Our Capitalist/ Knockout Girl filly is now Red Hot Rosie ❤️‍🔥🌶❤️‍🔥
She had her very first trial this morning and smoked them. Trial 9 at Rosehill Gardens, bringing home the fastest 2yo trial of the morning.

This girl was our only purchase of 2024. It was with clammy hands that the boss came home and told me he'd purchased a filly at Magic Millions January sale. It was with clammier hands that we tried hard to sell her all year long. So seeing your investment show some promise on the track brings a wonderful sense of relief.

You snooze you lose, all shares are now tied up. Thank you and welcome to her ownership, some new, some old. It's not easy as a small fry trainer to a) get the horse you love and then b) sell it. But we're here now and our Rosie is kicking onwards and upwards for us all.

The breaking season is underway for 2025.

Lot 69 in the upcoming Inglis sale. ANDERS/ HIGHLAND SECRETS.

Breezing in a time 11.03 into a 28km headwind, this son of electric sprinter ANDERS is a ready made 2 year old with plenty of upside.

Uncomplicated both at home and on the track, he gives his all and has a wonderful attitude to work. He has come to hand quickly and with ease.

We're confident he has plenty of fun pinned on the horizon for prospective buyers. Check him out here👇

Galant in defeat.
Just 0.10 second behind the G1 Golden Rose at Rosehill on Saturday 👀
Tony has pulled up well, and we’ll figure out his next move this week as the dust settles.

Fingers and toes crossed for Tony today 🤞🤞

Hawkesbury Race Club Limited trainer Ed O’Rourke is keen to set the record straight today & win his first race at a track where he once trained.

O’Rourke, who trained at Royal Randwick earlier in his career, has never won a race there, and is hoping to clinch a hat-trick with his talented sprinter Iron Man in a Benchmark 78 Handicap (1200m).

“I’ve had a winner on the Kensington track, and gone close a few times on the course proper,” O’Rourke said on Friday. Read more 👇 📸 Bradley_Photos O'Rourke Racing https://www.provincialracingnsw.com.au/post/o-rourke-chasing-randwick-first-with-talented-sprinter

Ed O’Rourke and Bryce Heys know they have to make the most of their best horses in their stables but have been happy to wait with Iron Man and Dancing Alone.
