Fenella Rose Finishes Promising Second On Debut

8th May 2009

FENNELLA ROSE ran a cracking debut race to finish second to hot favourite Habaayib in the 5f Median Auction Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Nottingham today.

Her run was all the more impressive considering the winner had the benefit of a previous run and had cost 130,000gns as a yearling, compared to just 10,000gns that David Redvers paid for Fenella Rose when purchasing her as a yearling for Tweenhills Racing.

This Compton Place two-year-old is bred to be sharp and is sure to be in the winner's enclosure soon now she has more experience.

Tweenhills Racing's other two-year-old filly, COUNTRY PRINCESS, was also in the frame this week finishing fourth in a Maiden at Windsor last night.

On Friday, FENELLA ROSE, makes her debut in the 5f Median Auction Maiden Fillies Stakes at Nottingham. Her trainer, Stuart Williams, believes she looks a sharp type and has also been in fine form at home.

Two T B A Awards For Tweenhills

6th January 2009

Tweenhills stud groom, ROISIN CLOSE, was a deserving winner of the TBA Annual Stud Staff Award in London today at the annual TBA Awards.

Roisin has been with the stud for 10 years, during which time it has expanded significantly. She started out looking after Tweenhills’ stallions and helping with sales preparation but after only a year in the job was appointed stud groom as a reward for her selfless dedication.

Redvers continued: "Roisin thoroughly deserves this recognition. She came originally to do the stallions and has continued to progress and take control. She eats, breathes and sleeps the job and is a vital cog in the operation."

Tweenhills sire LUCKY STORY was also presented with a TBA Award today receiving the Tattersalls Silver Salver as the leading British-based first season Flat sire in 2008.

He achieved six individual winners of 10 races and total prize money of £165,419. His best performer was Art Connoisseur, successful in the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and runner-up in the Gr.1 Phoenix Stakes.

Lucky Story stands at Tweenhills on behalf of Darley. Redvers said: "I’m thrilled because it is a hard job competing with higher profile, more expensive stallions so it is great for a small value horse to come through.

"He has a reasonable bunch of two-year-olds from this year and a couple of yearlings that I have bought for clients, so I would think he should build on what he has done and it is very exciting.
