Darwin Team.
Our Darwin Satellite stable is a go! Our team of 8 horses have settled into their new permanent stabling on course in Darwin. We have always spoken about making the move to the NT and we are thrilled to start that journey with a small team which we will look to grow as we settle into Darwin. It will be business as usual in Victoria with Neil & assistant trainer James will run the Darwin operation. Good luck to connections of our 5 runners in Fannie Bay tomorrow, we hope to kick off with a bang.
Congratulations to the connections of Hettinger who destroyed his opposition in the feature Toyota Finance cup under a peach from King Callow.
What a marvel this horse has been for our stable and we are so appreciative to have a horse like this in our camp.

Hettinger
Hettinger returned to the trials this morning at Tatura, we were very pleased with how he has come back, a bigger & stronger version of himself. He is right on track for his Alice Springs Cup campaign after stamping himself as a NT cups horse last preparation with 4 wins on the dirt by a combined 19 lengths.
Mohican Heights
Mohican Heights enjoying a day out in the Spring Sunshine here at Marymount post track work this morning, we find this is a great way of keeping the mind fresh and the horse happy during a prep. He will take place in our local Kyneton Cup next Wednesday.
Hallowed Ground
Hallowed Ground, just 4 weeks ago we had Shares available in Hallowed Ground for just $350 per 10%! After an impressive jump out this morning with group 3 winner Mr Maestro coming in 2nd, a change of scenery and life style with us at Marymount Stables he seems to have found his mojo…although he is no longer available we have 50% remaining in Wok Star!! Very honest sprinting mare we purchased 2 weeks ago on Inglis Digital. Don’t miss out and get involved.
Contact James on 0412 754 031 to come onboard.
Spring has Sprung!! Oliver Bullet enjoying a pick on a beautiful Spring afternoon here at Marymount.
HETTINGER dominates his opposition in the Katherine Cup this afternoon! His 12th run this prep & 4th win, congratulations to his connections.
Look out next year! Well done to Aaron Sweeney on another terrific ride.
The night before the Darwin Cup…all happy horses enjoying they’re dinner ready to launch into Grand Final Day. 8 of the team go around tomorrow & all should have a forward showing. Goodluck to all our connections & supporters hopefully we can bring home a 4th Darwin Cup.

Royal Request and Gracious Prospect at Mindil Beach this morning in Darwin, all signs positive heading into the Great Northern Darwin Cup!
Pot Black makes it 2 in a row in Darwin
After winning the feature event last Wednesday, Pot Black backed up on Cup Day yesterday to take out the Open 1600m Handicap in fine style from consistent stablemate Gracious Prospect. After settling midfield the pocket rocket came with a well timed run to grab his stablemate over the final 100m to bring up his 9th win for connections. A great effort by the stable pair and a win is just around the corner for Gracious Prospect. Congratulations to all owners and the team.
