Two runners today for the team, both sons of So You Think.

Without Thinking heads to the big league for the first time, racing in the Group 3 Gunsynd 1600m on Stradbroke Day at Eagle Farm with Michael Hellyer aboard.

Having done nothing wrong this campaign with 3 victories, hopefully he can keep progressing and run a big race.

So Dapper gets out to 1800m at the Gold Coast where he performed so well in January; with 61kg it will be challenging but we look forward to a nice run.

Good luck all!

A great Esprit Racing training effort to have Bronzed Venom back from his issues and racing well, to nearly win today’s 1350m race at Ipswich.

We thought he was home!

Twilight Sunshine Coast races today and the two girls, She Shall Rule and Dutch Delight, will go around.

She Shall Rule raced very greenly on debut and should improve today with that Raceday experience, whilst Dutchy broke her maiden finally last start and faces a rapid rise in distance and class.

Good luck all!

Another strong winning display by Without Thinking last night in the CALOUNDRA SHOPPING CENTRE QTIS THREE-YEAR-OLD BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP 1600M at the Sunshine Coast, making it three wins in a row this campaign, after good victories at the Sunshine Coast and Ipswich. Ridden again by Michael Hellyer,....

Four horses racing at home, combined with Sheila’s birthday makes for a busy day and we hope that it all adds up to a big day of celebrations!

Sun ‘N’ Surf will most likely find the race too short, whilst Irish Ace has drawn the worst barrier which makes winning very difficult but she is in great condition.

Daintree Diva should go forward and run a good race, and the promising Without Thinking races in a tricky 1600m with a small field, and from an inside barrier will need the luck to come his way at the right time.

Good luck all, and Happy birthday to Sheila!!

So Dapper races 2nd up over a mile at Doomben today in R7 with Ronnie Stewart aboard, and despite carrying the top weight of 60.5kg should be very competitive.

Good luck all!

A very fit, well trained mare given a wonderful ride was finally being able to break her maiden status at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. 6yo Dutch Delight, who had had 11 short distance starts and 3 trainers before arriving at Esprit Racing last year, was bursting to win a race after a consistent two...

Sunshine Coast races today with three runners in the first three races....which will set the mood for the rest of Sunday afternoon!

She Shall Rule debuts for a large group of owners and the nice Shalaa/Queen Louise filly should run well on a firm track.

Shajaea returns gelded after a promising first campaign and we look forward to him progressing through this campaign.

Dutch Delight is bursting to win her maiden and she gets another chance to do so with Jaden Lloyd aboard and claiming 1.5kg.

Good luck all!

19/05/2021

Two runners today at Ipswich in the yellow and blue colours, with Love Demon looking to break his maiden, and Kiriana backing up after last week’s first up run.

Both horses are in great condition so we look forward to competitive efforts.

Good luck all!
