👇 PHAROAHZANO – 1400m Class 1 Rising Star Heat (R2)
Impressive last start Mudgee Super Maiden winner who finished off strongly second-up for the stable. Stays at 1400m retaining Siena Grima in the apprentice race and jumps the widest (7) with space to find the best going.
🔹 LIGHTNING SPEED – 1400m Class 1 Rising Star Heat (R2)
Honest JJJ Racing mare at the 7th run of her first race prep, coming off a strong 2nd at Mudgee at the this class and trip where she went forward and fought on gamely. Drawn in Barrier 1, she partners with Mitch Stapleford who won a 1200m Tamworth Super Maiden on her the start prior and can dictate a suitable way home from the fence.
🔹 MERCHANT SPEED – 1300m Country Boosted Maiden (R4)
4YO gelding races again after a very modest effort when jumping on the pace and fading last start at Muswellbrook. Does need to show improvement to meet this task, but carries the least amount of weight with a 2kg claim from Siena Grima.
✨ Best of luck to all their owners and connections.
🙌 From last to 1st & back in the winner’s stall!
🔹 DANCES WITH HOOVES puts a frustrating preparation behind her with a hardy win at Newcastle Racecourse
Overcoming missed races due to weather and a few other hiccups this campaign, our 4YO mare proved strongest today with a tough run for home in the testing 1600m affair.
👏 to apprentice Will Stanley for his patient ride, sticking to the inside and putting her adequate stamina to work.
🏅 The mare her continues affinity with the course, especially over the mile, having won here earlier in the year!
🤝 Congratulations to her great group of owners on a well-earned result.

🌟 Super way to win a Super Maiden! 🌟
Recently acquired tried horse PHAROAHZANO repays the faith with a stylish victory on Mudgee Cup day.
Relocating to NSW and tackling his second clockwise run, the 3YO gelding delivered a polished performance under a well-executed pick-up ride by apprentice Siena Grima.
Thrilled to bank a result early in his new tenure with the stable. 🤝
Onwards and upwards for Pharoahzano! ✨
Congratulations to his owners:

〰️ MERCHANT SPEED takes his first run for the stable today in the 1280m Country Boosted Maiden at Muswellbrook Race Club 〰️
The 4YO chestnut gelding recently came under the guidance of the team in Scone and will be looking to improve his record against a competitive field at career start six.
Last running a month ago for a 4th in a 1400m Maiden at Armidale, he is 3rd-up for fitness but going in fresh.
Best of luck to all involved.✨
Lightning Strikes! ⚡
👏 Congratulations to JJJ Racing on the fantastic first win of their 4YO mare LIGHTNING SPEED in the 1200m Super Maiden at Tamworth Jockey Club!
In just her 5th career start, this tough little chestnut showed plenty of grit, overcoming a 3-wide run without cover for apprentice Mitch Stapleford, and outpacing some well-fancied rivals to score…
A full sister to stablemate Rajnish, Lightning Speed has thrived under the demands of her first campaign, sharpening her race smarts with each outing.
A brilliant result for her connections—your support is much appreciated.👇👍
Looking forward to her continued development and future success! 🌟

〰️Taking it up to Tamworth Jockey Club with 2 new horses and 2 starters in the Super Maiden 〰️
🔹PHAROAHZANO🔹- 1000m Maiden (R2)
This 3YO gelding joins stable with reasonable maiden form and after last racing a month ago in Victoria for a 2nd placing. Jumping considerably in trip to 1860m for that run, he will come back down to be sharper over five furlongs and start off a fresh page in his new jurisdiction while still retaining some residual fitness.
🔹TAIPAN LEGEND🔹&🔹LIGHTNING SPEED🔹- 1200m Super Maiden (R5)
Taipan Legend is on a 7-day back-up and out to make his case 3rd-up, stepping up in trip and sporting the blinkers. Suitably fit now, he will use the Jake Pracey-Homes forward still to sit closer after his two preceding efforts over 1000m.
JJJ Racing stablemate Lightning Speed👇comes through the same race and continues to furnish with each outing in her first race campaign. Further experienced at start 5, she hopes to find a comfortable trail from gate 7 and build into the race with the benefit of 1.5kgs off from apprentice rider Mitch Stapleford.
🔹AESTHETE🔹- 1200m BM74 (R8)
Also having his first run for the stable is this 6YO import who comes as a 22 start veteran and three time Tamworth winner, able to produce a good run on his day. He is back from a spell and out for a building run as he works out toward his more effective 1400-1600m range.
Good luck to all their owners.✨
Stable newcomer 🔹TAIPAN LEGEND🔹 makes a return today in the 1000m Super Maiden at Dubbo Turf Club
It’s a great kick-off point for the striking son of Written Tycoon and a chance for him to run well for jockey Nick Heywood with improvement to come on the other side.
The lightly-raced 4YO joined the team mid-year having one run before being turned out for a break.
Good to get him back racing for his new owners at the exciting time of the year.
Best of luck to all.✨

〰️ Today’s the next challenge for emerging galloper 🔹WHERE’STHEPROFIT🔹rising to 1250m in the Country Magic Showcase Class 2 at Manning Valley Race Club - Taree. (Race 5) 〰️
Although raw and later to the racing game as a 5YO, he is undefeated in his first 2 starts with indications of plenty more to come.
His win over 1100m at Narromine showed he’s learning to compete, and further improvement is key stepping to this tougher wet-track race.👇
…
Earlier in the day new JJJ Racing galloper on the scene 🔹LIGHTNING SPEED🔹 runs in the 1000m Super Maiden. (Race 3)
She performed with merit in her first race start at Muswellbrook, running on for 2nd and will be further improved from the experience.
Both runners chasing some handsome Country prizemoney with jockey Ash Morgan 🏇👏
Best of luck to the owners and connections. ✨
The well-placed DON’T CALL ME HONEY wins the 900m TAB Denman Dash at Muswellbrook Race Club 🏇💨
Fresh off a strong 2nd-place finish at Dubbo over 1200m just last Sunday, the determined 4YO’s fitness kicked in at the pointy end, proving him too tough to catch.
Excellent to turn his preparation into a winning one after his narrow defeat last start and campaigning well in strong Highways 1st & 2nd-up. 🏆✅
👌👏 to rider Ash Morgan helping the gelding muster pace to the front.
Congratulations to his owners and great supporters of the stable Whitby Bloodstock. 🎉👍
Back to Dubbo Turf Club again today with 2 runners. 🚛🏇🏇
4YO mare 🔹NOT WRITTEN OFF🔹was excellent winning her second race last start over 1100m at Narromine.👇
She has made great progress through her prep and now goes 4th-up into the 1000m BM66 (Race 7) as firm favourite despite her wide draw (12).
Earlier in the day 🔹BULLION HUNTER🔹 debuts in the 1000m Country Boosted Maiden (Race 2).
Winner of both his lead-up trials, the 3YO gelding will benefit greatly from drawing on the rail (1) and will see if he can carry on this good work to his first effort under full race pressure.
Good luck to all the owners and connections.✨
Winning Treble at Narromine Races❕🏆🏆🏆
4YO mare NOT WRITTEN OFF signed off a BIG day for the stable with a runaway last race win in the 1100m Class One.✍️
In a classy effort from a wide draw, she and rider Clayton Gallagher took charge of the race before the ink could dry and dominated the whole affair. ⭐️
…That made a race to race double for the stable and jock winning the previous with promising back-to-back winner🔹WHERE’STHEPROFIT🔹🙌…
In addition to the earlier win of🔹EARL OF BANTRY🔹who also made it two wins in succession!
Huge credit to the whole team who have the horses airborne.🤝🌟🏇
