Penny Perfect
Oct 16, 2019We didn't think that we would see Penny race again let alone be able to hold aloft another country cup. Especially the particular cup of Gunbower for a second time in 3 years. When Penny To Sell was entered in the Inglis sales it was a real feeling of sorrow to see her go ...

Carlingford Class
Jul 31, 2019Carlingford continues to surprise us but we should know to expect this tough classy bloke to do what we don't expect. His Bendigo win, when we thought he'd probably need the run, showed true grit and determination. Jess rode him to perfection and exactly as ...

RIVER LEE TAKES THE NEXT STEP WITH CLASS
Aug 25, 2018It Is always testing for a horse to progress from a maiden class win to getting the BM64 out of the way. Many horses don’t get there and battle away at BM58 class for their entire career. Yesterday at Bendigo, this titanium tough mare, did exactly this in fairly dominant ...
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Aug 19, 2018By all the usual metrics All About Alice should never have seen a racetrack. A tiny girl, she has a deformed hoof that has resulted in her developing such an awkward gait that we worry she’ll be declared lame every time she steps out of her stall. What she has got in spades ...

Ardra’s Stormy Picket Fence
Apr 24, 2018Ardra Storm is a grumpy mare and she created a storm of controversy when winning at Ararat in February. Some keyboard warriors felt she should never be allowed to race again for her antics on that day. We say it was out of character for her and Robbo did a magnificent job to ...
