National Hunt

Papini (Ire)
A chestnut gelding by the 2004 6th highest rated British and Irish Sire Lomitas. A fantastically bred individual that is a very progressive and forward type with huge amounts of potential. A seriously impressive debut National Hunt season notching up 2 wins and 2 places from 5 starts. His 3rd season started with a bang - winning by 2 1/2 lengths in a competitive Handicap Hurdle Race at Haydock on 1st November 2006. Papini followed this up with a jaw droppingly impressive win at Sandown on 6th January 2007 in a £50,000 Handicap Hurdle Race on bottomless ground. Papini thrilled his owners by running in both the prestigious Totesport Trophy at Newbury and then The County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on Gold Cup Day. Sadly NewROG lost Papini in February 2008 to a fracture sustained when he became cast in his box. Papini owed NewROG nothing, providing us with days racing at the big tracks, at the big meetings and in the big races not forgetting all the trips to the Winners’ Enclosure. His record proves it all: 18 National Hunt runs, 5 Wins, 6 Places and notching up a total of just over £68,000 in prize money. He was our wonder horse, farewell lovely ‘Ini’.

Kyper Disco (Fr)
A bay gelding by Epervier Blue, sold at the August 2006 Doncaster Bloodstock Sales to the North Yorkshire based trainer H Hogarth for 11,000 Gns.

Diamond Monroe (Ire)
A chestnut gelding by Treasure Hunter. A staying sort who favoured quick ground and a prominent front-running position. WINNER in a 3 mile Handicap Hurdle (7 races: 1 win, 4 places). After much thought Diamond Monroe was sold at auction in August 2004 by NewROG and is now trained in the north by Chris Grant.

Chapeltown (Ire)
A bay gelding by Denel (Fr). The highest rated novice hurdler during 2000-2001 season and the course recorder holder at Newbury for 2 miles 3 furlongs (hurdles). A seriously professional horse having been placed in 8 out of his 11 British races (including 5 WINS). Sadly we lost Chapeltown to a serious tendon injury in May 2004 after his impressive and very brave win at Hereford.

Flat

Pommes Frites
A 3-year-old bay filly by the top 2-year-old sire, Bertolini. The lease expired at the end of October 2006.

Cesar Manrique (Ire)
A striking 3-year-old chestnut colt by the French Guineas winner Vettori; proven after winning 5f maiden at Bath in October 2004. Cesar had a very encouraging first run of the season in April at Newmarket (Racing Post Race Analysis - "Cesar Manrique also caught the eye .... staying on when the race was all over. There are good races to be won with him.") but sadly after that showed nothing and NewROG decided to end its lease with Cesar at the end of October 2005.

Blaze The Trail
A 3-year-old pretty bay filly by 1995 St Ledger winner Classic Cliché (Ire). A large, powerful type who needed a cut in the ground and a decent trip. Only leased for the season by the syndicate, Blaze was sent back to her owner/breeder at the start of November after sadly not producing any wins for us.
