We're back! 😎

After a few weeks away from the races we are back on this iconic Melbourne Cup Day with 1 runner for the team, while her race may not stop the nation, it certainly will out team.

Race 5 - 16.34 Graham Edwards Memorial (1100m)

5. Swing With Junior (2) Aaron Sweeney 55kg

Fresh up from a spell, our consistent girl has drawn well and Aaron takes the reins today. Always improves off her first run, a small but handy field of runners to kickstart the prep.

Best of luck to our team, owner's and connections and all those racing across Australia today. 🇦🇺

Happy racing!

We head to the Bay tomorrow with 3 runners for the team 🌴

Race 1 - 15.07 Sky Racing Handicap (1300m)

4. To The Point (7) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 57.5kg

Le Blanc stays aboard, over the suitable trip, far from disgraced last start after interference early. Looking for a positive clean run, he's been consistent all prep, never far away.

6. Shecanmixit (3) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 56.5kg

The girls pair up again, after just missing by a short head last week, we head back out on the quick back up, drawn well as we step up in grade.

1. Siberian Larch (2) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 59kg *pictured

Last start winner, Le Blanc looking to land another plonk. Same distance and a similar grade here again with a great draw.

⚠️ OTT ALERT ⚠

While Enuff Red may have failed to make much of an impression on the track here in the NT, he certainly became our young stablehand, Amy's absolute favourite from the day he arrived.
Their faces say it all. We have no doubt this pair will be the best of friends for many years to come.
We love supporting our young equestrians and our horses both on and off the track at Baxter Thoroughbreds, we can't wait to continue seeing this pair thrive together in the next chapter.

Happy retirement Red 🍷

Back to the Bay with ✌️ runners for the team tomorrow 🌴

Race 4 - 16.12 TAB We're On Handicap (1100m)

6. Shecanmixit (1) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 59.5kg *pictured

Back from a well deserved freshen up, our girls back down in grade with the perfect draw, Le Blanc looking to land another plonk for us, claiming 3kg.

Race 5 - 16.47 Sportsbet Handicap (1600m)

8. Enuff Red (11) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 55kg

Our maiden steps up in grade to have a crack at the mile. He's been finishing off his races, hopefully the further trip will see him tack on a bit closer. A tough assignment against seasoned horses.

Best of luck to our team, owner's and connections.

Happy racing!

⚠️ Lightly raced, 3x winner! ⚠️

Introducing the latest member of the team LA BOQUERIA, 4yo filly by BRAVE SMASH with an impressive record of 13-3:1:1

This ultra consistent fillies record speaks for itself, with form around Group 1 winning OZZMOSIS, Saturday Metro winning WORLD ALLIANCE & HI DUBAI to name a few 😉

With natural gate speed alongside being by progressive Japanese sire BRAVE SMASH out of a STREET CRY mare, she looks to profile perfectly for our dirt racing through both her racing pattern and pedigree.

At a great buy, this filly was snapped up before the hammer dropped, therefore have no shares currently available.
Should you wish to get involved in future or join the mailing list to get first look at our new horses, please don't hesitate to get in contact.

Our maiden that could!!

Siberian Larch gets the chocolates today out of grade in a class 2 Handicap over 1000m. With a brilliant steer from apprentice Hannah Le Blanc.

We can't thank our patient owners enough for sticking with this young horse who's had his fair share of challenges, all has paid off today and we are excited to see what's next!

Back to the Bay today! 🌴
We step out with 3 runners for the team all under the guidance of rising apprentice Hannah Le Blanc who had great success on the dirt down in Alice Springs last week.

Race 1 - 14.12 Trafficwerx NT TROBIS Handicap (1300m)

6. Enuff Red (2) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 55kg

Both up in grade and distance today, ran home respectably over shorter trips his last 2 runs, looking for further. Tough task for our maiden in this field, drawn well and the claim a big help.

Race 3 - 15.23 National Seniors Australia Top End Branch Handicap (1200m)

4. To The Point (5) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 58kg *pictured

Knocking on the door this prep, a solid effort for 2nd last start, just couldn't get through the heavy Katherine track, back on home ground will suit with the 3kg claim.

Race 5 - 16.37 Tschirpig Conveyancing Handicap (1000m)

5. Siberian Larch (2) Ms Hannah Le Blanc (a3) 55kg

Drawn super today over the suitable trip, a few very handy runners as we step out of our grade again.

Best of luck to our team, owner's and connections today.

A well overdue post, we sadly came to the decision to retire one of our stable favourites,

Aplomado 🦅

He was a very special horse to our team, getting many of our new owners their first win for us. He was our first unstarted 3yo for the team, and to top it off he won in terrific style on debut. With a handful of placings on top, he was always a very honest customer.
After not loving our tough Darwin heat and conditions we made the decision for him to move onto his next career, retiring sound and happy, he will no doubt make his new owners very happy.

You can follow his OTT journey with Abey Performance Horses we cannot thank Lou and her team enough, all their horses get only the best care and she ensures they get the right homes which is all we can ask for.

Happy riding!

Someone is going to be very happy with this young horse! Thankyou Lou for taking great care of him.

4. To The Point (8) Jarrod Todd 56.5kg

Leading rider Jarrod Todd jumps aboard our stable favourite, no luck with the draw today, a softer track may suit us.

Race 3 - 14.17 NT Keno/Mindil Beach Casino Resort Handicap (1100m)

7. Swing With Junior (3) Ms Casey Hunter 55.5kg *pictured

Our girls have drawn nicely, the huntress on board our try hard mare and back to a suitable trip.

Race 4 - 14.57 Fred NT Infrastructure TROBIS Maiden (1000m)

1. Enuff Red (6) Ms Casey Hunter 59kg

After a much improved run 2nd up, the huntress stays aboard, likely looking for further

Best of luck to our team, owner's and connections and all those travelling down tomorrow

Grand final day has finally arrived!
We reach the close of our Darwin Cup Carnival with 2 runners for the day, including 1 in our biggest race of the year, the Darwin Cup.

A huge thankyou to our team who work tirelessly all year long, we couldn't do any of it without you.

Race 3 - 13.07 TAB Handicap (1100m)

10. Shecanmixit (5) Ms Jade Hampson 56kg

Our girls are back for some redemption after a scratching at the gates last week. A tough little field, drawn okay today. Looking for a positive run.

Race 10 - Great Northern Darwin Cup (2050m)

9. He's The Ultimate (6) Ms Jade Hampson 54kg *pictured

Coming 5th in this race last year, we are elated to be in the field again and have a runner in the most iconic race in the NT. The Hampster on board for her first Darwin Cup after missing out due to injury last year. We couldn't be happier with this duo, we know they'll give it there all.

Best of luck to our team, owner's and connections. A big full day of racing today, be sure to enjoy it if you're lucky enough to be trackside.

Happy racing!

The final weekend of the Darwin Cup Carnival has arrived and we have 3 runners stepping out for the team.

Race 2 - 13.30 Administrators Cup (1300m)

8. To The Point (15) Ms Casey Hunter 57kg

The huntress is back on board, having won on the gelding over this trip before, we've come up with a horror draw, but racing well.

Race 3 - 14.05 Mintbet Maiden (1200m)

1. Enuff Red (14) Ms Casey Hunter 59kg

Another carpark barrier, the huntress hops on board, after a very disappointing showing last start, looking for improvement today.

Race 6 - 15.51 bet365 Handicap (1000m)

7. Siberian Larch (4) Ms Emma Lines 55kg

First up today, not much went right last preparation. We are up in class but down in the weights. The right trip to kick things off.

Best of luck to all our team, owners and connections over the weekend.

Happy racing!

HE'S THE ULTIMATE Into the Darwin Cup

We make the long flight to Darwin tonight for the final week end of the Darwin Cup Carnival. Saturday is Palmerston Sprint Day, the premier sprint race in the NT. Then the final day of the carnival on Monday sees the running of the $200,000 Darwin Cup.

For the second year running we will have NT Stable Star "He's the Ultimate" taking his place in the iconic Darwin Cup. He has been so brave in his return from a career threatening tendon injury. Spending almost a year away from racing, he has delivered a 2nd and 3rd place in three Feature Races so far this carnival. His 3rd place in the TAB Metric Mile last week was 0.3 seconds quicker that the time he ran last year when winning the race by 2.5 lengths. So we know that he is in terrific form.

We have had more luck with the Barrier Draw this year, drawing Barrier 6, which will come into Barrier 4 if there are no scratchings. It's a far cry from Barrier 12 last year, when he led all the way to the top of the straight, finishing in a gallant 5th place. Can he go a few places better this year? We can't wait for the big race on Monday!

Giddy Up! 🐎🐎🐎
