It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to retire PRINCE OF ARRAN. He has taken me places I could never have dreamed of and I am delighted he was here to witness my first domestic Group winner. Happy retirement old boy.

@MehreenFaruqi Your lack of knowledge on horse racing is embarrassing. come to werribee tomorrow and I will personally introduce you to Prince of Arran. You will quickly realise that he is not abused, in pain, or suffering. Like every horse in my stable he is loved more than any household pet.

I am delighted to announce that I have bought Bedford House Stables from Luca and Sarah Cumani. Not only is it one of the most beautiful and perfectly positioned yards in Newmarket but it is also a home for life. Incredibly exciting times. Thank you to all who made this happen.

Dear Mr Carpenter, if you would kindly give PRINCE OF ARRAN a 0.5-1kg penalty for winning today’s Geelong Cup that would be hugely appreciated. Yours Sincerely Charlie Fellowes .Ps get in there you beauty!!!!!!! Amazing job Tash Eaton. We are back baby!.

Prince of Arran has come out of the Cup perfectly and trotted up sound this morning. Thank you so much for the many incredible messages we have received. I can’t explain how much it means. Australia you have been amazing. We have loved every minute. See you next year.

My first ever Group winner secures us a place in the #melbournecup. For a horse that has run on 4 continents this year, that is a remarkable result. Prince Of Arran you absolute legend. Let the party commence. .

I can’t really make up my mind how to feel about that race. Part of me can’t help but think what might have been, the other part thinks we have just run the best possible prep-race for the Melbourne Cup. All I do know is Prince of Arran is the most incredible horse.

I have the best job in the world, but on the rare occasion there is nothing I would rather do less. Sadly we lost Lord Halifax today @NewcastleRaces my thoughts are with his patient owners who deserved so much more, and Kassandra who rode and adored him. She will be heartbroken.

Delighted to announce that Jamie Kah has been booked to ride PRINCE OF ARRAN in both the Caulfield Cup and the Melbourne Cup. An extremely talented jockey who has had a wonderful year. Her riding style will suit Arran perfectly. He is due to land in Melbourne any minute now!.
Our columnist @FellowesRacing has confirmed to @rs_bloodstock that Group 1-winning jockey Jamie Kah will ride Prince Of Arran in the Melbourne Cup. More to follow .

I am a flat racing fan through and through but that race at Cheltenham was bloody brilliant. Froden was utterly outstanding and Bryony Frost is a wonderful breath of fresh air. Phenomenal ride and her love for the horse a brilliant advert for jumps racing.

@FairDinkumMate1 @MehreenFaruqi You are a moron. I have never ever killed a slow horse or a horse that stops winning. We re-home all of our retired racehorses. In fact I have two horses being retired this week that are going to wonderful life long homes. Why would you kill such amazing animals?.

Slight change of plan. Due to complications around a stalls rug Prince of Arran wears at the start, he will not be running in the Japan Cup. Instead he heads to Hong Kong for the Vase. Planning on flying my wife Vikki out to do the draw this year after my awful effort in 2018!!!.

Looks like we are off to Australia for the third year in a row. 3rd in 2018, 2nd in 2019, surely only one place for us to finish in 2020. thank you to everyone for making the dream possible in extraordinary circumstances this year.

Since moving yard on the 13th May we have had 54 runners and 12 winners at a strike rate of 22%. Safe to say the horses have approved of the yard move. Huge testament to my fantastic team for making the move so seamless.

All plans on hold for PRINCE OF ARRAN for the time being after a 2nd very slow start in a row. He owes us absolutely nothing and we will take our time before making any further decisions on his future. He is safe and well after his race and flies back to England on Monday.

What a week. There is no better place in the world to have winners than Royal Ascot and we have come away with 2. Well done to the Ayers family who own and bred Chiefofchiefs. This win was a huge team performance of the size you wouldn’t believe. You all know who you are. Thanks.

Wonderful news to wake up to this morning as PRINCE OF ARRAN draws barrier 8 in the Hong Kong Vase. Let’s hope 8 is as lucky for us here as it was in Australia a month ago. He galloped this morning and that will now be it before the big day. Very happy with his prep.

Gutted to have lost Michael Walker’s services on Prince Of Arran. They have been a great partnership over the last couple of years. Means I am looking for a jockey! Anyone want to ride the horse that’s placed in the last 2 Melbourne Cups. Also needed for the Caulfield Cup!.
@gobloodstockaus is delighted to announce that Michael Walker will ride DASHING WILLOUGHBY this Spring with the Caufield & Melbourne Cups in our sights. Sir Owen is excited to reignite the winning Go Bloodstock / Michael Walker partnership of PURE ELATION fame #MelbourneCup2020

Agonising!!!!!! Prince Of Arran gets caught close home in the Group 2 Herbert Power finishing 2nd, 3 lengths clear of the field. Great run first up in Australia but now where do we go?!? Sit tight for the MC and use the Lexus as a back up option again? Great to be back!!!!.

Phenomenal stuff from @kevinblake2011 Thank you for so eloquently sticking up for our amazing industry. Definitely worth a listen because this is what we are going to be up against more and more frequently.
Thanks for the kind words re this interview and to @PiersUncensored/@Roolockwood for having me. We are awful for squabbling amongst ourselves in this industry, but I'll you tell what, we have a breed, a sport and an industry that is worth uniting & fighting for. @StandUp4Racing

Prince Of Arran has been declared to run at Caulfield on Saturday. Worked really nicely this morning and seems to have thrived for his change of scenery. Michael Walker is back in the saddle and we have drawn stall 11 which should be fine. Delighted to be back down under!.

This report and subsequent conditions for getting a horse to run in the Melbourne Cup are a disaster for any European trainer dreaming of winning this great race. I get that changes had to be made but this is too far and basically makes it impossible for us to come down.
The Melbourne Cup is set to undergo its greatest transformation this spring.

Santiago out of the Melbourne Cup? Wow, that blows the race wide open. For me he ticked every box and was the obvious race favourite. Now you can make a case for so many horses. if only there was something running that had a good record in the race.

It’s been a long but remarkable year. Sadly it was not to be today as the wide draw made it impossible to win. Ran a massive race to finish where he did from that position. See you in Dubai! #princeofarran #HKIR #HKRacing.

Never a truer word said. Horseracing would not exist without owners. They put in the most and get back the least. The model is wrong and if it doesn’t change soon then horseracing in this country will fail.

Trying to comment on a race whilst watching everything go wrong after 2 yards is unbelievably difficult! Mind you can’t imagine it would be much easier if he had won!.
“That’s not where we want to be. We’re in a bad position now.”. Have you ever seen a trainer watch his horse race live? @FellowesRacing gave us an incredible insight this week. #TrainersLIVE

And that’s a wrap for Prince Of Arran in Europe this year. Great run to finish 3rd in the Group 3 September stakes. Should put him spot on for his trip to Australia. Enters quarantine on Thursday. Can’t wait to get back to Melbourne.

Why are we racing @Southwell_Races today. The racecourse might be fine but the rest of the country isn’t. It is too dangerous shipping horses around in this weather. Not fair on trainers, stables staff and most importantly the horses.

After 5 incredible years, today I send out my last two runners from St Gatien Cottage Stables. It has been a wonderful home, and moving there was the best decision I have made to date. We will all miss it a huge amount but can’t wait to start a new chapter.

I was so disgusted with @georgeoscott for gelding Charlie Fellowes that I am afraid I have exacted my revenge by castrating George Scott this morning. Like his name sake he had become a horny little bugger so I felt now was a good time to knock that on the head. @bridlepodcast.
