very well and wasn’t beaten very far and we slung him in at the deep-end the other day in the Somerville Stakes and he just got a bit outpaced in the final furlong and a half. He wouldn’t have appreciated the ground and wants better. There are plenty of other races to be won with him and whether it is for us or somebody else we will see after the Sales.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 74. Off the mark when beating Distant Rumble a length and a half in a maiden at Bath (5½ f) in August.

Trainer says

He has an entry in the Sales race at Newmarket on Saturday and I’m in the dark as to whether he will want the ground as soft as it could be. He won nicely at Bath and then was favourite for a race at Sandown but he went too fast to the start and then bombed out. That was totally out of character for him and we will put measures in place to make sure he doesn’t do it again. I would hope he would run well in the Sales race on Saturday.

Form profile

Placed in three of his four starts. Finished third, beaten three lengths, to Nahash in a maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) in September latest start.

Trainer says

Jiff’s Army has been in good form and was a very cheaply bought horse. He finished second in a £30,000 race at Epsom and was caught wide the other day at Wolverhampton. There are definitely races to be won with him. He will have an All-Weather campaign as well but it is possible we could run him again on the grass again before the end of the turf season.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts and currently rated 76. Made a winning debut at Epsom (7f) in July and finished fifth, beaten two lengths, to Serving With Style when last seen out in a novice fillies’ contest at Goodwood (1m) in August.

Trainer says

She ran well and won at Epsom earlier in the year. She ran a nice race at Goodwood last time but Hollie (Doyle) said she was just a bit weak. We think she will be a decent filly over a mile and a quarter and possibly a mile and a half next year.
