What a wonderful, well orchestrated night at the NZTBA National Breeding Awards on Saturday. We were proud to be supporting Mark Freeman and David Price for the wonderful G1 achievements of homebred El Vencedor. It was also an honour to represent the Woodhouse Family and accept Belclares G1 award on their behalf. Incredibly proud of the success of the small breeder.

It is always special when one of the family gets up to score and yesterday we saw just that with Elusive Impact (Toby) winning yesterday at Riccarton in just his second start. His dam Elusive Tracy has resided at Highden Park since the beginning and has become a wonderful producer for Ricky and Anna Rhodes. Toby is still 6 months away and we can’t wait to see what lies ahead 🤩

There’s nothing like Derby Day in HK and we have had a fabulous day with loyal friends, enjoying incredible food and watching some talented horses race. A very nice run from our boy Golden Darci to secure third which was a lovely cherry on top. We are blessed to be surrounded by good people who share our passion 🙏

Hong Kong Derby has been very close to our heart for many years now and seeing 3 of our boys have races named in their honour is so special to us. Also we see Highden Park graduate Golden Darci race in the 6th honouring his full brother and 2021 Hong Kong Derby winner Sky Darci.
Good luck to all connections.

Day Five was a big one, filming a segment for Cable TV Channel 18 with a wonderful crew, under pressure with those Derby picks 🤣 Drinks with up and coming bloodstock agent Andy Lo who has a Derby runner within the first 12 months of sourcing horses.

Today was a special one, getting to meet our friends Edmund Wong and Frankie Wu whom we have had a business relationship with for years but had never had the pleasure of meeting until today. What an honour. Lunch at the HKJC Clubhouse followed by a visit to the stables to see our boys, what a memorable day

We may work with horses but it is the people behind the horse flesh that make this “job”so enjoyable. After sharing a thrilling Group 1 win with locals Mark and David to then spending Oaks Day with Glenn and Lisa from Queensland, to now boarding a plane to Hong Kong to spend time with friends old and new. Our horses make the world so small.

El Vencedor takes out the Group 1 Bonecrusher Stakes for breeders and owners Mark Freeman and David Price.
A fitting win for the 5 year old son of Shocking as only last month we laid his blue hen dam Strictly Maternal to rest on the hills here at Highden. She was watching over him today. Beautifully trained by Stephen Marsh who has been patient with the step up to 2000m.
Congratulations to all connections 🍾🥂

Highden Park continues its impressive record for producing Stakes quality horses with home bred Wren running an eye catching 5th in yesterday’s running of the Lowland Stakes. Today sees three farm graduates performing at the top level with El Vencedor tackling the Bonecrusher Stakes G1, Nest Egg looking well placed in the Auckland Cup G2 and the super exciting Master Fay taking on a competitive field in the Newmarket Handicap G1 in Melbourne. We wish all connections a hugely successful day, particularly Chad Orsmby with his first runner in Aus.
