David Easterby & Francesca Cumani catch up with our latest horse, Girl Friday!

Girl Friday is an Old Gold Racing syndicate with a difference: owners will own a share alongside Francesca Cumani as she becomes a National Hunt racehorse owner (again)! For Francesca, this isn’t a leap into the complete unknown. She has long been recognised as a leading authority on the flat, but her involvement with Old Gold Racing has brought her closer to the world of jumps. And she’s already felt it first-hand — schooling over the Grand National practice fences in Lambourn with Richard Johnson, where the thrill of National Hunt racing truly bit. Owners can expect exclusive content featuring Mick, David and Francesca, stable visits with Francesca, and race days when Girl Friday runs! Girl Friday made the perfect start to her career when winning her point-to-point at Curraghmore in October, a performance made all the more notable given she was the only debutante in the line-up. Mick Easterby has been training racehorses for over 60 years. He began working for his uncle Walter before helping his brother Peter establish a yard at Great Habton, eventually moving to a rented farm at Sheriff Hutton in 1955. His career has since gone from strength to strength, with thousands of winners and almost 900 individual winning racehorses passing through his hands. Among his best-known successes are classic-winning filly Mrs McArdy (1000 Guineas), Wiganthorpe (Gimcrack Stakes), and Peterhof (Triumph Hurdle). Now Britain’s oldest active racehorse trainer and longest-serving licence holder, Mick is admired for his straight-talking, down-to-earth Yorkshire character. He has also raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities, most notably through the annual Sheriff Hutton point-to-point in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. In 2021, his son David, formerly a successful amateur jockey, joined the licence, and together they have already notched up more than 200 winners.
