Victoria P managed to go a couple of seconds under the time, all on her own, in her qualifier today at Pukekohe Trials. She was a bit lost on her own and had to battle a strong head wind up the home strait so a great effort by her 😊⌚ 🐎 🥇

Own The Moment had her first start at Alexandra Park on Friday night 20th January 2023. It was a massive milestone for her, as she is a rescue from a much worse fate because of her behavior issues in the cart. She was previously given up on as a 2yo because she refused to go … Continue reading "Ow...

Lisa Marie P is a mum again, she gave birth to a beautiful filly on the 12 December 2022. I am hoping to name the filly Edith P, after French Singer Edith Piaf who’s career and fame gained momentum during the German occupation of France in World War II, which I feel is fitting since … Continue r...

So proud of this girl today, Own The Moment qualified at Pukekohe this morning, running 3rd. She got a bit tired at the end after being way out in front most of the way, which took a toll with the slushy track, but she kept trying when headed round the home bend and managed to qualify 2 seconds under the time. 

She is going out for a well deserved spell now, and hope to have her back for her first race day start in 2-3 months time.

Gwyneth P backed up her left handed win at the workouts last week with a nice win again going in the opposite direction.

Placebo Effect Stables welcome people with the same values as mine to join in the fun of Harness Racing Ownership. Don't ask me to spell out what Placebo Effect means, I might get in trouble 😂. But seriously, I'm keen to open up ownership opportunities in racing the mare's I've kept that will become broodmares when finished racing. Feel free to msg me if you want to know more.

Why wait for that yearling purchased at the sales to come of age, come join the fun with us with horses that are currently at the trials, and will be racing in the next month. Dolly P is likely to resume racing next week, and you could be part of her ownership. She ran a … Continue reading "Dolly ...
