Dear Phil
I just wanted to say thanks yesterday for a truly remarkable day with Whinhill winning for us and the club. It was amazing. I must say that this club is simply too cheap! I have been an owner 5 times in a year and halfs membership. How is that for value for money - just £180 it's ridiculous! For all the people out there that enjoy there racing this new club does exactly what it says on the tin and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone. It gives you something that no other club offers as well as a variety of other benefits. The Destiny team are simply fantastic and there is no better feeling than owning a winner!!!! Destiny you are a star, Thankyou
All the best
John D - from Scotland

Hi Phil
Thanks for a great day at Musselburgh yesterday. Experiencing your own racehorse win a race was a dream come true for me and a memory I will cherish forever. I backed him to win and Whinhill didnt let us down. The whole day was remarkable and i can,t wait to order my photos to take pride of place in my house. It wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Destiny. This is truly the best thing in racing today.
Thanks again

Hi to the winning team!!!
What a day at Musselburgh with Whinhill romping to victory under a great ride from Tony Hamilton. I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent professionalism showed by Destiny and their hosts Phillip and Dennis and trainer David Barker to make the day truly wonderful. We arrived at the course early, had lunch and then went to meet the rest of the time in the owners bar. There we had a drink with David where he was very bullish about our chances. We had our photo taken with the jockey in the parade ring and then it was off to see Whinhill romp home from the stands. We gave him a rapturous reception in the winners enclosure and all went up to the podium to receive our trophy. We were then invited for a drink and to watch the race agian from the winners room. All in all a day to remember and I will never forget it - Thanks Destiny

Hello Destiny
I just wanted to drop you a line to say a big 'thankyou' for owning Mill Creek at Carlise, the third time I have had this opportunity and I have only been in the club 1 year! It represents tremendous value and I cannot speak highly enough of the whole operation. I am just waiting for my photo to arrive with the trainer and jockey, to take pride of place on my living room wall. I can't wait for the next time!
Regards
Lindsay W - Yorkshire

Hi Phil and all at Destiny
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Phil and teh team for an unforgettable evening at Catterick when i was owner for a day. It was so exciting to be able to go into the ring and meet David Barker and Tyrone Williams, not forgetting a close up with Whinhill House. David advised us to back him each way and Whinhill finished third at 8/1. We all cheered him on and the cream of the cake was to meet him in the winners enclosure.
FANTASTIC Destiny - thank you
Mel W - Derby

Hello Phil
Thank you for a most memorable day eperience as owner for the day when I owned Intersky Music. The opportunity to meet an idol of mine and legend Jonjo O'Neill was fantatsic and Destiny really do look after their owners. I look forward to the next time!

Hi Destiny
I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for a fantastic night at Catterick when I was owner of Whinhill House. It was an absloute thrill and Whinhill led all the way until the last few yards where he eventually finished third. To end up in the winners enclosure was a bonus. I would like to thank Phil, Dennis and trianer David Barker for their hospitality and professionalism and also the information as David said he would finish in the first three and to back him each way. The weather was great and my guests Alan and George thoroughly enjoyed it all too and we will never forget our perfect day. Thank you Destiny for making our dreams come true,
Christine H - Filey

Hi Phil
Just a note to say what a great day we had at David Barkers open day, it was great to see all the horses and meet David Barker and also meet all the people involved with Destiny Racing. Thanks for delivering my prize at the guest house for me. I have shown practically everybody in the town them.
Thanks very much we had a great day!
Charmaine and Les - West Yorks

Dear Phil and the team
Many thanks indeed for organizing everything for me when i was the owner for the day at Musselburgh of our club horse Whinhill House. I thought the whole day was superb and as usual Destiny did the business in a most professional way. Thanks to Destiny host John for his hospitality. I was hoping to speak to Stoute, Cecil and Bin Suroor but David Barker and Linda Perrett were all I could manage. Once again Phil many, many thanks and very well done for tipping Rebel Duke and Ansells Pride
yours
Stan B - Musselburgh

Just a little note to say a BIG thankyou for a great day at Bangor, when i was owner for a day.Phil ( the Boss) and Dennis (the king)were on hand to point out who was who, in this prestigous circle of trainers and owners, and Yes i was one of them, if only for a day.
Intersky Music was racing and even though i didn't get to meet John Jo-O'Neill, i did meet his Head Lad, and may i say what a smashing young man, i think he was more nervous than me, The excitement of going into the paddock, and seeing all those people looking at us,and wishing they could change places and for once i was looking back, with my head held high, thinking that was me once, BUT not today, today i get to feel like a million dollars.
Intersky Music ran a cracking race, and that nudge on the last bend did cost him the race, the adrenalin was pumping and i did have to behave myself but inside i was screaming for Intersky Music to win, He came second but at least he was home safe, ready to fight another day.
cameras flashing, sweating, heart beating fast, wide eyed and that was just me, Intersky Music was loving the attention, crowds were giving there own opinion on the race, of why the horse didn't win, but i didn't care, My horse for a day came home safe.
We went back to the bar to celebrate, Phil bought me a COKE, cheers mate! all the owners and trainers were talking, and it seems to me that once they know you have had a potential winner, they are more relaxed and eager to talk about your horse and their horse.
What a fantastic day, i was on cloud 9 for days afterwards, i would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Many Thanks
Caroline R - WIGAN

Thank you for a brilliant day on the 19th December when I was the owner of Intersky Music for the day at Bangor.
It was like a DREAM come true to be in the Parade Ring as an owner talking to the jockey and trainer and when Intersky came second it made a good day brilliant. Then after the race having a drink in the owners bar with the other owners and trainers made a brilliant day thanks to Destiny Racing Club
Andrew J - Cheltenham

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Destiny for a superb day out at Haydock on 22/12. It was good to see the club's name up in lights and we all had a marvellous time despite the awful weather (I even managed to win some cash!!!). My friend Mark, who accompanied me, asked me to pass on his Thanks to David and Caroline for their hospitality and friendliness. Once again, a big THANK YOU.
John B - Merseyside
________________________________________________
Just a quick note to say a big THANK YOU for a wonderful day out at Bangor-on-Dee where I was on owner for the day. It was an absolute privilege to meet the great Jonjo O'Neill, something I may never have done but for Destiny and also, our horse ran a nice race to finish a very creditable 3rd. I think you have a marvellous concept with Destiny and long may it prosper.
Regards,
John B - Merseyside

I am writing to say how much my wife, daughter and I enjoyed the day as owners at Bangor races with DRC on November 14th. We had a lovely time and we were made very welcome by Phil from Destiny.
It was an experience never to be forgotten mixing with the other owners and trainers in the enclosure. The day was rounded off by having our photos taken with Jonjo O'Neill and the horse Intersky Music which finished in 3rd place.
THANK YOU.
John M - West Midlands
________________________________________________
I wanted to write to all at Destiny Racing Club, particularly to Phil and Dennis to say what a fantastic day out I had at Nottingham for the running of Destinys Dream.
I have been in other racing clubs before, but have never been entertained in the owners and trainers bar before, let alone being sat next to Henry Cecil!!
OK so the icing on the cake would have been for Destinys Dream to have been placed, but the hospitality was spot on, and I truly felt like I owned the horse for the day.
Once again thanks for a brilliant day.
Andy F - Worcester
________________________________________________
I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU, you and your club have given myself and David a new aim in life, our dreams are slowly becoming a reality.
David's goal is of course to be more involved in racing, our dreams are now on the horizon and its all down to you guys.
A Big Thank You!!
Caroline R - Wigan

I would like to express my thanks for a great day at Newcastle races as owner for the day of the David Barker trained Top Jaro.
Myself and my wife Moira had a great days racing enjoying full run of all the facilities at Gosforth Park. This was our first visit to the north east venue and what a nice little track it is with great viewing and all facilities close at hand. We enjoyed the informal way in which our day was organised for us and the way we were able to do our own thing as we pleased. Special mention to Andy for his friendly and informative approach to our day out.
I shall look forward to the next owner for the day competition and will probably be the first to call in with my entry.
Thanks again.
Steve C - Keighly

Thanks again for a great day at Ayr!
I can't believe that I was lucky enough to be co-owner once again. This is the 3rd time I have won!!
It was great to welcome Top Jaro into the winner's enclosure for his gutsy performance to take 3rd. Having been involved in racing for many years as a member of various syndicates I can honestly say that the Destiny team are second to non for their professionalism and dedication to the sport of kings. I would have no hesitation in recommending this racing club to anyone.
I was surprised when talking to the team from Destiny that not many members were phoning into the competition line to be owners for the day, as I said this is the 3rd time I have won since joining in April.
And to help make the Destiny team make this the best club available I would say to fellow members get on the phone and use the competition line and the tipping line and support a great team make Destiny the best racing club ever, they deserve it!!
Thanks again from a very happy member.
John D - Kelso

I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the owners for the day when Top Jaro ran at Ayr.
We arrived in plenty of time, picked up our owners badges, and were lucky enough to get seats in the owners and trainers bar next to another owner with a runner in the first race which he said had a good chance of getting a place. We therefore had a small investment at 33/1 and were delighted when it came 3rd!! The owner was delighted and proceeded to buy some bottles of wine to celebrate with us.
About an hour before our race we met with the other owners for the day and the people from Destiny who kindly bought us all a drink.
Top Jaro looked very well and we were informed he should be in the first 3. We met our jockey Tony Hamilton who was also hopeful of a good display provided the horse did not pull too hard.
Armed with this information we all went off to the owners and trainers viewing area (after having an each way bet of course) and waited expectantly for the off. We all cheered Top Jaro on when he challenged at the 2 furlong pole and although he did not quicken in the rainsoftened going he ran on well to be 3rd.
We then went into the winners enclosure and had our photographs taken with the horse and jockey which will be a great momento of the day.
Hopefully I will get the chance to see him winning as an owner. As well as the thrill of having a runner we were able to mix in circles which only the rich normally can. Alan Jarvis chatted with us and commiserated with me as his horse had beaten mine - my mother found him charming!!
Without Destiny a day such as this could only be dreamed of. I would like to thank all concerned with the club and would thoroughly recommend joining to anyone as where else could you get such pleasure for a relatively small outlay and the chance of winning more than your subscription fee!!
Gillian F - Oldham

Thank you for a terrific day out at Beverley where I was an owner for the day of Mill Creek.
Winning this prize in Destiny Racing's competition and the thrill of being the owner for the day was a remarkable experience, and one I certainly wont forget.
Meeting the Trainer and Jockey in the parade ring before and after the race gives you a behind the scenes experience at close quarters which is very informative, and listening to the professional people who train and ride for a living gives you an insight into racing.
The people are very friendly and informative and I would certainly advise any racegoer to join Destiny Racing Club to experience the thrill and atmosphere of maybe being an owner for the day as I was.
A fantastic experience to say the least - Thank you Destiny Racing Club
David R - Wigan

Thanks for a terrific day at Beverley, everything was organised superbly well and we had a great time.
Special thanks for looking after us, the personal touch makes all the difference. This is the third racing club I've been with and in my opinion the best.
Hope to do it all again one day.
Thanks again.
Mike A - Hull

Thank you so much for a splendid day racing at Beverley as an owner of Mill Creek.
I think we can say that she ran a great race after being so badly hampered leaving the stalls. She was so brave to battle on and finish 4th after losing so many lengths at the start. I am sure she will win her race soon....
It was a pleasure to meet you and all the other members in attendance, and thank you for looking after me so well.
I wish Destiny Racing all the very best for the future and I look forward to meeting up again in the not so distant future.
Best Wishes
Sue Q - Knaresborough

Destinys Dream's triumph at Beverley provided me with the greatest thrill I have ever had on a racecourse,
Yet, exactly 24 hours before the race was run, I had no idea that I was about to be an owner for the day, let alone a winning one.
When my husband, who is also a Destiny member, and I rang to enter the competition I really had no expectation of such success as the day brought, thanks to the flawless organisation that took us through the Owners' entrance to the winner's enclosure.
The race itself truly had a dream like quality about it as our filly surged clear of the pack and won "going away" by four lengths. But then we experienced the reality of being invited into the Winners' Bar for a glass of Champagne, with which to view several video recordings of our heroine's superb win.
The Club looked after us impeccably and we're eternally grateful for the chance to share in all the excitement of Destiny's second winner.
Here's to the next one!
Barbara and Michael H - Beverley

WOW!
I was delighted to be drawn out as an owner for the day at Beverley when Destinys Dream ran, but that was just the start of a fantastic day out.
I arrived at the course to be met by Andy and Phil who introduced me to the two other owners Klaudia and Barbara, and also many more club members.
After a friendly chat we were introduced to Ann Duffield and then made our way into the parade ring, where Ann gave us her honest opinion about Destinys Dream.
We then went to the owners viewing area to watch the race and could not stop screaming and shouting when she hit the front and won by 4 lengths - What a fantastic feeling.
I can not thank everyone involved enough for making my dream come true. This was a wonderful day I will always remember.
James W - Doncaster
_________________________________________________________
Thank you for a wonderful day at Beverley races yesterday.
And what a day it was. Watching Destinys Dream win the race was unbelievable, almost surreal really. I guess everybody dreams about seeing their horse win, but when it actually happened I kept on thinking "I am going to wake up anytime soon."
All of us started celebrating about half a furlong out because we knew nothing was going to catch her, and it was all made possible thanks to you, Ann and Royston.
Receiving the prize and celebrating with a glass of champagne whilst watching the re-run of the race was fantastic.
As a seasoned racegoer I have been to plenty of race meetings but none of them really compared to this one.
Hopefully there will be many more days like this for Destiny Racing Club's members.
Thanks again
Klaudia S - Leeds

Red Letter Day For Destiny!!
Red was the preferred colour of Destinys Dream winning trainer.
'Red Hot' was the form showed by horse, jockey and trainer.
Red letter was the day had by all the owners for the day.
Red was the colour of the bookie paying Phil.
Black is now the colour of my next bank statement.
Well done all at Destiny.
Paul J - Catterick

Thank you for a great day yesterday at Beverley, good weather, good company and Destinys Deam winning - a perfect day. Here's to more great days and winners.

I would just like to express my heartfelt thanks to the team at Destiny Racing Club. I was lucky enough to win the "Owner For The Day" competition in conjunction with the Racing Post and from the outset I was impressed with both the professionalism and the personal nature of Destiny Racing. I was kept informed of every step in the lead up to my owner's day and the day itself was absolutely fantastic.
I attended with my wife and two young children and were treated to an exceptional day - an owners badge each, entrance to previously inaccessible areas and an experience it will take a long time to better.
We were met by Andy who had dealt with with the competition win from the first phone call and throughout he appeared down to earth, Knowledgeable and friendly - as were the other members of Destiny Racing Club who we met in the bar "before the off".
The experience of meeting the jockey Royston Ffrench in the parade ring prior to the race was brilliant, and although my chosen horse Destinys Dream did not win I can honestly say it did nothing to detract from the day's experience.
Well done Destiny Racing Club - an experience second to none. I shall certainly be renewing my membership when it expires (and keeping my fingures crossed that I will be an owner again in the future!)
Paul S - Dudley
__________________________________________________________
Thank you for our day as owners of Top Jaro at Hamilton. It was a fantastic day enjoying drinks and food in the owners bar and experiencing the feeling of being real owners in the parade ring.
The whole experience was one which we will never forget and we would like to thank you very much for the chance of a lifetime. We wish you continued success and we will definitely be registering to be owners again in the future.
All the best,
Neil A - Ripon

I would like to say what a fantastic time I had as an owner of Destinys Dream at Beverley - I am now hooked and will definitely be renewing my membership for years to come.
It was so exciting cheering on 'my' horse as she made up ground on the leader in the final furlong. As a regular racegoer I have never had the chance to be an owner, it was an amazing feeling.
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and it was the icing on the cake when she came home second at 50/1.
Jill G - Wakefield
_____________________________________________________________
What a day at Beverley!! I went with very low expectations because of Destinys Dream's dreadful draw in stall two even though I thought she had a bit of a chance. Because I was the owner for the day I decided not to back her (except for the £2 at 98/1 on Betfair !) but she ran a cracker to finish second.
Surely it will only be a matter of time before she opens her account and I hope whoever is lucky enough to own her for the day has as much fun as I did.
Nick R - Goole
____________________________________________________________
We were delighted to receive parade ring badges to see Destinys Dream run at Beverley. And what a fantastic experience it was, from the moment we went for a drink in the owners and trainers bar, to meeting Ann Duffield and Royston Ffrench in the parade ring and then cheering Destinys Dream as she stormed through to second place at 50/1. We all celebrated with a drink afterwards and it was such a terrific buzz to be part of it.
We are so glad we joined the club, everyone is so very friendly and we would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in racing.
Steve H & Rachel K - Beverley
______________________________________________________________
May we take this opportunity to thank you for a terrific day at Beverley Races. It was very professional and conducted in a relaxed atmosphere.
It was a shame Destinys Dream didn't win but here's to next time. One final note - Both myself and my wife can recommend Destiny Racing Club to anyone who may be thinking of joining.
David & Caroline R - Wigan
______________________________________________________________
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for yet another excellent day out, this time at Redcar races. The hospitality was once again very friendly and it was great to meet up with other members and their guests.
I was absolutely over the moon to be selected as an owner for the day of Top Jaro. The buzz and thrill of being an owner is something you can only dream of but Destiny Racing Club turns dreams into reality.
My wife was running around with excitement taking several photographs. The added bonus was that Top Jaro finished third so we entered the winners enclosure which put me on cloud nine (I still have not come back down to earth yet!)
Thanks again for a fabulous day.
Steve M - Stockton-on-Tees

I would like to thank you for a truely memorable day at Redcar Races. To experience the parade ring as an owner of Top Jaro was fantastic, but to then enter the winners enclosure was simply amazing - something I would never have had the opportunity to do unless I had joined Destiny Racing.
Laura G - Easingwold
_____________________________________________________________
Ruth and I would like to thank you for your hospitality at Redcar Races when I was an owner of Destinys Dream. We both felt so included in everything on the day and it was so enjoyable.
Sorry I could not lead in the winner - one day soon I hope.
Good Luck
Wendy R - Bedale
____________________________________________________________
I got back off holiday to read a nice email to tell me I was an owner for the day with Destinys Dream at Redcar, even though I was unable to be there with you. Sorry she did not win but feel sure she will get there one day, hopefully next time when maybe I could be there as an owner to cheer her on.
It is a pleasure to be a member of Destiny. You guys make it so special.
Mel W - Derby

I would like to thank you for an amazing day out as an owner of Mill Creek at Thirsk. To meet Bryan Smart and Royston Ffrench in the parade ring was fantastic and something that I could only have dreamed of before joining the club. Even though she did not win we stayed to see the clubs other runner on the day Whinhill House win the last race at 6/1 (which was great as you told us to back him). That was truely amazing to watch and to join in the celebrations afterwards in the owners and trainers bar was an added bonus.
Worth the joining fee for one day!!
Paul L - Ripon
______________________________________________________________
Just a note to say thanks for the day at Catterick. It was great to meet the other enthusiasts and when Whinhill House was up in the van coming into the final furlong we all enjoyed trying to shout him home. He ran a blinder considering he was out of the handicap, carrying 9lb's over and the going was a little soft. I've no doubt he will win again carrying Destiny Racing's colours and look forward to the next time I can be an owner for the day!
Thanks again,
Steve B - Middlesbrough
______________________________________________________________
I would like to thank you for another great day out when Top Jaro ran at Redcar - didn't he run a good race first time with David Barker as his new trainer!
We are getting very used to being entertained by Destiny and must say that you have it "just right". This is exactly what racing is all about for those of us who love it but are unable to buy a horse out-right.
Keep up the good work - You are really appreciated by the members.
All the best
Jill H - Leyburn
____________________________________________________________
Thank you for a lovely time at Beverley. It was a great day and it was fantastic seeing Destinys Dream Finish 2nd. We both feel it was worth the joining fee alone just for this one day out, even though we were not the owners for the day.
Chris & Alan H - Filey
_____________________________________________________________
As a regular racegoer and punter for 35 years I've always wanted to own a racehorse but never won enough to buy one !!
What a fortnight I've just had and all thanks to the team at Destiny racing. Having joined on the 23rd of July with two of my racing pals, I was at Thirsk on the 27th to witness the clubs first ever winner, Whinhill House. The celebrations lasted well into the night and I began to realise what a wise decision I had made by joining this friendly club.
We attended the hospitality day at Redcar on Saturday the 11th August and was delighted to be drawn as one of the three co-owners of the latest club horse 'Top Jaro'. He ran a blinding race to finish third, rewarding us with £1,300. Needless to say yet more celebrations followed and another brilliant afternoon was had by all. The whole day was a truly memorable occasion, great fun, good company and superbly organised by the whole Destiny team. Thank you.
Keep up the good work, you are indeed making dreams come true for so many racing enthusiasts.
Peter I - Richmond
_____________________________________________________________
Thanks for a great day out as an owner at Redcar. It is something that I will remember for a long time to come. I never believed that I would ever have the chance to be a true racehorse owner and I was made to feel so welcome by everyone from Destiny and by trainer David Barker. Truely amazing!!
John L - Ashington
______________________________________________________________
I would like to thank everyone at Destiny for an amazing experience as one of the lucky owners of Whinhill House at Redcar. It was worth the entire membership fee for just this one day!! I would recommend this club to anyone who has an interest in racing. I will have no hesitation in renewing my membership next year and for many more years to come!!
Oliver B - Garforth
_______________________________________________________________
Just a note to say how much I and my friends enjoyed the day at Redcar when I was owner for the day of Destinys Dream. Although the horse ran a strange race as she did not run on at the end, I really enjoyed meeting Anne and George Duffield and look forward to the next time I can be "Owner For The Day"
Alison F - Middlesbrough
______________________________________________________________
Wow!!! What a magical 7 days experience. Joined Destiny Racing Club on Saturday 21st July. Entered to become the 'Owner For A Day' competition, I was lucky enough to win as joint owner of Whinhill House the following Friday 27th July at Thirsk.
My co-owner Andrew and I shared the prize money of nearly £4,000. Who could have dreamed a better start?
Destiny Racing Club is definitely 'The One' to be in.....
The magic's still there!!
Alan R - Richmond
_______________________________________________________________
Great afternoon, always nice to go to the races with great anticipation and it gets even better when you actually have an interest in a horse. Meeting the trainer and jockey before and after the race listening to their plans was fantastic. Good company, not bad weather for the summer and a result 4th, well done Whinhill House and Destiny!!
Jill H - Leyburn
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you for another memorable day as joint owner of Mill Creek. This club just gets better and better, and to any members who have not tried the phone in to win a horse for a day, get phoning!! This is the second time I have won in three months. You have to be in it to win it!!
Although Mill Creek disappointed my heartfelt congratulations to the owners of Whinhill House who ran a cracker of a race to land the spoils as Destiny's first winner and I believe the first of many. The way I was jumping up and down with excitement anyone would think I was the lucky owner, but it was just great to be there when the club had its first win.
A great day out and once again well done to the lads from Destiny who really inspire their members by their total professionalism as the No 1 racing club.
John D - Kelso
________________________________________________________________________________________________
To have owned a race horse for the day was fantastic, but to end up owning the same horse 3 weeks later and to go on and win is quite frankly unbelievable!!!!
When Whinhill House went past the winning post it was the most exhilerating experience. I would just like to thank the club for providing me with this once in a lifetime experience!!!
Andrew D - Harrogate

Hi everyone at Destiny Racing Club. I would like to say well done on getting our first winner. Lets hope there are many more to come.
Mel W - Derby

I can only describe my experience as absolutely magic. I was very impressed by Royston Ffrench telling us he would follow the favourite and ride off him-which is exactly what happened. Both Royston and trainer Ann Duffield made me feel very comfortable in the parade ring.
I brought my son in law with me on the day, who could not speak highly enough of the representetives from Destiny who he said made him feel like he had been a member of the club for years. He said that if he had not just moved house he would have no hesitation in joining-in fact he would have joined on the day! He has said as soon as he can he will be joining.
I had such a fantastic day I have told all my friends and family. I consider myself to be a very lucky man!!

On the 5th July I was fortunate enough to become an owner of Whinhill House for the day. I would like to thank the club for providing me with the most memorable day, it truly was a dream come true.
I was made to feel most welcome by all! Although Whinhill House did not win, he ran a cracking race and I had my heart in my mouth with a furlong to go!
Andrew D - Harrogate

I would like to thank you for being allowed to represent the club and own Chief Powderface at Catterick.
Myself and my wife thought that trainer Jedd O'Keefe and jockey Paul Mulrennan were first class with their honesty about The Chief. Jedd is a pure born gentleman. We were lucky enough to get to speak to four Destiny trainers on the day who all made time to talk to us.
Overall it was the perfect day as we were made to feel so welcome by all of you from Destiny Racing Club. It was quite comfortably the best day at the races we have ever had.
Bernard C - Bishop Auckland

I just wanted to tell you of the fantastic time that my partner and I had at Haydock races when Chief Powderface ran.
On Friday night I had a phone call to tell me that I had won to be the owner for the day, I just couldn't believe it. When we got to Haydock we booked in to a hotel to make a weekend of it. I have never been into the parade ring before or into the owners and trainers bar.
Even though Chief Powderface did not win you made the day very special for us. I willtry to win another competition very soon

"Hello to all involved with Destiny Racing Club. I would like to thank you for the great opportunity of being one of the two racehorse owners for the day on Sunday 9th June at Musselburgh with Whinhill House trained by David Barker.
We went in to the parade ring and discussed tactics with David Barker and Pat Cosgrave the jockey which gave us the real excitement of being owners for the day. We also had our pictures taken with the trainer and jockey and were made to feel important by the representatives from Destiny Racing.
I rang in ten times to enter the competition to be an owner and even though the horse did not win it was a fantastic day out. I will phone again in the hope of again being an owner for a day.
Thank you again"

"I just wanted to say thank you for the really enjoyable day at Redcar Races. We were made to feel like real owners and the Trainer and Jockey treated us just the same. A memorable experience, looking forward to the next time.
Best wishes"

"Thank you for a fantastic day out at Ripon races. The talk by George Duffield and Jack Berry was very interesting. To hear what they thought ahead of the days racing and which horses would win each race was great. The weather was beautiful with cracking hospitality, food and raffle prizes after every race (even though I did not win).
All in all a great day at the races.
Thanks a million"

"Just a note to say thank you to yourselves, and to Jedd O’Keeffe and his staff for the excellent stable visit. It was great to see ‘The Chief’.
It was great to see Jedd parade the horses for us, and his comments on each horse were very informative and interesting".

"I just wanted to contact you to say thank you for organising the stable visit on Sunday. We really enjoyed it and thought it was an excellent day. Jedd was absolutely top class although I wished I’d listened to his advice and put a few quid on his runner at Thirsk last night!
I hope to make the next visit and hopefully have been an ‘owner for the day’ before then too!
Cheers"

Many Thanks"

"Just like to say what a great day we had at Redcar as co-owners of Destinys Dream.
We really enjoyed being part of a great team and can recommend the racing club to anyone.
Bryan Smart is quite a character and made time to chat to us. We also made friends with Lindsay and Carol the other co-owners and spent a most enjoyable afternoon with them. Two nice winners rounded off a fab day!!
Once again guys thank you for making our day so special. It was well worth the trip down from Scotland".
