Racing Post Saturday August 31st 2013 p17
"Beacon Lady one of
racing's small heroines. "
Pic: William Knight:
claimed Beacon Lady for only £3,000
Beacon Lady's of racing, the small heroes and heroines that fill in the gaps
between the big ones's.
"They
may not win anything grand, they may not even be especially good judged by the
cold, unsentimental eye of ratings, but there is something about them. They
work their way into our affections, draw us in and make us want them to win.
Beacon Lady is like that.
"A
humble beginning helps. Bred by Ashley House Stud in Devon, Beacon Lady was
entered to be sold at Tattersalls October 2010 yearlings sale but was withdrawn
and found herself with Dorset trainer Bill Turner, racing in the colours of his
wife, Tracy.
"Beacon
Lady started by finishing fourth of five, beaten over 15 lengths, in a maiden
at Southwell in June 2011. It was a Class 5 race, which was above her station
in life. Beacon Lady's next 13 appearances were all in Class 6 events.
"On
her second run two months later Beacon Lady came fourth in a seller, then
rounded off her juvenile career by finishing last of 11 in a claimer at Kempton
the following month. Inspirationally, acting on behalf of The Pro-Claimers, trainer William Knight
claimed Beacon Lady for £3,000.
"Armed
with a handicap rating of 50, Beacon Lady made her first entry in her three-
year -old curriculum vitae by being beaten 23 lengths in a handicap at
Lingfield in June last year. Dropped to 48, she then finished last of 11,
beaten 34 lengths, at 50-1. Then Beacon Lady went to Brighton
last September.
"It
was the making of her, Down to a lowly 46, hooded for the first time and racing
over a mile, Beacon Lady put up an amazing performance, blazing from last to
first down the wide outside to win at an ungenerous 16-1 (28-1 on the Tote). No
wonder Nicole Nordblad came off after winning post; shock, I expect.
"Beaten
at Lingfield, Beacon Lady returned to Brighton
last October, this time over one and a half miles on heavy ground. She finished
a creditable second of 14, and retired for the season.
"She
has been much busier this year. On her third run Beacon Lady finished second at
Brighton . On her fourth run, again at Brighton , rated 51, Beacon Lady cruised from last to
first and won easily.
"Early
in July Beacon Lady finished second again at Brighton ,
and the Pro-Claimers, who include Andrew Black, Betfair's co-founder may have
been thinking of selling her. Beacon Lady was entered for Tattersalls July
sales but withdrawn.
"Elivated
to a rating of 60, the daughter of Haafhd finished second again,
inevitably at Brighton, where she was
becoming a familiar visitor, giddy
heights of a Class 4, 0-80 handicap, Beacon Lady won at Brighton
again.
"THERE
were only three runners, but there were 14 when she returned on August 8 for
the prestigious (for Brighton ) Brighton
Challenge Cup, worth £12,450 to the winner. Now rated 64 in a competitive 0-80
handicap, Beacon Lady started at 9-1. Under Darren Egan, she did it again, in
her trademark style.
"Hooded,
looking slightly quirky, her head held high, Beacon Lady came from last to
first with a scything run up the wide outside and won easily. Black resplendent
in summer shorts, was there to greet her.
"That
was the day Beacon Lady etched her name on the long list of beloved Brighton
specialists, among them Operatic Society, who won seven races there in the
early 1960's, Shikari's Son, who won nine in the early 1990's, and Mandhooma,
who won seven races between 2009 and 2011, every one at Brighton.
"The
day after winning Brighton Challenge Cup
Beacon Lady cantered down to the start again, back in a Class 6 contest. She
carried 10st 6lb, less apprentice Oisin Murphy's 7lb allowance, and triumphed
in exactly the same way, coming from last to first on the outside. That took
her tally of wins to five, all at Brighton .
"Derby Brighton .
"Beacon
Lady is one of those wonderful small heroines of horseracing who play such a
big part in the joy of the sport. If she never wins another race she will have
left her memories, and her time in the sun may not be over yet. Tomorrow,
Beacon Lady will run at Brighton again, up in
class, down in distance, a 6lb penalty taking her to a rating of 85.
"It's
a tough task. Wouldn''t it be wonderful if she could do it?"

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BEACON LADY SO FAR
ch f Sire
Haafhd - Dam Oriental Lady
In
the spring of 2009 Beacon Lady was born at Ashley House Stud in Devon
http://ashleyhousestud.co.uk/
In
October 2010 Beacon Lady was entered to be sold at Tattersalls yearling sales, but
was withdrawn. Instead Beacon Lady found herself with Dorset
trainer Bill Turner to be prepared for her two year old debut on the Flat running in the colours of Turner's wife
Tracy.
Beacon
Lady now a two year old, had her debut run in a maiden at Southwell in June
2011, with her second run two months later finishing fourth in a seller. Then
rounded off her two year old season finishing last of 11 in a claimer at Kempton
Park where she was claimed by trainer
William Knight for £3,000 on behalf of
owners, The Pro-Claimers.
As
a three year old in June 2012 armed with a rating of 50 Beacon Lady ran in a
handicap at Lingfield
Park
In
September 2012 BEACON LADY was entered to run at Brighton ,
over a mile, her rating down to a lowly
46, hooded for the first time and with NICOLE NORDBLAD in the saddle.
It was during this Brighton race when galloping for the first time down the hill on the Brighton racetrack, that BEACON LADY first learned that she could gallop faster going down that hill. Like a kid on a bike, free wheeling down a hill for the first time, a different experience. BEACON LADY hadn't learned much until this day. She learned something for herself that day, that it was much quicker to gallop down hill. If that is what she was being asked and expected to do. The hood will have helped Beacon Lady to concentrate on the job in hand.
Having settled in with Team Knight to help her, BEACON LADY has been able to gain her confidence, BEACON LADY going from strength to strength having a much busier year this year David tells us. Now a four year old (2013).
David tells us that BEACON LADY won at Brighton on July 25th The Brighton Challenge Cup with a prize of £12,450, and again 14 days later another win on August 8th at Brighton, coming out the very next day again at Brighton on August 9th and winning again. What an achievement, a great compliment to Team Knight. Then on Bank Holiday Monday August 26th, 17 days later to Epsom this time to win the Amateur Derby with Patrick Mullins in the saddle. The owners, The Pro-Claimers must be over the moon. On Sunday at Brighton BEACON LADY up in class, down in distance, a 6lb penalty taking her to a rating of 85, with apprentice OISIN MURPHY'S 7lb allowance helping a little bit, to finish 4th. Maybe now BEACON LADY has earned a break to refresh, after her brilliant winning streak.
People do not appear to realise that yearlings and two year olds are only just babies with masses to learn. Whether they learn anything or not all depends on the handler rider who cares for their rights and needs every day, that persons skills absolutely vital throughout the yearling two -year-old days in training.
There is a great deal of difference between a skilled handler rider and a passanger both in the saddle and out of it. The BHA treat those who have served the sport of horseracing all their lives, working at the top of their profession, like convicts, when instead they should be thanking them for their huge and wonderful imput to this sport.
In the news at present we hear about the money payed for football players. The BHA have got away with meanness beyond all belief in the way they treat horsemen. Evil corruption hiding their dirty deeds behind a welfare charity that exists to ensure extreme poverty, that has netted these governments billions of pounds each year off other peoples backs, to include the horses. Blood money, Rip off Britain Blood money.

The true unrecognised British Equus Zone needs lifting right out of the BHA'S hands completely.And the sooner the better. Nicola Nordblad, and all the young ones like her are needed so badly in the saddle to tutor all yearlings and two year olds. Nichola worth her weight in gold and more far more to Global Horseracing for her expertize in the saddle in this zone.
British horseracing in 2013 a shadow, an historic relic of what it should be.
She won six races, three
over 11f. at Brighton .
And once at Epsom over 12f. Knight used 5 different riders: Nicola
Nordblad (5), Racheal Kneller (1), DE Egan (2), Oisin Murphy (2), Mr P W
Mullins (1). Knight ran Beacon Lady over 4 different trips.
Pioneering rider Nichola Nordblad possibly taught Beacon Lady the
most over the period from September 2012 throughout to July 2013.
If Nicola Nordblad was a top football player what would her input be
worth? And what would her monthly salary be?
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 5th 2013
Graham Green in the Racing Post today tell us "Talented apprentice Nicola Nordblad, who has not been seen in racecourse action for more than a month, yesterday admitted she is close to calling time on her riding career. Speaking on her way to saddle Beauchamp Xerxes last night for her boss, Oxfordshire-based Hans Adielsson, the 18-year-old said: "I'm struggling with my weight and I'm not sure if 'm going to keep riding."The true unrecognised British Equus Zone needs lifting right out of the BHA'S hands completely.And the sooner the better.
