🐎 MALTON OPEN DAY - SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER 🐎 Hi all, We're pleased to be supporting Malton Open Day 2026 and it would be great to see as many of our owners as possible come along and support the day. The racing yards will be open from 8:45am until 12 noon, giving everyone the opportunity to get behind the scenes and enjoy what is always a brilliant morning for racing in Malton. Importantly, by purchasing a ticket and supporting Malton Open Day, you are also helping to support the fantastic work Racing Welfare does for everyone working within the racing industry. It's a charity that provides invaluable support to racing staff and the wider racing community, so it would be great to see as many people as possible getting behind the day. Malton Open Day is once again linked with York Racecourse, with those attending also having the opportunity to purchase reduced-price tickets for the YorkMix Family Raceday that afternoon. It's a fantastic day to showcase racing in Malton, open our doors to the public and, most importantly, support a brilliant cause. Sunday 6th September 2026 Yards open: 8:45am - 12:00pm Trainer Craig Lidster said: "Malton Open Day is a fantastic experience for people who don't normally get to see the day-in and day-out of how a racehorse is prepared. It provides the opportunity to get up close and personal with our kind-natured racehorses and pose questions to the experienced and passionate racing staff, all whilst having a great family day out!"

Today is the day. After six months of dedication, hard work and commitment, Brian heads to the Knavesmire to take part in this year’s charity race aboard Intinso. Everyone at Craig Lidster Racing would like to wish Brian the very best of luck. We are incredibly proud of the effort he has put in throughout his training journey, and even more so of the fantastic cause he is supporting. Thanks to the generosity of so many people, Brian has already raised over £4,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, a truly remarkable charity that provides invaluable help, care and guidance to people and families affected by cancer when they need it most. Today isn’t just about the race itself – it’s about raising awareness and support for a cause that touches so many lives. Good luck Brian, Intinso and all of the other riders and horses taking part. We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable day, and we’re all cheering you on from the sidelines. @macmillancancer @yorkracecourse #TeamLidster #MacmillanCancerSupport #CharityRace #YorkRacecourse

We are delighted to confirm that our exciting 2-year-old filly by Mohaather has now arrived safely at the yard and has settled in well over her first few days. Even more incredibly, she is now completely SOLD OUT – a fantastic reflection of the enthusiasm and belief in this filly and our team from the outset. As you know, she brings with her a hugely exciting profile. By a Group One-winning sire in Mohaather, and more importantly, she is a half-sister to Alfa Kellenic, who gave us one of the most memorable seasons in the yard’s history. From winning a Newcastle maiden in style, to progressing through the ranks to a mark of 101, Alfa Kellenic delivered a remarkable six-timer, highlighted by: A special first York winner for the yard * Victory at the prestigious Ebor Festival * A superb success in the Ayr Silver Cup To improve a filly by 31lbs and earn over £130,000 in prize money speaks volumes about what can be achieved with the right horse and the right team—and that’s exactly the journey we hope this filly can take us on. She is E.B.F. nominated and 100% GBB eligible, adding further excitement and value as we look ahead to her future on the track. For those lucky enough to be involved, we truly believe this is a filly with plenty to look forward to, and we can’t wait to begin the journey with you. We’ll keep all owners updated regularly as she progresses through her early stages of training. Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

NEW SYNDICATE – Alfa Kellenic’s Sister Now Available 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇  We are delighted to introduce our new syndicate horse, A 2yo unraced filly by Mohaather, a Group winner as a 2yo, 3yo and 4yo latterly winning the coveted Group One Qatar Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. Mohaather is the highest rated son of Showcasing, and he’s made an excellent start as a stallion himself. His progeny includes the 117 rated Big Mojo, a three time Group winner including the Group One Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes at Haydock, the progressive Cape Orator who was placed in the Group One Criterium International, the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes winner Ya Mo Be There, as well as a whole host of other promising types.   However, the most exciting part about becoming involved in this filly is that she is a half sister to Alfa Kellenic, a name synonymous with the success of Craig Lidster. Alfa Kellenic shaped with promise in her first two starts for the yard despite being tricky to keep right in the initial stages, before comfortably landing a Newcastle Maiden by four lengths.  The Newcastle success was the first leg of a historic six timer for Alfa Kellenic, who was expertly nursed through ranks from a mark of 70, peaking 31lbs higher at a mark of 101. Her successes included a sentimental triumph at York in June, giving Craig Lidster his first win at his local track York, a stage where any trainer is thrilled to perform on. Alfa Kellenic then took the Ayr Gold Cup trial by a short head, before returning to York to land a valuable £51,540 prize at the heralded Ebor Festival.   Her ceiling hadn’t quite yet been reached, as she won the Ayr Silver Cup under a 5lbs penalty in fashionable style, breaking a course record in the process, becoming a rare three year old winning filly of that contest especially off near top-weight.  Improving a filly 31lbs and amassing over £130,000 in prize money is a testament to the capabilities of the team at Craig Lidster’s, and we are thrilled to have her half-sister in the hope she can take us on a similar journey. This represents an excellent opportunity to get involved in a well-bred filly at an accessible level. Availability is expected to be limited. The filly is E.B.F. nominated, and eligible for GBB Flat (100%), adding further long-term value.   Opportunities like this, combining pedigree depth, eligibility bonuses and affordable lease entry points, don’t tend to stay open for long.   Enquire your interest today: 📧 [email protected] to reserve your share..

Happy New Year to all our owners, followers and supporters.  2025 was a strong and rewarding year for the yard, and your support has been a huge part of that success.  We head into 2026 full of excitement, ambition and optimism — we can’t wait to see what the new season brings.
