News

Roger Charlton is excited about the "fairytale" prospect of Time Lock bringing the curtain down on his training partnership with son Harry by winning the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.  Last month, the Derby-winning trainer revealed he would relinquish his part of their joint licence at the end of the season while remaining involved at the historic Beckhampton base, which was once home to the likes of Fred Darling and Noel Murless.
