SNAPPING OUT THE STARLETS

Dave Youngman has spring in his step as a new generation steps up at HQ

THIS is a very exciting time here at Newmarket with the mares foaling then being covered again by the top stallions.

Pictured here is my favourite mare, HOT SNAP, who was in training with Henry Cecil at Warren Place. She is pictured with her colt foal by Guineas winner CHALDEAN, she is due visit Kingman this spring. She has a lovely bay filly by KINGMAN trained in Ireland by Dermot Weld. This filly is named SWELTER and has won her first two races for the shrewd trainer.

Hope you all like the photo of Hot Snap with her new foal plus the photo of me with her.

JOCKEY Hayley Turner has retired from riding as she want to concentrate on having her baby in October - everyone will miss her as she has been an excellent rider for trainers David Simcock and Michael Bell.
