Monday, September 1, 2025 – Richard Phillips Racing

Sumatran Tiger will be named in Bath in Bath on Wednesday with Charles Bishop on board. She ran pleasantly on her debut for us on the circuit in August and hopefully the step on travel fits her. ‘Tiggy’ is a double derby winner in Jersey and we look forward to jumping as soon as the ground decreases a little more because she has a lot of ability and enthusiasm.

Thank you to everyone who has made the National RaceHorse week such a success. It was a privilege to welcome three families through the excellent charity box4kids on Friday. We had an inspiring morning together and welcomed people last year by the charity, we look forward to it that it is an annual event for us during the week.

Beloved to go to Sandown on Saturday morning to appear in the ITV Racing opening show to discuss the various activities of the National Racehorse Week and the benefits. We look forward to ITV Racing and continues to support the week, together with its presenters.

It was great to catch up with Brough Scott afterwards to discuss all racing. Brough was on the program to remember the life of both Bruce Raymond and Geoff Lewis who recently died. Geoff was a youth hero of mine together with Mill Reef and I would drive past his ‘thirty -hectare shed’ stables in Epsom most evenings in my teenage years. I look forward to many young people involved in the National RaceHorse Week who told similar stories in the coming decades.
