Trainer Sally Randell holds her first owners' day at Broad Hinton
Sally introduces Sergeant Dick - 10-year-old owned by Connect EightShe finally got her trainer's licence last month - taking over Andy Turnell's Broad Hinton yard - and now, to mark her takeover, Sally Randell has held her first Owners' Day - on a windy day below Hackpen Hill with just a threatening spatter of rain.
Owners and members of syndicates gathered on Sunday (December 6) to see six of the horses in training put through their paces on the all-weather track and over jumps.
Leading them were Brodie Hampson on Lee Power's Driftashore and Ben Poste on a new arrival at the yard, five-year old Mandy's Boy - training for the 'Keeping the Dream Alive' Syndicate.
Sally Randell had been Assistant Trainer to Andy Turnell who is retiring after a stroke affected his right side. It's a real case of changing places as Andy Turnell is taking on the role of Sally Randell Racing's Assistant Trainer - keeping his experienced eye on the yard's horses.
Then Sally Randell introduced a parade of the fourteen horses she has in full training - and they include some younger horses with exciting prospects.
The yard's next entries will run - ground permitting - at Taunton on Thursday: Goal (a seven year-old gelding - owned by Mark Hampson and ridden by his daughter Brodie Hampson) and Bel Ami Rich (a five-year-old gelding owned by Paul Rich.)

Sally Randell's Horses to Watch:
Driftashore (left with Brodie Hampson) & Mandy's Boy (with Ben Poste)Mandy's Boy: a five-year-old Irish-bred bay gelding. Stable name - Mandy: "Just joined us. Won on the flat and over hurdles for Ian Williams. Well handicapped and ready to run later this month. Jumps really well - so we are excited he will go novice chasing for us."
Driftashore: eight-year-old Irish-bred bay gelding. Stable name - Drifter: "Purchased from Ireland in 2013 and bolted up in his first point-to-point when I was training him. Won his maiden hurdle impressively at Ffos Las for Andy last April with Brodie aboard. Rated 130 and we will be excited to see him run in some Saturday races this winter."
Aristocracy Aristocracy: a four-year-old bay gelding. Stable name - Alfy: "Placed in all his juvenile hurdles last year before winning a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last November ridden by Brodie Hampson. Going really well." Then he was pulled up at Uttoxeter on November 14 - Sally says: "He hasn't ran over hurdles in a while so it blew the cobwebs out and a drop down in grade will help for his next race."
Versant - with Sam Burton
Versant: three-year-old bay gelding. Stable name - Vic: "Unraced half brother to the Godolphin owned True Story who rated 112 on the flat! In Sam Burton's opinion having ridden out on Vic: 'He is a machine!' He will be aimed at juvenile bumpers around Christmas."
