Egmont RC @ Hawera Sunday 7 August 2022
RACE 6: SANDFORDS RURAL CARRIERS - R65 1600m - $14,000
๐ HEY HEY HEY (Albert) 6yo Bay Gelding (Shocking x Fairfield Flame by Oasis Dream)
No.5 - Barrier 6 - Jockey: Maria Sanson (a3)
Albert had his first run for the season finishing an encouraging 4th over 1600m today at Hawera. He looked likely early in the run home when hitting the front but was run down inside the last 100m. His first race for 6 weeks and lacking race fitness he will improve a lot from this hit-out today. Thanks to Matamata apprentice Maria Sanson for riding the almost perfect race.

(Verdi by Zabeel x Tacticall by Scaredee Cat)
Breeze had an educational run-along at the Levin Jumpouts today. Although a little naughty in the gates and inclined to run off the whole way around she kept up a strong gallop to the line. A small but tough filly to handle at times...we're hopeful she's learnt a bit more from today's outing. ๐ฅฐ Thanks Ashvin Mudhoo for riding her today.

Wellington RC @ Trentham Sunday 24 October 2021
RACE 5: METROCLAD 2100 - 2100m - $30,000
๐ HEY HEY HEY (Albert) 5yo Bay Gelding (Shocking x Fairfield Flame by Oasis Dream)
No.3 - Barrier 5 - Jockey: Taiki Yanagida
Albert produced another game effort by finishing 3rd in a very close and exciting finish today at Trentham. Ridden perfectly by Matamata apprentice Taiki "Tiger" Yanagida. Albert jumped well enough to again settle handy in the running. Approaching the home turn "Tiger" had him within striking distance of the leaders before hitting the front halfway down and fighting hard all the way to the line. Only beaten a short head and a nose at the finish... we are once again very happy with his run. Albert has won stakes at every start this campaign and weighed in 7 times from 8 starts to date. One more start or two and he may head to the paddock for a well earned spell and hopefully return better and stronger next year. In the meantime we will look forward to his next race-day start. Stay Tuned! ๐๐๐ค
๐ Racehorse Update:
Hello All...As you can see in our post below it's very wet in the CD and here on the Westridge property with 50mls of rain falling overnight making stable tasks that much more difficult and time consuming to complete. Thus we also need to ensure our race team are hard fit before their raceday returns. Racetrack conditions are as expected at this time of year being conducted on Heavy10 and Heavy11 surfaces making it a real stamina test for horse and riders. However the team are progressing nicely in trackwork for their future raceday assignments. See Individual updates below...
HEY HEY HEY (Albert)๐
4yo Bay Gelding (Shocking by Street Cry x Fairfield Flame)
We plan to enter Albert at the Foxton Trials this coming Tuesday 29 June in preparation for his return to the racetrack in July. He is feeling good under the saddle and working well.
CATCHOUXLATER (Dixie)๐
4yo Bay Mare (Jimmy Choux by Thorn Park x Spinalign)
Dixie has had another slight hold up with a loose tooth that needs extracting so has an appointment with the dentist this coming Tuesday. This has just delayed her return to the races only slightly but should see her now return to the races in July also.
UN-NAMED (Breeze) ๐
2yo Bay Filly (Verdi by Zabeel x Tacticall)
Happy to say Breeze has received her barrier certificate. We intend to send her to the Levin Jumpouts on Wednesday 7 July to further her education. Depending on her progression we will either press on with a possible trial in July or even start her very first racing preparation. She will let us know when she is ready.
Thanks to all our owners for your patience with the various frustrating horsey hold ups over the past month or two. โค We are due some better luck soon surely! ๐๐ค๐
