You won’t get a much more honest review than the comments straight from the mouth of the cameraman this Am !
$12k in total the below 2 horses cost the stable/owners. One of them a winner at metropolitan level in its first campaign with the stable and netted the owners $50k in the first prep. The other horse a $6000 purchase with a strong 4th at Randwick behind $1million dollar earner “Estriella” whom this year alone has won a Group 2, Group 3, 2x Stakes Races and finished 4th beaten 0.8lengths in the Group 1 Moir behind “Mornington Glory” and Group 1 Winner “Hayasugi”.
Winner: Ready For Vegas grinds it out for a tough win on the 3 day back up aided by a gritty Jake Molloy ride. A $5,000 Mm Purchase and a winner at start #6 He also continues a handy yearly tradition of a winner on cup day, with Midnight Boom saluting at the Gold Coast last year.
Congratulations Connections, a soft win like this is just the confidence boost he needs and hopefully can go on with it now. All the ability; just not real smart up top; However these trips away and race experience will only bring him on.

Tanker
Watch: 🤧 🥹 - 4 Months into retirement and “Tanker” has settled into “old-man-hood” quite well. The cruisey man has wound down and is enjoying his days with the Grason Team. He will be retrained and started eventually but there’s no rush. Horse first and foremost and that seems to be right up his alley. Thanks to Lauren and her crew; he’s a big soft spot for me and with a tough few months behind us it was really nice to open up these updates and remember on a more positive level as to why we do what we do.
Watch
Pristine Coats, Final Gallops & Happy Horses round out a very long week!
“Ready For Vegas” is back in action at Casino or Grafton in the following days.
Okay, so he's no genius, but he does possess by a long shot, the largest stride to walk through our doors to date . That being said he still hasn’t quite worked out what to do with it or where to put his legs as he continues to mature and furnish into a nicer horse.
Last campaign was a mess, far too young and dumb, he's wised up a bit since then. Not a lot, but he has. The first-up performance at Ipswich, reads poorly on paper, Don't worry, it's not as bad as it looks. No Jump Outs, No Trials, he was just getting his bearings. Look into the run and you’d see a horse off the bridle for 95% of the race, still managed consistent 10.9/11.2/11.4 sectionals and was eased late. Up in distance and given more time he’ll put it all together in a few runs and reward the owners at cricket score odds, stick with him, after a few runs he may just be all the wiser.
For now, admire the spunk that he is
Ready to Race Sales Have Arrived! 🙏
With existing orders in place for select clients, we aim to expand our stable database by acquiring one or two horses as we build our young-stock portfolio heading into the New Year.
For those unfamiliar, the R2R sales feature early 2-year-old horses educated and galloped over 200 meters, electronically timed, and presented for sale akin to Yearling Sales. This process allows buyers to participate in racing sooner, mitigating variables from sale to stable, with inspectable, vetted horses that can be seen working.
Our current purchase record stands at 1/1, with a $9,000 Sidestep filly winning on debut. We seek similar successes. Some horses may be ready for pre-Christmas 2-year-old racing, capitalizing on foundational fitness as the season intensifies. Our purchases are reasonably priced, sold at cost plus race series nominations, with a budget of $20-$30k
Previous success demonstrates $9,000 can yield returns. Interested parties, please contact me with share and budget interests.
Boom Court
Watch: “Boom Court” Enters the stable. A $18k tried purchase from earlier in the year. He had an extended spell to get over some niggles and has arrived in heavy but good order. He’s a horse with form lines around some of the best in “Yellow Brick” and is a Full Brother to QLD Sprinter “Avone” Who Most Recently won its last 2 metropolitan starts after finishing 2nd in the Gold Edition in 2023. Having only won the one race previously he’s in a fantastic position to capitalise on a low Class 1 rating to kick off proceedings strongly.
A slick effort from the trio this morning! All three are off to the races this weekend. “Ready For Vegas” is skipping trials, but a run or two, some ground and turf will work wonders. 2 Solid Jump outs and has shown enough.
“Shintaro Lass” gunning for another strong performance to keep the momentum rolling. The 2nd place getter from her last start effort has since won at Port Maquarie and we’ll place her well, as we look to solidify some consistency into her form lines.
“MygirlGladys”, our lovable weirdo, is finally back on track after two Jump Outs - she's looking sharp, but we're keeping her on a tight leash to avoid any pre-race freakouts, She’ll need the run no doubt but she is well enough and whilst sound and sane she can have a run/used as a trial. She’ll be screwed down 2nd up.
Spiethtacular
Watch: A brief overview of the Journey of “Spiethtacular.” The Spieth x Papoose” filly was purchased without inspection via Inglis as a weanling for $5,000. As she enters her third preparation, having been given sufficient time to strengthen and mature, she is reminding us as to why we rate her so highly already. Last campaign her work was outstanding all the way through and with her accompanied temperament she’s placed prominently among the favourites list !
Midnight Boom
🏆 Winner 🏆 - Shintaro Lass
We seem to have worked out the Pride Of Dubai x Pretty Snitz filly after pulling her off the poly at home and she’s now put 2 nice races together consecutively since joining the stable.
Due for the online auctions, we made a few adjustments and I was quite happy with today’s effort, she’s a filly that’s really settled down into her environment now and has been ticking over nicely.
Money looks the same in the bank account, and we took a float load of horses down to provide connections of each horse with every opportunity to cash a cheque as some of them come to the end of there current preparations.
Avoid The Misstres, good, now up to the right distance, pace was just slightly pedestrian, so had to get into the race a fraction earlier then planned however she didn’t particularly handle the tight corner which probably cost her a closer margin. Good Run, still well on track and will win another mile and a quarter at a track similar Lismore, Twba, Sunny Coast.
Cosmic Serenade due a spell and was one run to many, I’ll cop that one on the chin and chalk it up as a trainer error. Was placed well enough and deserves a break. Goes to the paddock a consistent tough horse that’s always been around the mark in good company this prep with another win to her name.
Midnight Boom unfortunately didn’t gain a start in the Bm50 - So contested the much stronger Bowraville cup with horses 25-30 Rating points higher than her. I thought her effort was magnificent and given some room and space to the outside in the straight, she would have finished 2nd/3rd. On times alone she was 9 lengths quicker than the Bm50 on the day. Probably one of her better performances this prep and great to see her still ticking over.
Congratulations Connections.
Cosmic Serenade
🚨 Winner 🚨 “Cosmic Serenade” wins impressively to mark a brilliant start to the season, securing her 4th victory for the stable and 9th career win!
Overcoming a wide barrier with ease, she demonstrated a quick start and with a tidy ride by Corey Sutherland always looked the winner & did so it quick time.
Congratulations Connections
