We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the Ernest Cooper Macmillan Ride of Their Lives and raising vital funds for Macmillan Cancer Support — a charity that means so much to so many.

A huge thank you to our boss, Craig Lidster and to owners David & Val Barker for their kindness and support in allowing their horse Triple Force to take part. We’re extremely grateful for the opportunity.

Every donation, share, or word of encouragement helps make a real difference and supports the incredible work Macmillan do for people living with cancer.

Good luck Brian, we are all behind you 👍

NEW LEASE SYNDICATE – Alfa Kellenic’s Sister Now Available
 
We are delighted to introduce our new syndicate horse, A 2yo unraced filly by Mohaather, a Group winner as a 2yo, 3yo and 4yo latterly winning the coveted Group One Qatar Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Mohaather is the highest rated son of Showcasing, and he’s made an excellent start as a stallion himself. His progeny includes the 117 rated Big Mojo, a three time Group winner including the Group One Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes at Haydock, the progressive Cape Orator who was placed in the Group One Criterium International, the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes winner Ya Mo Be There, as well as a whole host of other promising types.
 
However, the most exciting part about becoming involved in this filly is that she is a half sister to Alfa Kellenic, a name synonymous with the success of Craig Lidster. Alfa Kellenic shaped with promise in her first two starts for the yard despite being tricky to keep right in the initial stages, before comfortably landing a Newcastle Maiden by four lengths. 

The Newcastle success was the first leg of a historic six timer for Alfa Kellenic, who was expertly nursed through ranks from a mark of 70, peaking 31lbs higher at a mark of 101. Her successes included a sentimental triumph at York in June, giving Craig Lidster his first win at his local track York, a stage where any trainer is thrilled to perform on. Alfa Kellenic then took the Ayr Gold Cup trial by a short head, before returning to York to land a valuable £51,540 prize at the heralded Ebor Festival.
 
Her ceiling hadn’t quite yet been reached, as she won the Ayr Silver Cup under a 5lbs penalty in fashionable style, breaking a course record in the process, becoming a rare three year old winning filly of that contest especially off near top-weight. 

Opportunities like this, combining pedigree depth, eligibility bonuses and affordable lease entry points, don’t tend to stay open for long.

Another two winners on the board 👏🐎
That takes us to 20 winners for the year — a fantastic milestone for the team.

🏆 Straight Ahead – wins the 15:47 at Newcastle Racecourse
🏆 Surgeon Commander – dead-heat winner of the 16:20 at Newcastle (A.W.)

A dead heat, but very much a winner — huge congratulations to all connections involved.

Brilliant riding once again by Sam James, and credit to Craig Lidster Racing team at home for keeping the winners rolling.

New Syndicate Opportunity – Limited Availability 🏇


We’re pleased to introduce a new syndicate opportunity involving a Far Above yearling filly, available on a lease basis. We now have just 20% of shares remaining.

The filly is by Far Above out of Invermere (by Kyllachy). Invermere was trained by Richard Fahey, winning 3 races and being placed 12 times, achieving an Official Rating of 83, with wins over 7f and 8f.

The pedigree goes deeper too — the grand-dam is a half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Sans Frontières, giving the filly a classic-winning black-type pedigree.

The filly’s sibling, by Phoenix of Spain, sold for 55,000gns at Tattersalls Book 2 last year and is currently in training with Charlie Hills, further underlining the strength of the family.

As the filly has never been entered into a public sale, there is no catalogue page available, but she has been selected specifically with early two-year-old races in mind.


Looking ahead to 2026


While plans will depend on how she progresses, early targets under consideration include:

Brocklesby Stakes – Doncaster
Marygate Stakes – York
Hilary Needler Trophy – Beverley
Windsor Castle Stakes – Royal Ascot


All decisions will be guided by trainer advice and how the filly performs, with the focus always on placing her where she can be competitive.

This is an affordable lease opportunity to be involved with a well-bred, precocious filly from a family with classic-winning credentials, with limited availability remaining.

🎄 Christmas Offer – Foal To Track Syndicate 🎄

For Christmas, we’ve introduced a special one-off offer on our Foal To Track syndicate.

A 0.30% share, normally £87, is now just £49 — available until midnight on Christmas Eve.

We’re now over 85% sold, with only 15% of shares remaining, and we fully expect the syndicate to sell out very soon.

It makes a great Christmas present — affordable, something a bit different, and you’ll own your percentage share in the foal once it’s born in March / April.

All purchases are completed via our website, with a contract agreed electronically at checkout, so everything is clear and transparent.

👉 www.craiglidsterracing.com

Thank you again to everyone who’s supported the project so far — it really does mean a lot to all of us at Craig Lidster Racing.

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Craig Lidster Racing 🎄

As we approach the end of the year, we would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported Craig Lidster Racing throughout the season.

2025 has been a successful and rewarding year for the team, with plenty of positives to reflect on — new owners joining us, growing syndicates, fantastic engagement across social media, and a real sense of momentum as we look ahead to the 2026 season.

None of this would be possible without the continued backing of our owners, syndicate members, supporters, and wider racing community, and we are incredibly grateful for your ongoing trust and support.

This Christmas, instead of sending cards, we will be making a donation to Racing Welfare, who do outstanding work supporting people across the racing industry.

On behalf of Craig, Laura, and the entire team — thank you once again. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful New Year. 🎅🐎

🎁 Here’s to an exciting 2026!
