Hemlock Stone (blue colours) had to stretch his neck a bit to win the first race at Ascot on Saturday. An $11,000 yearling purchase, this was his sixth win from just 17starts and it took his prizemoney to over $183,000.

When Knight's Choice surprised practically everybody by winning The Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, it wasn’t just a victory for the connections, but a victory for every small racehorse owner in Australia.

Apart from it being one of the most heartwarming and inspiring tales in recent memory, the remarkable win serves as a powerful reminder that you don’t have to spend millions of dollars importing European stayers to win Australia’s greatest race. The bolters’ win gives hope to us all that success can be found in any corner of the racing industry.

Knight's Choice didn’t come from a prestigious European bloodline with a seven-figure price tag attached. Instead, he was a somewhat modest $85,000 Magic Millions yearling purchase. As a small horse (he stands just 15.1hh) he has 5 dams on the page and there’s not 1 Stakes Winner to be found there. Consequently, he was a Book 2 yearling, which means that he didn’t even make the main (Book 1) sale! Despite his modest pedigree and beginnings though, he was bred and trained locally and cared for by a team who believed in his ability. This underdog story is proof that with the right horse and the right spirit, every owner, every syndicate member, and every trainer can still dream of Melbourne Cup glory.

Knight’s Choice’s path to victory mirrors the hopes and dreams of the many small share owners that make up the entirety of our client base with both Belhus Racing Stables and Grand Syndicates. People just like you who pour their hearts into their horses, supporting and believing in them every step of the way. It’s a victory that shows that no matter the odds, success is possible. And while not every horse will stand in the winner’s circle at Flemington, being part of a journey that could lead there is something truly special. Because owning a share in a racehorse isn’t just about the result. It’s about the journey. It’s about the hope, it’s about the anticipation, it’s about making new friends from the likeminded people that you meet along the way, it’s about riding the ups and downs, it’s about making and enjoying fabulous memories, and it’s about respecting and loving your horse.

Racing is a sport of dreams, and as Knight's Choice demonstrated on Tuesday, those dreams are not just for the wealthy elite. They belong to all of us. Where else can you compete as an owner and attain such glory? You can’t own a Formula 1 team. You can’t own an America’s Cup yacht, and almost certainly you can’t own Manchester United or Chelsea. But you can own a very good racehorse.

To every owner who has believed in their horse and stayed the course, to every syndicate member who supports the dream of racing glory, we thank you. Knight’s Choice is your story too, so, as we look forward to future races, let’s hold on to this inspiration. Each race is an opportunity, each horse a potential champion, and each of you are a crucial part of the great journey that is horse racing. At Belhus Racing Stables and Grand Syndicates, we know that a love for the sport, commitment, and the courage to dream are the essential ingredients that make every race meaningful.

Here’s to your next big win—and may we all keep believing in the possibilities each new race brings.

See you in the Winners Circle!

Belhus Racing Stables Unveils a Unique Racing Syndicate Just for Karens – Celebrating the 'Nice Karens' with a Fun Racing Experience!

Perth, WA – October 23rd – Belhus Racing Stables is excited to announce a groundbreaking opportunity for women named Karen! In a world where the name "Karen" has taken on an unfair stereotype, this syndicate offers a fresh and fun chance for all the wonderful, kind, and spirited Karens to join forces and enjoy the thrill of racehorse ownership together.

The star of the syndicate is a stunning two-year-old filly by Headwater from Tuscany Lady, who’ll be trained by Misty Bazeley. But what truly makes this syndicate special is that it’s being offered exclusively for women whose first name is Karen!

Why the Karen Syndicate?

Karen Morley (pictured leading the winner in) is the co-owner of Belhus Racing Stables and conceived this unique idea as a way to push back against the negative connotations surrounding the name Karen. She wants to bring a big group of ‘nice Karens’ together for something positive and exciting.

“We all know that the whole ‘Karen’ thing isn’t true, but it does give us a bad name. So, I thought, why not create a unique syndicate for all the ‘nice Karens’ out there to share something fun and extraordinary—owning a racehorse together!” Karen said.

This syndicate gives women named Karen the opportunity to reclaim their name, build friendships, and experience the thrill of racing ownership in a light-hearted and inclusive environment.

What’s Included?
• Ownership in a promising two-year-old filly.
• Exclusive race day access, stable tours, and personalized updates on the filly’s training and progress.
• Social events where Karens can come together to share in the excitement of racehorse ownership.
• A supportive community of Karens with a passion for fun and friendship.

What Does It Cost?
• A 5% share in the syndicate costs $2,520. The upkeep cost to pay for a 5% share is $250/month ($57.69/week) which covers all costs.

Join the ‘Nice Karens’ Racing Syndicate Today!
If your name is Karen, don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to join Karen Morley and become part of a special group of women racing a horse together!

If you know a Karen that would be interested, then 'tag a nice Karen'!
