Prime Thoroughbreds reflect on their success in the racing game

Tuesday 14 October 2014, 3:16pm

Prime Thoroughbreds have been successfully syndicating thoroughbreds since late 1997. In that time they have had great success syndicating Group, Listed and Metropolitan winners in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. 

Recently we had our 600th winner when The Deestructor scored the milestone win at Eagle Farm.

In the 2012/13 Season we had winners of 48 races and followed up that good result with 32 winners in the 2013/14 Season.  Already in the current season we have had 9 winners at a winning strike rate of 23.7% winners to runners.

This has included winners in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. Our team includes the very good three year olds Husson Eagle, Hijack Hussy, Savoureux, Raido, Rumeron, Sitkamose, Bella Venus and Makeadane as well as the exciting debut two year old winner Atalanta Miss which won the first two year old race of the season in South Australia.

We have some very exciting times ahead with 14 unraced two year olds and two unraced three year olds in our team of horses. 

Our four year old and older horses include the stakes or metropolitan performers Pitt Street, Awasita, Prime Shadow, Sanosuke, Terra Amata, Faith’n’Courage, Princess Royale, Hot To Trot, Beau Jez, The Deestructor, Hail Maher and Unique.

We are always proud that because we look after our horses when they are young we generally always have about 25% of our team being four years old and up.  In fact all 14 of our class of 2012, now four years old raced with 12 individual winners.   Our class of 2013 has seen nine of the 11 race with six individual winners to date.  I expect all 11 to win races barring the unforeseen.      

Prime Thoroughbreds horses are with Australians leading trainers including David Hayes, Mark Kavanagh and Tony McEvoy in Victoria and South Australia. Kris Lees, John Thompson and Tony McEvoy in NSW.  Tony Gollan and John Thompson in Queensland and in Tasmania we have the training partnership of Charlie Goggin and Leuella Meaburn. Each of these trainers has established themselves at the top of their profession nationally and in their particular states which means our horses couldn't be in better hands.

 Some of our better horses have included Hidden Wonder, Under Command, Unchain My Heart, Calming, Desk Top Lover, Too Many Reds, Unabated, Believe’n’Achieve, Zero Drama, Holding, Polish The Silver, Maha Chakri, Transparent Lass, Horrocks, Lord Monty, Captain Chaos, Greenmount Belle, Eramor, Huiskes and the list goes on.
