Bonny Lass returns home to retire 👏🏼
And so ends the wonderful journey that Bonny Lass took her connections on. From her @social_racing_nz syndicate members, her trainers Graham Richardson and Rogan Norvall, her breeder Sandy Moore, to us all at the farm where she was born and raised.
We are immensely proud of her and delighted to have her return here before beginning her next chapter! She retires with the incredible record of being the only other horse alongside Melody Belle to win at Group level at 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 years of age, including her much deserved victory in the G1 WFA BCD Group Sprint 🤩
This clip shows Bonny’s Group wins! She is also pictured at 6 hours old on 25 August 2018 alongside her mum Posh Bec, winning her G1 WFA BCD Group Sprint, and with one of her biggest fans Maddy Baker after arriving home yesterday.
Happy retirement Bonny 💛🤍

Niagara Sky
Born and raised Niagara Sky too good first up! 🥇
Big congratulations to long term loyal client Duane Eagle, whose Niagara Sky won his first start with ease at Counties today. The Ralph Manning trained horse was born and raised on the farm so it was very appropriate that we sponsored the race!

⚡️ Flashback Friday⚡️ Here is recent Gr.2 Royal Stakes winner Self Obsession (Shocking) as a yearling. Interestingly this turned out to be a pretty good paddock for Hallmark graduates as Gr.2 winner Bonny Lass (Super Easy) can also be seen here in this video (darker bay).
Bonny Lass races tomorrow in the Gr.3 Cambridge Stud Almanzor Trophy at Ellerslie and Self Obsession is on a path toward the Gr.1 NZ Oaks.
