🥇More Importance🥇

More Importance ($14.50) saluted at good odds in race nine’s 0-58 (1000m) at Echuca on Saturday.

The five-year-old gelding and hoop Joe Bowditch produced a strong run to win by half a length.

Congratulations to all connections.

🥇Week review🥇
- ADR ran away with two winners this week.
- Eamonn’s Memory took out the Griffith Cup. It was the second country cup win of the star gelding’s career after he won the Tumbarumba Cup in January.
- Copperfield was victorious in race eight’s benchmark 58 (1300m) at Wodonga on Tuesday. Lachlan King gave the gelding a beautiful ride, winning by half a length.

⏭️Week ahead⏭️

🏇Echuca🏇
- Saturday’s Echuca meeting will see three, possibly four ADR runners in action.
- New addition Vonk will jump from gate two in race six’s 0-58 handicap (1400m). Vonk crosses from Peter Gelagotis’ stable.
- Super View will run his second start for the stable in race seven’s 0-58 (1400m) after finishing mid-field at Corowa last start.
- Turnaquid will have to overcome a wide barrier (17) in race eight’s 0-58 (1200m) which shouldn’t be too much of an issue given her racing style.
- More Importance is an emergency in race nine’s 0-58 (1000m).

🏇Leeton🏇
- Sheila and Shooting For Stars have been accepted into race four’s benchmark 84 handicap (1150m) drawing gates three and four respectively.
- Brenlyn’s Daisy makes a return from spell in race six’s class 2 (1150m).
- Crimosa will run in race seven’s benchmark 58 (1050m).

🗓️Future plans🗓️
- Eamonn’s Memory may be aimed at the Weary Dunlop Handicap on Benalla Cup day next Friday.
- Copperfield may run in heat one of the MCC Country Series. Finishing top two in the $100,000 heat would secure a place in the $500,000 final.

EAMONN’S Memory was rewarded for a consistent preparation with a victory in last Saturday’s Griffith Cup (1350m). Hoop Billy Owen parked in behind the leader before proving too strong down the straight to salute by around half a length. The win continues an outstanding preparation that has spann...

🐴Up and comers🐴

Four of our up and comers are showing promise in their first few preparations with ADR.

Our Spirit of Boom x Never Forget filly, a lucrative three-figure Magic Millions purchase that was bought on behalf of loyal clients, has enjoyed some education with well renowned breaker and pre-trainer Adrian Corboy. Adrian thought the filly was quite forward and has potential. She’s currently in work at ADR and is progressing nicely. She will be looking to have a jump out in mid-October.

Our Anders x Soleil Brulant c**t and All Too Hard x Desert Realm filly that were purchased by respected bloodstock agent James Mitchell have been working in tandem. The pair were bought for good value at the 2024 Inglis Classic Yearling Sales. After promising preps they’re both in the paddock but will be looking to have jump outs when they return. There are limited shares available in both horses, contact us for more information.

And finally, Brenlyn’s Legacy, the full-brother to stakes placed Brenyln’s Trooper and half-brother to promising youngster Brenlyn’s Daisy, is going well. The son of Redente is in the paddock and will be looking to make a return to work in mid-October.
