HAPPY NEW YEAR πππ
As we say goodbye to 2024 and welcome in 2025 - We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in our stable ππ
From our trackwork riders, farrier, physio, dentist, vets, to all our fantastic, supportive and loyal owners- we couldn't do it without you all. It's a huge team effort which we appreciate so much!
Let's bring on 2025 - we hope you join us for it ππ
π The big 'E' is on its way back! π
Huge thanks to ATR for providing some jumpouts today. 5 horses from our stable enjoyed a nice gallop on the refurbished racing surface. Massive thanks to Bridget for all her help on the ground as well as the three jockeys who partnered with our runners, Tristan Moodley, Tayla Mitchell and Billy Jacobson.

Over the years we have had the pleasure of pre-training many quality horses for other stables including horses such as Saint Alice, Waitak, Destination, & Spanish Whisper just to name a few.
This new addition is no exception - arriving yesterday, quality Charm Spirit filly "I'munstoppable" has come to us to be prepared for her upcoming spring & summer campaign for Wexford Stables.
A huge thanks for her owners who have been such loyal supporters of ours, but also Wexford Stables who have entrusted us to care and prepare her.
Our little consistent stable star 'Burgundy Iff' went another honest race today under the guidance of Group 1 Jockey Sam Spratt; and finished a brave 4th.
Here is a lovely video we got sent of "Jessie" pre-race by the connections of this lovely mare. She may not be big, but she is certainly tough and always puts her best hoof forward
The best part is seeing the owners on course enjoy the day and loving the racing and their horse. Onwards and upwards πβ€οΈ
Great to see a filly we sold recently after her one and only trial here in NZ win on debut in Australia today for OTI Racing and Matthew Williams Racing. A classy filly with plenty more installed.
'Forever Young' completing some pacework training this morning at Pukekohe Park in readiness for his next raceday start which is this Saturday back here at his home track - Race 2 at 12:40pm.
Zawadi. Win number 3.
'Zawadi' wins his 3rd race in Australia today with an impressive victory at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club over 1800m with Mark Du Plessis in the saddle. Just great to see these colours carried to victory in Australia - huge thanks to Mark for his ride, and of course Paul Jenkins for all his hard work. πππ₯π
Puke Jumpout
A great day at the Pukekohe Jumpouts today with 5 runners from our stable for, 2 winners, two 2nds and one 3rd. Thank you to our jockeys today, Masa Hashizume, Doni Prastiou and Jaqui Filmore.
All the horses performed very nicely and look to be shaping up well for the Spring and Summer Racing. A massive thanks must go to our team of great trackwork riders who take a lot of pride in each of our horse's, and to the owners for placing them in our stable. We truly appreciate all of the wonderful support.
Video: "Fullbore" and "The Chrome Nun" finishing 1st and 2nd respectively in their heat.
Arabia. Tauranga
Arabia goes so close once again in Race 5 today at Tauranga, but again had to settle for 2nd place. π₯another great effort by the mare by #charmspirit and she certainly deserves her spot in the winner circle. A huge thank you must go to Tauranga based trainer, Brian McKegg and his fantastic staff for their great and loving care of her today. ππ
Pukekohe Jumpout. Heat 7.
We had another busy morning at the track today with four horse's from our stable having jumpouts on the course proper at Pukekohe Park
π Lady De Winter has kick off her new campaign and ran a very tidy 3rd place and looks to have returned much bigger and stronger.
π We had a nice 3YO El Roca Gelding win his heat, making it two jumpout wins now so all going well he will progress towards the trials. He looks an exciting and progressive horse going forward.
π Finally, we also had a lovely 2YO Proisir Filly win her respective 2YO heat in a nice manner. She is quite a forward type of filly and has taken natural improvement from everything we have done thus far and we are excited about her future.
All in all, a great and positive morning. Huge thanks to all our great team behind us and of course the owners of these horse's. Looking forward to what's ahead ππ€

Zawadi win
'Zawadi' justified his strong favoritism on the tote this evening with a really strong win over 1800m at the Sunshine Coast. Great to see the stable colours carried into the winners circle in Australia. Huge Thank You to Paul Jenkins Racing for all of their fantastic work! πππ
