Welcome to Newstart Racing!

As the 2025 turf racing season comes to a close, although we seem to have had a quieter season it's nice to know that we have horses within our team that are versatile and able to show their potential on local turf tracks such as Beverley and Doncaster for the future, with more great days out to share.

Hey Crackers and Very Classy are a great pair to work with, going out together or on their own, whichever suits best at the time. A very enjoyable pair to look out for

Happy Horses – Happy days

Welcome to Newstart Racing!

HEY CRACKERS!

When we made the purchase of Hey Crackers at the Doncaster sales as a 3yr old, we knew he likely wouldn’t be ready for a busy, heavy workload throughout this season, as he didn’t run as a 2yr old and many of the Ribchester (sire) horses come to their best at 4 and 5 yr old. Hey Crackers has gained valuable experience while he has been with us so far, and now he has been given all the treatments he needs, we should see a stronger finish and continued strength throughout his next couple of runs, lining us up for a fine Christmas to enjoy! He now has plenty more in his favour after his recent wind (throat) operation, and he has received further strengthening treatment, similar to our star of 2023, CaptainStLucifer who then went on to finish 2nd five times within 12 months!

Very Classy (4yr Filly) (Aggie)

I believe we are now coming to an ideal time of year to see some progressive form from Very Classy. Although we were expecting to see a stronger run at Newcastle last time, the all-weather surfaces can present a different type of going/ground in summer and warmer temperatures due to the manufacturing substances used more so for the cold weather, along with the deep power harrowing they use when there is quieter times of racing. These factors can form a slower going/ground to work with. Although the tracks can be raced on all year round, the surface conditions don’t suit all the horses, all year round. Her previous placed performances were both at Newcastle in the winter/colder months of the year.
