A busy end of the year for the team with a couple of nice placings to round 2023 off. A great 🥉 on the 27th @ New Plymouth by Ruby Seeker and a gutsy 🥈 for Opawa Jack today @ Hastings after 6 weeks between runs.
It has been a good season so far and I want to take the time to thank everyone who has played their part and I am already looking forward to what CBR can achieve in 2024! 🥂
Video below is our two stable sweethearts Chantilly Lace (pink cap) and Flower Of Wanaka (white cap) having an exhibition gallop today at Hastings between races in preparation for their next assignments.
Great win by Bella Corno and Lily Sutherland today, I’ve always held this filly in very high regard so it was great to see her notch up her first win so impressively. Congrats to Ben Kwok who not only owns her but bred her as well, another special Bella for the team!
She nearly did it again! Tough as, what a ⭐️, deserves this bag of grass 🌱 for sure!!
Chantilly Lace a very brave 2nd in the Grp 3 Gold Trail 🥰
First win for the new season ticked off with Hamish today at Waverley! Aided by a gun ride by one of our hard working track work riders Adam Scott this one was well deserved by the rider, the horse and his patient owners!! Well done to everyone 🥇🏇
He might’ve been supposed to run on Friday but Sergio didn’t mind the extra few days wait with his impressive victory today!!
The old war horse claims his 12th win with a gun ride by apprentice Kelsey Hannan taking him to the front and just kept kicking!
Sergio was our solo runner today at Hastings and made his first win look pretty impressive!! Well done to connections!
Good day out at the trials for the team today even if the course pukeko bird tries to take your jockey out on the home turn 😲 but never fear no Pukeko’s we’re hurt in the making of this video….seen walking off at the end!
And Bellacontte goes bang 💥
Really proud of Kingfisher Lad yesterday after his brave 3rd against a nice 3yo field and he was only just beaten by horses that had already won races - he’s certainly very brave and tries very hard, plenty more fun in store with this one!
The team had a great day out at the Foxton trials today and looking forward to seeing all these improve from the outing as well 💪🏻 🐎 💨
Spring Tide racking up the 10th win for the team this season and hopefully a bit more fire power to unleash before the end of the season yet 🔥
Spring Tide took top honours for the team at Trentham today after a gutsy performance with 61.5kgs to run down the leader after a very well timed ride by Sarah McNab!
Earlier in the day Speed Call and Adam Scott nearly pulled one out of the bag running a very brave 2nd!
Plenty more excitement to come for the team in Winter I think, congrats to all the connections 🥇🥈🏆
Great day today with our 2yo filly Bellacontte running a super 3rd in the Castletown Stakes for owner Ben Kwok and then tonight our stable fav Lord Bouzeron who’s now under the care of Michael Hickmott in Adelaide streaks clear for an impressive win!! Both coincidentally sires by Burgundy!
Great run by Bellacontte for 3rd in the Listed Castletown Stakes today, she made up a lot of ground late and the future looks bright for her ⭐️
Lava Rock breaks maidens today under a super ride by Kate Hercock! Well done to his connections I’m sure there’s plenty more to come!!
Good day out at Waverley trials today with four in for some very promising runs looking towards the winter months capped off by “Doll” and Charlotte taking top honours in their heat 💞👌🏼
