Trainer Michael Mehegan started operating MJM Racing in 2007, with the main focus being on breaking in and the education of horses for leading trainers. However, complications following a serious leg injury sustained by Michael during track work forced the business to be put on hold for a number of years.

Racing at Mornington today.

Race 3 - 2.30pm - Parera

The very handsome Rafa makes his racing debut today. He is a horse the stable has a high opinion of and we are excited to see how his racing career unfolds.

Although the 1000m will most likely be a bit short for Rafa, we will be wanting to see him hitting the line strongly and have a good raceday experience.

Good luck Rafa and to all connections!

Happy new year racing at Mornington today!

Race 3 - 2.01pm - Sanbenito
Race 4 - 2.36pm - Surperb Frost

The team are hoping to kick off the new year on a winning note today.

Leo has been showing glimpses of finding form, closing off with the fastest last 200m in his last start after being slow away from the gates.
Today he has drawn well so if he can start better he should be able to put himself in a more forward position and give himself the chance to finish off well.

Rusty steps out for his first start today. To date, he has done everything the team has asked of him, winning 3 out of his 4 jumpouts.
The big unknown is how he will respond under raceday pressure. If he can handle it, he is very capable of putting in a good run.

Good luck to Leo and Rusty and to all connections!

Boo's boys ❤️

Freddie and Sully.

Thankfully much friendly than their Mum, although they have inherited her fierceness and can be ratbags on their day!

Racing at Pakenham today.

Race 1 - 5.45pm - Party Benefits
J: Z. Spain

We are very excited to see Elsa make her racing debut tonight. The team has always had a high opinion of her, and to date, her jumpouts have been up to our expectations.

The big unknowns are how she will handle the pressure of raceday and how she will handle the track if the rain continues.

Hopefully she takes it all in her stride and we see a good showing from her.

Good luck Elsa and to all involved!

Settling into our new digs nicely.
Feels like home ❤️

Leo (Sanbenito) was very happy to see Ange Cohen today ❤️❤️

We are racing at Caulfield today.

Race 3 - 1.10pm - Bossy Benita

Betty makes her racing debut today off the back of some impressive jumpouts.

It's a big ask for a 2yo to step out in town first up, but we have liked what Betty has shown us to date, so she deserves her chance at metro level.

She's drawn well so we hope she can jump quickly, make the most of the good barrier and put herself in a forward position.

Good luck Betty, enjoy your first raceday experience!

RIP to the beautiful Miss Inbetween, who sadly passed away over night.

Ruby provided us with many highlights on the track and we loved her dearly off the track.
She will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The first of our yearlings to arrive at our stables after completing their breaking in education.

Freddie (Frosted x Prussian V***n) handled his new surrounds like a little professional.

Another great job from JCS Thoroughbreds!

We are racing at Kyneton today.

Race 6 - 2.56pm - Bencouver

Brad has finally managed to draw a gate so hopefully he can make the most of it today!

The step up in distance will suit, so if Brad can mentally stay relaxed then he should be very competitive. He does have a habit of throwing races away so we will be holding our breath and crossing our fingers he doesn't misbehave and show some of the potential we know is in there.

Good luck Brad and to everyone involved!

Racing at Pakenham tonight.

Race 5 - 7.15pm - Bencouver

Another wasted opportunity from Brad last start, playing up badly pre-race and then blowing the start which saw him stuck behind a wall of slow horses for most of the race.
Despite this he only lost by a length proving yet again to be a big source of frustration for the team.

Tonight he is up against some quality opposition over 1200m. We've finally drawn a decent barrier so hopefully he can make the most of it and put himself in a good position this time.

If he can keep himself together pre-race then we will be looking for a competitive effort from the big guy.

Good luck Brad, behave yourself and run well 😀

Racing at Pakenham tonight.

Race 2 - 5.45pm - King Ben

Sully resumes tonight in what looks to be a pretty strong race.

He's draw the widest gate which is not ideal but we are hoping to see him hitting the line strongly and show to us that he's fully recovered from the nasty virus that derailed his Spring campaign.

His last trial was excellent so if he can bring that form tonight he should be very competitive.

Good luck Sully!!

Easter racing at Mornington today.

Race 1 - 1.20pm - Sanbenito
Race 5 - 3.40pm - Bencouver

Leo looks to have come on significantly since his first start, with a noticeable improvement in his gallops.
We are hoping he can bring this to the races today.

We're trying something a bit different with Brad today, sending him to the races off the back of just one trial.
He has grown since his last prep but looks to be in a really good space and happy in his big frame. We are hoping we can finally see him deliver on his potential.

Good luck to everyone involved and fingers crossed the boys can get us a double 🤞

15/03/2024

We are racing at Pakenham tonight.

Race 1 - 5.45pm - Jewel Ben

Billie makes her racing debut tonight in what looks to be a smart maiden.

Billie's had a few setbacks and challenges thrown at her along the way but in amongst those she has shown she has lots of ability.

Although we expect the 1000m dash will be too short for her we will be wanting to see her hitting the line strongly. And hopefully she will enjoy her first trip to the races to set herself up for a good career ahead.

Good luck Billie and to everyone involved!
