It was nice to see Bobotov do enough to hold on for a deserving win at his home track today at Albury with Laura Lafferty on board. Bob will now push onto the Wagga carnival in just over a fortnight’s time.

'He is a family owned horse, so the money is in the bank.'

Rob has purchased a lovely strong and free moving c**t from the Magic Millions Yearling Sale today‼️

AYLMERTON X OCALA (10k)

“I expect him to get up and run early. He will head straight to Ben Hall’s to be broken in and gelded. For not a lot of money I think we will have some fun with him…”

First Platoon was off the scene for almost 12-months with a tendon injury

10/11/2023

It took him the length of the Albury straight and a patient ownership group to finally see FIRST PLATOON in front where it counted.
Well done to all of the team for their hard work in bringing him back from a long lay off after a tendon injury.

Our much loved Smiler Marshall looks like he has settled into his new life after racing very well!

- Smiler Marshall -

A beautiful off the track thanks to Wellington Racing! Smiler was a very successful and honest racehorse and has proven much the same off the track. Smiler is well underway in his reeducation and is coming along in leaps and bounds. He’s a big favourite around here ♥️

OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY…

FUTURISTIC is a horse who has plenty of races in him to win.

A lovely 3 year old chestnut gelding by Zoustar out of Panipique who was a stakes winning mare. He was originally purchased as a stallion prospect hence why he was an expensive Easter Yearling purchase back in 2021.

This season he has had his 6 starts in provincial Victoria where he has finished second on two occasions. A drop in grade and targeting races between 12-1600 metres will see us have some fun with him around Albury. He will be eligible for Country Boosted races as well as Highway races in Sydney.

Futuristic was a recent Inglisdigital purchase for just under 30k. He is around five weeks away from racing again in his new colours.

For information and to join the Wellington Racing team with an exciting galloper get in touch on this page or email: [email protected]

SMILER MARSHALL was retired from racing yesterday and will start the next chapter of his life tomorrow in the equestrian field. He was a stable favourite, providing us with some great excitement and fond memories.

Smiler was a great horse who replaced Nevad Dane and fortunately, we have retained another chestnut horse, Futuristic, who will hopefully emulate Smiler’s shoes.

There aren't many NSW trainers in better form than Rob Wellington, and the Albury trainer will look to continue that run at Narrandera on Saturday.

15/06/2023

Here is an ownership opportunity to join the team and not have to wait long to see him race.

TIFOSI is a 3yo gelding by Menari. Last year he had 3 starts where he won as a 2yo. He has a striking white blaze and a very strong hindquarter with plenty of scope.
Since purchasing him we have given him a throat operation. He is now back in training and coming up nicely. We expect to see him racing by the end of winter/ start of spring.

"It was a soft win by the horse in the end."

SMILER MARSHALL wins brilliantly in the Toyota Forklift’s Wagga Winter Sprint over 1000 metres today. With another great ride from Fiona Sandkuhl the in form combination were able to lead all of the way. Another massive thrill for the stable and we wish our stable apprentice Faith Collins all the best as she embarks on her first official barrier trial today aboard Bobotov.

SHAME FOR FAME delivers Rob the perfect birthday present with an impressive victory today in the Naughtin Development Group 1400m Handicap in the last race at Wodonga today. Thanks to Nick Souquet for an excellent ride.

"We were rapt with his performance over the Wagga carnival last Friday..."

"She was pretty impressive wasn't she?"

04/11/2022

With the sun shining and the team firing, it was a great day to be back at the Albury races!
ALTROVE started the day with a 10 length romp and then it was FEVER TREE who also led all of the way to ensure the stable finished with a double.
Onwards and upwards! 🟢🟣⚪️

25/08/2022

In a busy finish, it was SMILER MARSHALL who dug deep to put his nose down in front where it counted at the post!
Well done to Rob, Faith and all of the team who has been working hard through the wet and cold mornings throughout winter. A great way to start the racing season and bring on spring!
