We presented our Annual Yearling Parade at the Riverside Inglis complex, Warwick Farm on Sunday and the day was very enjoyable for the large group who attended. We were fortunate to have beautiful autumn sunshine, together with some great people with whom we work, including our trainer Chris Waller following on from his sensational 3 […]

SEAWAY (NZ) resumed with a win at Rosehill Gardens on 2nd February and with a “maintenance trial” in between, the son of Ocean Park (NZ) recorded his second win from as many race starts this preparation on Saturday, again at Rosehill. The soft 7 track was not a concern as SEAWAY (NZ) with Kerrin McEvoy […]

John Berry celebrates the career of Widden Stud stallion Sebring, who died on Saturday aged 13. The son of More Than Ready was an exceptional racehorse and a proven outcross sire, and his loss will be felt widely throughout the industry. When it was announced late last year that More Than Ready’s long-standing and hugely […]

For a horse whose racing career spanned just six race starts over four fabulous months, Sebring’s impact was extraordinary whether it be for his first-time owners, his young jockey and eventually the staff at the stud farm he stood at as a successful stallion. When Widden Stud boss Antony Thompson used the term “life-changing” to […]

Our purple and white stars were certainly well represented on Saturday with 3 year old filly APERITIF running 3rd and securing that all important black type in the Group 3 MRC Kevin Hayes Stakes at Caulfield whilst 3 year old Dundeel colt DEALMAKER ran on strongly to the line to snatch 2nd in the Group […]

Inglis Millennium should count as “Saturday level” prizemoney when it comes for qualifying for the G1 Golden Slipper. If the Star Thoroughbreds colt Accession (Brazen Beau) overcomes a wide draw in Saturday’s sales-restricted feature at Warwick Farm he will have tallied more […]

KASHIWA relished his first trip around Moonee Valley on Friday night and broke through for his maiden win compliments of an exceptional ride by Damien Oliver. The 3 year old son of Fighting Sun jumped only fairly and as a result he was detached from the field during the very early stages of the 1,200 […]

20 years ago very few people had heard the name Chis Waller. In 1998 the young Kiwi lad from Foxton took a more on a journey to success at Wyong; the rest. as they say, is history. These days, Chris Waller is best known as the trainer of incredible mare Winx, whose career he has […]

After a dominant win in the 2 year old race at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, our exciting colt ACCESSION looks to be a leading contender for the $2 million Inglis Millennium on 9th February at Warwick Farm. Only 6 weeks after that, the Golden Slipper looms as a likely target for the talented son of […]
