Back to back wins for SEAWAY (NZ) at Rosehill Gardens
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.

Vale Sebring, ‘the horse of a lifetime’
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.

Sebring’s life-changing impact
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.

Star Thoroughbreds syndicator Denise Martin has suggested that counting restricted races like the $2million L. 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 and SEAWAY (NZ) start February off on a winning note
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 […]
