January 2023

2022 proved to be a very interesting year with markets on the move and prizemoney getting ever higher all on the back of the Covid hangover. Go figure 

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Loyal owners that stood by their horses through thick and thin. Especially to Lady Brulee owners that were given a real scare with a horrendous reaction to medication. Each owner supported her and stood by her in her time of need 

• Owners' brilliant attendance at the several open days at the stables and farm, as well as race days 

• First Metro win for Ruby at Canterbury 

• 3 listed races for Flying Crazy in 3 different States/Territories and his loyal supporters (party animals) 

It would be amiss of me not to thank the 3rd parties that make it all come together, Trainers, Breaker/Spellers, and VETS etc. Without the continuous focus on our horses, we would be lost amongst the 1000's of horses out there and not being able to reach their full potential.

I thoroughly love the role that i have and look forward to maintaining and developing further to best service the owners to the highest level. Not every horse will be a champion but if you can get integrity, honesty and truthful communication every chance will be given to succeed.

Now, nearly 4 years in operation we have finally got to our 8 horses under syndication (methodical selection process) and as a result the admin fees will remain at $5 per week for the foreseeable future, as they have been since day 1.

 This has only been made possible by owner's support in promoting from within (no advertising costs etc) to their family and friends, hence allowing me to offer our final addition, Snitzel filly (purchased last week at MM) without any commission (purely cost price). Further details to follow.

2022 Horses in review:

Princess Zeddy:

3 races (1 placing) before being sold (March) to a country stable. Currently spelling but under the good care of Fleur Blanch at Grafton.

Career with us 15: 1 win, 3 placings.

Casan Geal: 

Also, before being sold (Feb) to a country stable his career with us: 4 races (1 win, 1 4th).Currently spelling but under the good care of Stephen Jones at Scone.

Both horses were given every opportunity however not up to provincial or city class, so much better suited for everyone that they are where they are now. Thus, giving owners the opportunity to look at other options moving forward.

Ruby Kisses: 

10 races this year, culminating in a metropolitan win at Canterbury and backing it up with 4 other placings (3 at Canterbury and 1 at Hawkesbury). In addition, gained more prizemoney from the MM women's bonus.

Overall career: 21 starts 3: 4: 3 Total Prizemoney $361,731

Currently in training and possibly trial on 29th Jan at Rosehill.

Flying Crazy:

12 races this year, 4 wins (3 listed, Canberra Guineas, Daybreak Lover and Luskin Star) and backed it up with a 3rd in Goulburn Cup and 4th in Group 3.

Overall career: 16 starts 5: 0: 3 Total Prizemoney $352,215

Currently in training and set to trial in approx. 3 weeks.

Paballo:

Had 2 educational starts at Hawkesbury in 2022 and back racing now. Looking forward to him showing us what we know he is capable of.

The remainder of the stable (unraced):
