Manor House Stables Partners With NAF

Michael Owen and Andrew Black's Manor House Stables has partnered with equine nutrition and care product supplier NAF as an official yard sponsor.

“As a former elite sportsman, I am fully aware of the fine margins that can be the difference between success and failure,” said Owen. “In the same way that footballers need to get the right nutritional balance between fuel and hydration for optimum performance, it's important that horses get the right balance too. This is why I am delighted to welcome NAF onboard as a main sponsor at Manor House Stables. With over 30 years' experience, they are leaders in their field and I look forward to a successful partnership both on and off the track.”

Sammy Martin, NAF Racing Manager, added “I am thrilled that we are in the position of being able to announce an official partnership with Manor House Stables. They are focused on ensuring that each and every horse receives the five-star care and support that they require from the day that they arrive on the yard as a youngster all the way through to their first visit to a racecourse and beyond. The hands on approach adopted by both ourselves and the entire team at the yard will of course be critical to the success of the partnership and we are truly excited to follow the progress of all of the horses whilst being available to share our knowledge and help the horses deliver every time.”

Look Who’s Back: Martin Pedroza Wins First Race In 18 Months

In Thursday's ninth and final race at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., 55-year-old jockey Martin Pedroza, riding his first race in 18 months, posted a front-running, 3¼-length victory on Ken and Sarah Ramsey's homebred first-time starter Cornbread Hill.

Trained by Wesley Ward, Cornbread Hill ($13.80) covered the 6 furlongs in 1:10.40.

Pedroza had stopped riding races in October of 2019 for personal reasons, according to the Daily Racing Form, including losing his “deep-seated desire to ride races.”

He had been exercise riding for Ward in Kentucky, and the trainer needed a replacement jockey in Thursday's last race.

After the victory, Ward said he was “extremely happy to see Martin back in his favorite place – the winner's circle.”
