Robert Dennis Racing

03/08/2024

We had some of our owners visit for trackwork yesterday - Mandy, Ben and their family spent their Saturday afternoon watching our team go through their paces after it was too frosty to work them in the morning. They've caught the racing bug like a lot of our owners, taking small shares in 6 horses over the last 18 months with us and bringing family along for the ride too!
