With James Orman riding, KUBRICK jumped away from the gates well but from the wide gate he came back to settle second last, about 7-8 lengths off a good speed. At the 600 metres mark, James […]

SPOKESMAN returns to the winners circle with blinkers and a good ride
The application of blinkers, a soft track and a good Larry Cassidy ride were collectively the winning combination for SPOKESMAN at Ipswich yesterday. The 4 year old son of Press Statement jumped well from the barriers in the 1,350 metres event and Larry settled him just beyond midfield as the leaders bowled along in front setting a genuine tempo. […]
A memorable day at Flemington as our new STAR emerges
It was an Oaks day meeting at Flemington to remember and whilst we did not have a runner in the main event, a Star 3 year old filly won the Desirable Stakes in such dominant fashion that she not only created a big impression, but she also announced herself as a rising star on the […]
A ‘Cup day winner – this one in Sydney
If ever there was a case of “first out first home” it was Star’s 3 year old filly ARRANMORE winning comfortably at Randwick yesterday, Melbourne Cup day.

After several “near misses” talented New Zealand bred mare ONLY WORDS (NZ) won in very eye catching fashion at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate eve over the same distance as that race.

On the second anniversary of his Bondi Stakes victory KUBRICK wins at Doomben
In a remarkable coincidence KUBRICK won at Doomben on Saturday exactly two years after winning the inaugural running of the $1 million Bondi Stakes at Randwick in the memorable “paint scraping rails hugging” Brenton Avdulla ride. He has been out of the winners circle all that time and whilst he’s been close to the mark more than […]

Our 3 year old Extreme Choice filly ESPIONA burst onto the racing scene with an impressive winning debut at Warwick Farm yesterday.

ESPIONA cruised up onto the heels of the leaders as […]

GABEIRA wins at Sandown with a top Brett Prebble ride
GABEIRA commenced this preparation with a dead heat win at Geelong but the 4 year old daughter of Deep Field made sure that victory would be solely hers when racing at Ladbrokes Park Hillside (Sandown) yesterday.
