Honarente Kicks Off in Style! ๐Ÿ†โœจ

What a way to return! Honarente takes out her first-up run at Sale with a gutsy, determined performance, guided to victory by Joe Bowditch.

Huge congratulations to Chris and Jo from Watson Thoroughbreds, who bred this mareโ€”itโ€™s always extra special when one youโ€™ve bred gets the job done!

A great win for the teamโ€”onward and upward from here! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ช

Master Right is back!

Another stable favourite returned to the races this prep with a gutsy 4th over 1500m at Yarra Valley. Settling at the tail on a leader-biased track, he powered home late!

๐ŸŒŸ Shares available from 2.5% ๐ŸŒŸ

We are thrilled to announce the purchase of an outstanding yearling filly by the Group 1 winning sire, Wild Ruler! ๐ŸŽ‰
Wild Ruler, the son of Champion Sire Snitzel, was a pre-Christmas 2YO sensation, winning the Inglis Nursery before going on to claim victories in the G2 Roman Consul, G2 Arrowfield Sprint, and the prestigious G1 Moir Stakes.

This filly comes from Wild Rulerโ€™s first crop, and with weanlings from this crop already fetching up to $130,000!๐Ÿ’ฅ Sheโ€™s the third foal out of a stakes-winning daughter of Gone Astray, from a fast American family, with her older siblings commanding $160,000 and $100,000 at auction.

The future looks bright for this tall, athletic fillyโ€”stay tuned as she embarks on her racing journey! ๐ŸŒŸ
