At the age of nine Quoteline Direct who has spent his whole racing life with us is now well and truly in to the veteran stage of his career. He arrived at Oakwood Stables in the spring of 2015 having been purchased at the Doncaster Breeze up Sales, and has raced on 68 occasions, and he is the winner of five races.
Quoteline Direct has had a four and a half months break since he last raced at Ripon in August, and will go in search of win number six on Thursday at Newcastle at 3.55.pm, in a 0-50 Classified Stakes over 10 furlongs, with Billy Garritty riding him for the third time. It was around this time last year that Quoteline Direct was showing his best recent form, which was on the all weather at Wolverhampton, when finishing in the frame on four occasions, his form then took a dip when running on the turf in the summer. He is now down to an attractive mark of just 44, but enthusiasm is slightly tempered by the fact that in three previous runs at Newcastle, Quoteline Direct has yet to place.
