Bermuda’s horses are becoming regular visitors to the winners’ enclosure after three victories on the trot.

Great Sound, Johnny Barnes and Horseshoe Bay have all experienced that winning feeling in the past month, prompting Simon Scupham, the BTR chairman, “to stop and smell the roses when the buds open like this”.

It was Great Sound, ridden by Frankie Dettori, who started the three-from-three sequence, winning the Berry Bros & Rudd Cellar Plan Handicap at Newbury Racecourse in Berkshire last month.

Great Sound has won two of his first four outings, having placed sixth in his most recent race at Haydock Park in Merseyside, with Scupham predicting big things from the son of Europe’s leading sire Galileo.

“He’s clearly a progressing colt,” said Scupham, a racing enthusiast who teamed up with Highclere, the leading horse syndicate management firm in Britain, to establish BTR in 2013. “John Gosden [Great Sound’s trainer] is just taking one small step at a time with him.

“From what we have seen, as he becomes more of a pro at this game, we have every reason to dream of a successful career for him — most likely over two miles or more where there are some wonderful cup races to compete for should he be good enough.”

Johnny Barnes ended his two-year winless streak by scorching clear of his rivals in the Grosvenor Sport Handicap at Goodwood in West Sussex the following weekend.

Johnny Barnes, also trained by Gosden, claimed his first win since landing a group three race at Deauville, France, in August 2015, picking up a very handy prize of £65,000 (about $80,000).

“Johnny Barnes had a cracking two and three-year-old career winning three times, coming second in a group one race, the highest grade of racing, and winning twice in group three,” Scupham said.

“Despite hardly ever running a bad race and always giving 100 per cent, he had not made the winners’ enclosure for almost two years to the day when he triumphed impressively at Goodwood. Next target, all being well, will be the Ayr Gold Cup [on Saturday], the richest race in Scotland and one of the richest handicaps in the UK, where he will likely start as one of the favourites.”

The most unlikely of the three winners was Horseshoe Bay who romped home in his first race since switching from flat racing to National Hunt.

Now trained by Dan Skelton, Horseshoe Bay won the Bet toteplace At betfred.com Maiden Hurdle at Worcester, his victory made all the impressive considering he had spent almost 800 days away from the track because of injury.

“Our first two horses, Johnny Barnes and Horseshoe Bay, now both five-year-olds, are a testament to what BTR is all about,” said Scupham, who also revealed that BTR had recently sold Castle Harbour “for a very decent price”.

He added: “We’re in it to win it, of course, but in it for the long haul when circumstances indicate that patience may well be a rewarding strategy.”

Previously trained by Sir Michael Stoute, Horseshoe Bay showed plenty of promise on the flat, shedding his maiden at Newmarket in Suffolk in May 2015, before suffering a career-threatening tendon injury.

“Instead of giving up the ghost we spent over a year trying to rehabilitate him because we knew he had the ability to warrant our patience, always knowing, though, that we were just a phone call away from getting bad news,” Scupham added,

“We have everything crossed that he keeps healthy as he could well have a big future ahead. As a five-year-old he is the perfect age to get started in the National Hunt game. Huge kudos to all our owners for being so patient and footing the bills for so long with this boy!”
