Good afternoon owners and friends,
I trust this update finds you well
Well as you will see many horses are about to endeavour on their next campaigns and the excitement is definitely building. With Spring just around the corner, I am really pleased to say that our horses are looking exceptionally well and ready to roll!! In order to look the part when you horse (s) or others are racing, Equicom has linked up with FanFave to enable simple purchase of merchandise (all cost price no Markups). Please follow the link and see what takes your fancy
Note: I still have stubby holders available, so please just ask FOC..
Those who have not received their complimentary ties and Scarfs (1 per owner) these should be with me soon and I will distribute accordingly when I see you, It's been quite an ordeal as the initial supplier has stopped producing.
Personalised merchandise for the real horse racing fan. Showcasing Trainers, Syndications, Jockeys & Racing Clubs.
Important date for your diaries, remember to invite your friends and families to all events:
Thursday 23rd (optional) and Friday 24th November, Bong Bong picnic races (Fri) and wine tour / golf day (Thu) - Equicom is proud to sponsor a race and entertain with the assistance of celebrity speakers, promoting women in sport and business. Specifics to be confirmed in the coming weeks but accommodation is a limited supply, so get in quick
Final details are in motion and run sheet to be confirmed soon. Costs to be subsidised by Equicom but there will still be a charge.

James has been monitoring him closely after a much-improved 4th at the Gold Coast before a well-deserved spell. Very much under notice he will need to perform well in his upcoming preparation and due to start pre training in 2 weeks.

Allapercanto (Swifty) - Inglis 2yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill
She had her first trial back after a spell and needed just a bit more time so she went off to the water walker for low impact training. She is due back into the stables tomorrow Again likely trial on 11th August.
Lady Savannah - MM 1yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill
We were hoping that she would be in pre training now but a sudden growth spurt has delayed her come back for a likely couple of weeks. Believe me this is a good thing, growing fast and strong.
Mrs Bigglesworth 3yo filly Trained by Jake Hull (small Equicom ownership group)
Mrs B will be heading to Bathurst or Tamworth in her final race of her successful campaign next week
Thanks again to our devoted and attentive team of trainers and pre-trainers (Farm) who give our horses every opportunity to succeed.
Just a quick reminder that if you see a horse racing that you are not in the ownership of and would like to come out and support, please contact me directly and I will organise tickets for you (subject to availability). It's the more the merrier. Don't forget your scarves and ties at Metro race meetings !!
