BACKINFORGLORY (IRE) | Gloria | She has taken a while to come to herself, and had some time off with a knock, but has got the hang of the job now. She knows her own mind! | 8 | Bay Mare | Fame and Glory | Backinthere | The Secret Circle & The Lump O'Clock Syndicate | | |
BEAUFORT WEST (IRE) | Beau | He’s can be a bit of a grump in the stable. At work he’s a keen sort, very forward going | 10 | Bay Gelding | Getaway | Blessing in disguise | Dan Shaw | | |
BE FAIR (GB) | Two Tone | A regular flat winner, he has recently joined us for hurdling in the 2023/4 jumps season | 8 | Bay Gelding | Kyllachy | Going For Gold | Secret Circle Racing Club | | |
BIRDMAN BOB (IRE) | Birdie | Arrived in November 2022, he had been in training before coming to Shovelstrode. He has won over hurdles, but chasing will be his game. | 7 | Chestnut Gelding | Flemensfirth | Brijomi Queen | Surefire Racing | | |
BROWN BULLET (IRE) | Betty | She can be a tricky ride, as she can get a bit fizzy. But she’s lovely and cuddly in the stable & has turned her fizz into three wins. She is now retired and is waiting for chance to join the broodmare ranks | 9 | Bay Mare | Arcadio | Barrack Buster | Dan Shaw, Simon Clare & Andy Irvine | | |
CLONDAW ROBIN (IRE) | Robin | The plan was to retire him after last season, but Robin did not approve, so he will be on his usual agenda of local tracks this term, now running for the Secret Circle Racing Club | 11 | Chestnut Gelding | Robin Des Champs | Old Town Queen | Secret Circle Racing Club | | |
CRESTA CAT (GB) | | A new purchase in February 2024, he settled in very quickly and is about to make the switch to jumps after a light flat career | 4 | Bay Gelding | Bobby's Kitten | Alpensinfonie | Ian Beach | | |
DEN THE DIVA (GB) | Bella | Came to us from the sales in the summer 2022, she has been coming along nicely, gently progressing with racing experience. | 5 | Bay Filly | Black Sam Bellamy | Bisou | Eventmasters Racing | | |
EKLIL (GB) | Eric | A new purchase at the start of September 2023, he had a nicely progressive career in flat racing, and we are hoping for more of the same over jumps. He seems like a calm, sensible horse who will adapt well. | 5 | Bay Gelding | Invincible Spirit | Raaqy | Adrian Lewers & Dan Shaw | | |
FLEMEN'S TIPPLE (IRE) | Tip | He joined us in Spring 2022. A very well bred horse, he works like one too. He has finished second in three staying hurdles but looks as if chasing will bring out the best in him. | 7 | Bay Gelding | Flemensfirth | Marie Des Ange | Andy Irvine & Jokulhlaup Syndicate | | |
GODOT (IRE) | Cookie | A winner over hurdles, he has already succeeded over fences too, in his first season chasing, and there should be more to come. | 7 | Chesnut Gelding | Getaway | La Cerisaie | Adrian Lewers, Dan Shaw & Andy Irvine | | |
GOLD CLERMONT (FR) | Clare | She came to us in Spring 2022 having had a few physical issues, but we have got her on the right track and she has done herself justice in the current season four wins. She likes it muddy. | 8 | Bay Mare | Balko | Une Dame D'Or | Doyoufollow Partnership | | |
HESBEHINDYOU (IRE) | Buddy | Can be sharp with his back legs, definitely not the Farrier’s favourite. Good in his work, placed over hurdles and another chase prospect. | 8 | Bay Gelding | Curtain Time | Veronica’s Gift | The Plum Merchants | | |
LADY DENA (GB) | Dena | She has come to us at the end of the summer in 2023 still unraced, and after some hard work she is almost ready for her racing debut. | 8 | Bay Mare | Dylan Thomas | Sarianna | Jan Gawthorpe | | |
MINELLA MAJESTIC (IRE) | M&M | He came to us in the Spring of 2023 whilst injured and at the time it seemed as if it may be a career ending injury, but a nice long rest has seen the injury heal well enough to bring him back into training | 9 | Bay Gelding | Shantou | Classic Lin | The Rockbourne Parthnership | | |
MISTER MOSE (IRE) | | He arrived at Shovelstrode in the summer of 2023 when his previous trainer retired | 9 | bay gelding | Jeremy | Gypsy Lou | John H W Finch | | |
PRIVATEARING (GB) | Biggles | Joined us in autumn of 2021 and was very naive about being a racehorse. He has learned a lot since and has finished second over hurdles, but should be best as a chaser. | 8 | Bay Gelding | Black Sam Bellamy | Diamond Dee | Jokulhlaup Syndicate | | |
SHAW'S CROSS (IRE) | | Another summer 2023 arrival after Paul Henderson retired | 12 | Bay Gelding | Mr Dinos | Capparoe Cross | Mareildar Racing Part 1 | | |

unnamed | Micky | A new purchase in June 2023, he was unbroken at the time but has settled in well and we aim for a racing debut in Spring 2024 | 4 | Bay Gelding | Pether's Moon | Molly Potter | Jokulhlaup Syndicate | | |
