Brief Horse Updates: Further to regular, individual owner WhatsApp messages.
Ruby Kisses MM 4yo filly trained by Gerald and Stirling, Rosehill
Ruby is nominating for Rosehill next Wednesday in a 1300m, Fillies and Mares race. She has shown her usual tenacity in this preparation with mid-week metro placings in her last 2 starts. After this next race we will review further the plan for her to attempt to race in the MM Qld carnival in the new "Syndicate" race for horses with over 20 registered owners. Good luck owners.
Crazy Russian, Inglis 3yo Colt ️trained by Gerald and Stirling, Rosehill
This boy can't seem to win a trick at the moment, on the cusp of making a trial in the coming weeks he has spiked a temperature the last 2 days. The team are monitoring him closely and a decision imminent as to whether he needs a brief rest or can persevere within the stables. Hes a horse with untapped ability so far and every precaution will be taken to ensure longevity in his career.
Flying Crazy Inglis 4yo gelding trained by Gerald and Stirling, Rosehill
The big boy has arrived at the Gold Coast in readiness for his attempt at taking out the "Weetwood" listed race at Toowoomba this Saturday. Brad Stewart has been booked for the ride who rode him in a previous win in Qld in the "Day Break Lover" at Eagle farm.
Following his previous successful preparation his target race is the Golden Eagle and the team believe this is the best first up race for him given the inclement weather around NSW again.....
Again Good luck to owners and his army of supporters
Lady Brulee, MM 3yo filly - trained by Lee and Cherie Curtis - Rosehill
Well this little lady has given us all a scare over the past 2 weeks... Team Curtis identified that she had an issue with her throat after picking up a cough coming off the track. After a scope that same morning she was identified as having Epiglottis Entrapment and an ulcer. Treatment was immediately administered and sent back to the farm for recovery (no surgery required). Within 12 hours she developed a Severe case of diarrhoea, resulting in extreme dehydration. Will Forrester immediately on VETS advice put her in his float and too her to the REC medical hospital. From there she was put on a drip and monitored 24 hrs, it was touch and go for a while..... (full report attached for your perusal).
Fortunately I am pleased to advise that she is now back at the farm and making progress. Her body and mannerisms will determine as to when she will be right to train again. Thank you to ALL the owners that were supportive and caring during this challenging time. Plus the quick actions of both Team Curtis and Will Forrester as without these attentive actions it could easily have been a different story.
Altair I AM - MM 2yo Colt trained by Gerald and Stirling, Rosehill
Our youngest member of the team has been exceeding expectations in this his first experience at the Rosehill stables. As with all 2yo it is a day by day proposition but so far he is meeting the challenges and learning daily. His recent gallops have seen a great fluency to his action and a maturity beyond his years. Quite how far he will get in this preparation is yet to be seen but so far so good.
Paballo - 3yo Gelding - trained by Gerald and Stirling, Rosehill
Pabs, who I visited yesterday is looking good for a return to pre-training in approx. 3 weeks. He is furnishing well and maintaining a good level of maturity whilst benefitting from time in the paddock.
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
I am off on my journey to Toowoomba today so may be out of range for a while, however I will naturally keep you up to date with your horse during this time with the aid of the teams around us.
Have a great weekend and PH today.
