ON THE TRACK

I was thrilled with Makeadane’s big win at Ipswich on Wednesday but since then we have had three second placings with Annaman being desperately unlucky after being given the worst ride I can remember on one of our horses at Doomben last Saturday. The Wasp and Husson Boots ran nice races and should be able to greet the judge in the ‘right’ position in the coming weeks.

We have a really big couple of weeks ahead starting with Stimuli who is resuming today at Port Macquarie. Tomorrow sees Tegan Harrison being given the opportunity to redeem herself on Annaman.

Also we have Shining Brooke and Isthmian running at Port Macquarie. On Wednesday Bella Venus and Tough Vic run at Launceston with Makeadane heading to Doomben.On Caulfield Cup Day we have Savoureux running in the Listed Nivison Stakes at Royal Randwick,

Flying Jess at Caulfield and More Than A Rose resuming. We will have other runners as well but we need to sort through them.

We have had a heap of horses competing in barrier trials but to be honest our horses preparations have been seriously curtailed due to the bad weather we have experienced right across Southern Australia during the past few weeks.

STABLE VISITS

The visit to Darren Weir’s Ballarat Stable this Sunday will be a real eye opener for many of our clients. Darren has set a standard that has rarely been closely reached by any other trainer in Australian racing history and to have the opportunity to spend time with him on his ‘home patch’ is a rare opportunity for those lucky enough to attend.

We are having a Sausage Sizzle at John Thompson’s Randwick Stable on 16 October commencing at 11am.We will also be visiting Kris Lees Ellalong Farm with this visit also including Christmas drinks for our NSW clients. I’ll send through the details once we have a firm date.

There isn’t much more to report this week. Until next week, good punting!!!
