October 2024

Good afternoon, owners and friends,

Well racing is just starting to hot up for both the carnival and our stable, and what an exciting time it is. With more prizemoney and Group races being up for grabs we hope to be right in the mix. 

Further to this its now the breeding season and with our recently retired Mares, we have hand picked the sires for them to go to, hours of research has been required to hopefully produce our horses for the future at affordable prices.

Lady Brulee - Wild Ruler

Honey Blossom - In the Congo

Mrs Bigglesworth - Artorius

Finally Bong Bong (Friday 22nd November) has pretty much reached capacity and if you would like to join us please reach out ASAP so not to be disappointed. 

Brief Horse Updates: Further to regular, individual owner WhatsApp messages.

Flying Crazy Inglis 6yo Gelding  trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 33-5:1:5   Prizemoney incl. Bonus: $597,340

Crazy has done fantastic in his spell and appears to be the finished product. This week he is jumping out at home on Tuesday and all going well will trial this Friday at Rosehill. Finally we have got to the bottom of him and a campaign over 1100 - 1400m will be his target range.

Lady Brulee, MM 5yo Filly -  trained by Jake Hull - Gosford - Retire to be a Broodmare

Lady B has unfortunately decided she doesnt really want to race anymore (a bit similar to Ruby) and as we have always said we do whats right for the horse. Hence she is now in foal to Artorious. An independent valuation was performed and she came in at $30k being a Zoustar mare. The owners in her have been the most patient and it is very dissapointing that Lady B could not repay their loyalty in a financial sense. However she took us on one hell of a journey and we look forward to following her progress as a mum to be. Thanks also must go to Jake for getting her in the best condition she could be. A sad day but the right decisions have been made.

Altair I AM - MM 4yo Gelding  trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 2-0:0:0  Prizemoney: $4,750

Altair has had a recent trial but unfortunately spiked a temperature last Saturday which has delayed his return to the track. The blood results are due back shortly and this will determine his immediate future race selection. He was far more sprightly at the track this morning, so hopefully only a 24hr thing. This was poor timing as he is looking an absolute picture and working well at home.

Allapercanto (Swifty)  - Inglis 4yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill- Summary: 10-3:2:2    Prizemoney: $104,900   

Swifty has returned from her spell in great order, she did take a bit more time to let down (relax) in the paddock but an extra couple of weeks gave her the chance to make up for it. Set to jumpout at home tomorrow and all going well to the trials on Friday at Rosehill.

Lady Savannah - MM 3yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 2-0:0:0    Prizemoney: $5,850

Lady Sav has now had 2 races, drawn the outside barrier in both, however made a very good account of herself last Saturday at Kembla Grange (4th), only a lack of luck beat her on this occasion. Shes just headed off to Wild Oaks (Hawkes pre training location) for a week on the water walker and a bit of relaxation after a tough run. All going to plan she'll be back racing in 3 weeks. A bright prospect.

Adeel It's a Steal (Dundeel x Stroak) - 3yo gelding Trained by Team Hawkes - Unraced Adeel has only 1 week of pre training to go before heading back to Team Hawkes. This brute of a boy has done exceptionally well in his spell and we look forward to his return.

Thanks again to our devoted and attentive team of trainers and pre trainers (Farm) that 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 direct and I will organise tickets for you (subject to availability). It's the more the merrier.

Regards,

Bish

Director
