Kenny made Redwood day super special for us two years running when he scored his 4th win in a row on Sunday. It was a super drive by James Herbertson and we are thrilled with what Kenny has been able to achieve this preparation.

We are so proud of what Kenny has been able to achieve in the last few months, particularly on Monday where he brought up his 3rd win in a row, breaking his own track record in the process. Thanks to our newest facilities at Evolution Lodge, Kenny is racing more than 40kgs heavier than his last preparation. His work routine of treadmill heat work, swimming and water walker sessions has enabled him to add and maintain a greater amount of muscle, without putting extra pressure on his legs. Go Kenny!

Kenny was the star of the show again with a great all the way win at Yarra Valley today. He is a stable favorite and we all love him dearly. A big thanks for a fantastic drive by James Herbertson

We are very proud of our old boy Gee Cee Calder who won today at Yarra Valley. He has been very consistent this preparation and he put his best foot forward today rating 1.57.5 and smashing the track record by nearly 3 seconds

We are very proud of Joey winning first up at Cranbourne last night. He still has a bit to learn but we love him to bits. Also a special mention for Kenny who was sooo close to winning his first metropolitan race at Melton on Saturday night running a great second.

No matter how busy the day is, sometimes you just have to sit down and enjoy the winter sunshine with Jessie. ☀️

Sunday fun day at Evolution Lodge with our racing team of 5 and V.I.P guest Tango splashing their way through the weekend. We only have a small racing stable of trotters but we are super proud of their efforts with 4 of the 5 being last start winners and Kenny being sooo close running second beaten a neck when he started off a big handicap. Fingers crossed for a big finish to the rest of 2024!

Ollie’s weaning process on point as he learns patience on the walker with a nice view

We are super proud of our 2nd 3yo trotter for the season Joey ‘Distant Sun’ winning his first race at Cranbourne last night. He is the first winner from his dam Itsgettingcalder and we can’t wait to see his development as he matures and grows into his gangly body.

17/05/2024

With a bit of sadness we will see Marty ‘Majestic Connies‘ run his last race for us this weekend at Cranbourne. He hasn’t always been the easiest horse to deal with and has had his share of issues, but he does his best and that’s all we can ever really ask.

Although he hasn’t been a financial success, which let’s face it they rarely are, we would do it all again just to re live the excitement he provided us when he won the heat and final of the Norm McVitty Memorial on Redwood day last year.

I know his biggest fan dad will be cheering from above on Sunday night.

We have a bit going on this week with stage 2 of the water walker progressing well and the new undercover yards getting close to completion.

Trev made it a very exciting 24 hours for us at Shepparton last night winning our third 2yo trotters race for the year. A big congratulations to his very excited group of owners. A special mention to our other boy Joey ‘Distant Sun’ for being a great travel companion for Trev and nearly winning himself first up.

We were super excited to see Jessie make it 3 wins in a row on Tuesday night at Bendigo. A big congratulations to West Winds Equine who we know are very proud of their girl and Chris Alford for another fantastic drive.
