Monday 18th August 2008 update :
You will be able to follow our stable of horses on this page with regular updates on their progress.
Three of our horses have now earned over $100,000 in prizemoney. All bought for less than $100,000.
We are pleased to say that we have now had 11 horses to race, with 4 city winners, 1 provincial winner and 2 placegetters to date, with 3 still unraced (which includes the two new 2yo's). That is a 46% strike rate of horses raced to winners. Moatize is Group 1 placed and Xavier and King's First are multiple Saturday city winners.
* It was very appropriate for King's First to be our first winner, the penny dropped last campaign and he won two Saturday metropolitan races in a row, and did not missed a place in seven starts. Now having a well-earned spell.
* Sir James has been gelded and back in work for a spring campaign.
* Xavier has won five out of his last eight starts in town, stepping up to open company. A potential Group horse.
* Tiger Gem has broken through for her maiden win after showing promise at the trials. She is at home on a heavy or dry track and back in work.
* Moatize has been called Australia's best maiden ! Four seconds from only six starts, including Group 1 & 3 placings. Now at the Flemington stables preparing for the spring carnival.
* King's Suite is maturing into a nice 3yo and has just arrived back in the stables for her next preparation. She went shinsore after her last trial and is un-raced to date.
* Sobers has not missed a place at his three trials to date, he won his most recent trial and finished fourth at his first race start. He has matured into a very nice type of horse.
