We’re back in the big smoke today and racing at Rosehill with ASGARDA. After a sensational effort in The Kosciuszko we will contest the TAB Handicap over 1300m. ASGARDA showed how tough she was last start after coming from last and finishing in 5th place. She flew home and was the second fastest horse for the last 600m. Thank you to everyone for your support and we look forward to today!

Congratulations to the connections of ASGARDA on her win today at Wagga!

Our Country Championships star returned to the winners circle in her first start back from a well deserved break. With a new jockey on board, carrying 62kg and over a shorter distance this mare keeps showing how tough, versatile and honest she really is. With a great ride by jockey Billy Owen the duo flashed home with ease in front of a cheering Aggie’s Day crowd. A big thank you to Billy for piloting the big girl home in style 🥇

In the words of Dougie “YOU BEAUTY KING!”. Congratulations to the owners of WOULD BE KING on winning the Grenfell Cup today. He’s a tough 9yo gelding who just keeps on giving it his all 🏆

BROTHERS OF ANTRIM made it two in a row after winning at Wodonga today. Under the guidance of stable apprentice Anaelle Gangotena, the duo took out the last race on the card. It was a perfect steer by Anaelle and a strong effort from BOA. Congratulations to the connections!

A picture perfect morning for a gallop! SORRY SUNSHINE (outside) enjoyed a nice run in the sun this morning ☀️

Congratulations to the owners of DANTAIN’S MAGIC on winning the last race at Wagga today! Paired with stable apprentice Molly Bourke the duo took out a strong first start win. DANTAIN’S MAGIC is a new addition to the stable since our relocation to Wagga. We’re so pleased to get a win for his ownership group who consists of Wagga locals 🏇🏻

That retired life feeling 💁‍♀️ Today an old time DGR favourite CHIEF OF ARLINGTON (Louie) retired from racing. Louie has been part of our team for his entire career when we purchased him as a yearling at the Inglis Gold Coast sales. Throughout his career he has won 5 starts with a number of placings. Louie has been an absolute gem to have in our stables and we can’t wait to see him thrive in his life after racing!

ALPHA LANE, AMEN BROTHER and ATTUNED waiting patiently for their dinner this afternoon 🍴
