π¨ππ₯ Star Prediction π₯ππ¨
The new horse in the stable Star Prediction looks like he could have a little future in country racing. Aaron Bullock jumped aboard in a provincial Super maiden at Port Macquarie and gave him a 10/10 ride and we got the owners a great return straight away.
This little horse has done a great job in his first race start. Canβt wait to see what we can do with him over the next few months.
A big thank you to all the staff for looking after this little horse.
Kind Regards

π¨ππ₯³πΎπ₯ Kempsey Cup π₯πΎπ₯³ππ¨
We have finally done it and won the Kempsey Cup. Plus to do it with a local girl Siena Grima
We couldnβt be more proud.
What can we say about the horse and the rider.
Xtra Approval gave us our first city winner. Has been sacked a hundred times nearly got sold and now live in his old box with the goats.
Siena came out laughing and joking about how this race would be run. It didnβt matter it was a 20/10 ride.
To Kempsey jockey club thank you for a great day it was an amazing crowd and a great Calcutta Thursday night.
To all my staff thank you for all your efforts a special one goes to Lea L Boyd. Thank you for the last two weeks you have been the backbone of the stable. I know we got this one wrong but we will make up for it donβt worry.
To all the owners congratulations and this cup means a lot to you all.

π¨ππ₯ Better Explain π₯ππ¨
Siena Grima and Better explain show that the last start win together was not just a one off.
Last start Better explain went to Newcastle and did nothing but he must have known Siena was back in the saddle.
This was a great ride and just to be caught right on the line.
Canβt wait to see where better explain goes to next but we know Siena will be getting the call up first.
To all the owners congratulations on another great performance.
Kind regards

π¨π¨πΎπ₯³π₯ Better Explain π₯π₯³πΎππ¨
2024 Bakewell Haulage Krambach Cup winner
Better Explain with young apprentice Siena Grima aboard.
What can we say about this ride. 2nd last at the 600m a wall of horses in front and Siena comes wide and sets out after the leaders.
10/10 ride from a young lady coming through the riding ranks. This horse won so well at Muswellbrook two starts back and last start nothing went to plan with a fall in the race but today he showed us what he can really do and was in for the fight over the last 100m.
Congratulation also to his strapper Macy Carter
on strapping your first ever winner in only your second time doing it.
Congratulations to all the owners and thank you for your support.
Kind Regards
