The month began with Kisskodi gaining a deserved victory in a Class 5 0-72 Handicap, confirming his consistency and ability to handle competitive handicaps, he should be able to string a few together now. 

Command The Stars was another to impress, stepping forward stylishly to land a Class 4 Novice Stakes, a performance that suggested there is more to come from the classy son of Sea The Stars.

Front Line Fury broke his maiden by 4 lengths at Ripon and looked to be a 2-year-old with an exciting future in front of him for George Scott and Victorious Racing.

The improving Rogue Millions made his mark in stronger company, taking the Class 4 0-85 Handicap with authority. On the same upward curve, Royal Approval showed his class with a decisive win in a Class 2 0-100 Handicap on the All Weather at Newcastle, underlining his potential to compete at an even higher level. Rogue Bullet also added his name to the list of June scorers, toughing it out to win a Class 5 0-75 Handicap, while abroad, Riding Together carried our interests successfully in Hong Kong, an achievement that highlights the global reach of our horses.

Away from the winners’ enclosures, all eyes were on Royal Ascot, where the combination of world-class racing, international competition, and unmatched atmosphere once again lived up to expectations. The meeting served not only as a stage for champions but also as a reminder of the heights to which every horse in training aspires. With record attendances and thrilling finishes across the week, it was a festival that captured the imagination of the entire racing world.

With Royal Ascot behind us and several new winners on the board, June has provided another solid step forward. The string is in fine form, and we look ahead to the peak summer months with confidence and excitement.
