Beep Beep Burrow primed for Doncaster debut

Beep Beep Burrow will make his debut in front of his namesake Rob Burrow at Doncaster on Saturday.

The six-year-old, who is trained by Jedd O’Keeffe, was due to run for the first time at Doncaster on January 10 but was ruled out by a minor injury.

His first racecourse appearance will now come at the same track as he contests the Good Luck Beep Beep Burrow Open National Hunt Flat Race.

The Malinas gelding will be cheered on by Burrow and his family, who will also benefit partly from funds raised by the horse via the Rob Burrow 7 Discretionary Trust, which helps the family meet the costs of living with Motor Neurone Disease.

The remaining funds raised by the partnership who own the horse, The Good Racing Company, will go to the MND Association.

Lindsey Burrow, wife of Rob, said: “Rob and I are really grateful that The Good Racing Company will be donating to Rob’s Trust alongside the MND Association. It will make a real difference to the daily life of our family.

“Rob’s passion for racing grows daily. He’s converted the entire family now and we all enjoy a day out at the races. We are all behind Beep Beep Burrow and can’t wait to watch him race.”

Beep Beep Burrow all set for Doncaster debut

Beep Beep Burrow will make his track debut at Doncaster on Tuesday for his namesake, former rugby league star Rob Burrow.

The gelding, who is trained by Jedd O’Keeffe, is owned by the Good Racing Company Ltd and will be campaigned to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, a condition Burrow was diagnosed with in 2019.

Burrow earned himself the nickname ‘Beep Beep Burrow’ during his time at Leeds Rhinos and it has been transferred to the horse, who will continue the work started by former O’Keeffe inmate Burrow Seven – retired due to injury in November after a handful of promising runs.

Beep Beep Burrow, by Malinas and out of Ballygambon Girl, will contest the Good Luck “Beep Beep Burrow” Open Maiden National Hunt Flat Race on Town Moor as Burrow and his family head to South Yorkshire to cheer him on.

“Beep Beep Burrow is such an exciting horse and we’re all hoping he lives up to his name,” said Burrow.

“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.”
