The Australia Day holiday saw Sydney metropolitan racing at Warwick Farm. Three year old gelding CADETSHIP a son of Merchant Navy, Coolmore’s Royal Ascot Diamond Jubilee winner, scored a very determined win right on the post in the 1,400 metres Benchmark 72 on the program yesterday. Aided by a gem of a ride from James McDonald, […]

Our purple and white stars have been racing in great form as of late and it continued yesterday at Ipswich as SIBYLLA saluted in the 1,710 metres event courtesy of a patient ride from Ryan Maloney. The 3 year old daughter of Divine Prophet jumped well from the inside draw and made the opposition work into the first turn as […]

INFINITIVE broke through for her maiden win at just her third career start yesterday when racing over 1,400 metres at Newcastle. The 3 year old daughter of Hellbent jumped well from the barriers to settle fifth one off the fence between horses where she travelled well for jockey Lee Magorrian. The race pressure built from the […]

With the primary focus initially on the Gold Coast for Magic Millions race day, it was exciting to have KALINO strike early at Rosehill on Saturday. With apprentice Dylan Gibbons in the saddle, KALINO settled near the tail of the field in the 1,200 metres benchmark 78 but just prior to the home corner, Dylan […]

While much focus is on the Gold Coast this week, it was wonderful to see our horses putting on a show at Warwick Farm with both of our runners first past the post. HOLLYWOOD NORTH jumped away fairly in the 1,400 metres event with Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle. The 4 year old son of […]

CENTRESTONE and James Orman reunited on Friday last week to make it back to back wins at Ipswich. The daughter of Hinchinbrook jumped well from the barriers and James elected to settle her midfield on the fence for the 1,710 metres distance. The mare travelled nicely through the early and middle stages behind a steady […]

OLENTIA announced her talent with a 3.8 lengths win in smart time when she raced at Doomben over 1,200 metres last start…and she confirmed that she may be special with another runaway win over the same distance yesterday but this time at Eagle Farm with the margin just under 5 lengths. The 3 year old […]

KALINO recorded his 4th career win on Christmas Eve when taking out the final race on the card at Royal Randwick in eye catching fashion. The gelding was first up this preparation over the 1,200 metres distance with James McDonald aboard. KALINO jumped well and was always travelling strongly throughout the early stages. Upon turning […]

Whilst it’s not necessarily easy for a horse to win on debut, in the case of 3 year old filly DEMIANA it was a relatively straight forward assignment. Having trialled twice a few months ago and then again recently, the filly arrived at Canterbury Park on Friday night and was ready to go. From barrier […]

We’re fortunate to be enjoying a “purple patch” at the moment in the lead up to Christmas and CENTRESTONE kept the train rolling at Ipswich yesterday with a win at her third start. The 4 year old daughter of Hinchinbrook had some early setbacks in her career and when she commenced racing in October, she […]
