Galloping to steal Christmas 🎄

20/12/2025

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.

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!

Craig Lidster is a trainer in FORM, having won THREE of his last four races!

He has just the ONE runner at Newcastle this afternoon...

Can he extend his impressive strike-rate even further? 👀
