Charity horse Beep Beep Burrow to debut at Doncaster Racecourse

On Tuesday 10 January, The Good Racing Co‘s new fundraising horse, Beep Beep Burrow, will make his racing debut at Doncaster Races in front of his namesake Rob Burrow MBE and family. He races in the 3.30pm race named by SkyBet ‘Good Luck Beep Beep Burrow National Hunt Flat Race’.

The Good Racing Co has high hopes for Beep Beep Burrow, who is being trained by Jedd O’Keeffe at High Beck Lodge in Middleham.  It was following a visit to Jedd’s stables that Rob’s children and wider family named Beep Beep Burrow, which was his Road Runner-inspired nickname when he played for Leeds Rhinos. The five-year-old chestnut gelding – with four white socks – is set to carry on the legacy of Burrow Seven after he was sadly retired due to a repetitive injury.

Beep Beep Burrow is a worthy successor to Burrow Seven and will take over the fundraising efforts for both Rob and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

His sire is the hugely successful stallion Malinas and his dam is Ballygambon Girl. Malinas is by Lomitas (sire of Danedream) from the family of Monsun. Malinas, who stands at the famous Rathbarry Stud in Ireland began his stallion career in 2021 and has already bred multiple winning jumpers in the UK, Ireland and France including Mister Malarky, Medinas, Union Dues, Dark Raven, Malinda Girl and Mighty Thunder, winner of the Scottish Grand National.

Members of The Good Racing Co will be joining Rob at Doncaster Racecourse to cheer on Beep Beep Burrow in his inaugural race. 

Rob Burrow said: “Beep Beep Burrow is such an exciting horse and we’re all hoping he lives up to his name.  We’re very much looking forward to his debut in Doncaster where he’ll get his chance to show people just what he can do on the racecourse.”
