🏇🥉3rd at Bendigo🥉🏇

Stable pin-up boy Reward The Crown ran a tough race today and finished strong to get 3rd 💪 He jumped from barrier 10, the same barrier he has jumped from in all 5 of his lifetime starts 🙈 Here’s hoping the poor fella can get in closer next time!

🥕🎉 Happy birthday horses! 🎉🥕

They have brought us both sorrow and success but we love them and we are lucky to have them as such a big part of our lives 🥰🦄

Here's to our team of equines and the start of the new season
🥳🍾🍻🏇🤞

31/07/2023

With the 2022-2023 season coming to a close, we are glad to see it go.
We have had a tough season with many downs and our only ups havn’t featured on race day! But resilience is strong in our stables and we look forward to the new season with a fresh perspective 🏇🦄🤞

🌟PICK OF THE YARD🌟

L’allegro was Jayne Ivil’s pick of the yard today in a $200k race at Bendigo!

Unfortunately his performance let him down (although drawing the widest barrier set a huge task for him and he didn’t seem to appreciate the track conditions) but we were rapt to have Jayne’s pick. It was lovely to get some credit for the effort we put into each and every one of our runners. We take pride in presenting well educated and conditioned horses - they might not win but they look good trying!

🥉3rd at Terang 🥉

Andai Steppes (NZ) ran a nice 3rd today, finishing strong from the back over 2150m. He has been a real project and caused plenty of headaches but now that we are getting him out over a trip and sorting through his issues, we are starting to see an improvement. Here’s hoping we are on the right track now 🤞

Stable pony Versace had his first day at the races today, accompanying L'allegro to Mornington 🦄

L'allegro ran a nice 5th, finishing strong after being held up. He will now go to the paddock for a short spell after a nice introduction to racing with 2 jump outs and his first 2 race starts this prep.
We look forward to seeing what he can do next prep 💪🏇

🥳✨️ H A P P Y N E W Y E A R ! ✨️ 🥳

As another year comes to an end we would like to thank our followers for your support of our small stable. We have had a fairly quiet year with only 3 horses racing but next year looks to be bigger and better with a few new faces coming in 🐴

We wish everyone a very happy new year and may 2023 behave itself! 🤣

Lauren has had her first ride on the filly who put her in hospital last year 🙈 Luckily they get along much better these days!
Now a 2yo, Sasha is having her first educational prep after being broken in. We are looking forward to seeing her progress.

16/12/2022

We were back at the races today for the first time in 3 months, this time with first starter L'allegro.

It was a nice enough first up effort, running 6th and he is still quite raw and needs further.

Looking forward to his next run and watching him progress 🏇

🎈Happy birthday to the boss! 🎈

Pictured here with stable cat Fluffy, who was born on this day 1 year ago!

Have a great day boys 🥳🎉🎂🐈

🐴Happy retirement Chill Factor🐴

Although she wasn't the first horse to race for us or our first winner, Chill Factor was the first thoroughbred that we purchased and she taught us a lot in the time that we had her. We bought her for a measly $5225 as a yearling, Brian broke her in himself and we had a lot of adventures with her.
Bella as she was affectionately known was a lovely mare to have around the stables. In the end she decided she'd had enough of being a racehorse, so she has been retired and now looking forward to a new career as an off-the-track pleasure horse.
Chill Factor's successful racing career of 24:2-2-2 saw her earn $52,525 - which doesn't seem like a lot to the big guys but it was 10x her purchase price! She was our first city place getter, running a nice 3rd at Sandown this prep.
It is sad to see Bella go but we look forward to seeing her new adventures and we have many memories to remember her and the part she played in our stables.

Grand Quill has gone out for a well earnt spell after a long and successful racing prep.
Quill loves being in work and racing and it still amazes us how well he keeps backing up! Although he wasn't disgraced at his last start - running 5th on a heavy track - he is a synthetic specialist so we have put him away now for next year.
A big thank you to Alana Kelly for forming a great bond with Quill, she has given him more confidence in his races and he runs so well for her.
Here's a summary of Grand Quill's season, showing just how tough and honest this little horse is! 😍🦄

09/09/2022

She adored horses and horse racing.
May she rest in peace 👑🌈🐎

A lover of the horse like no other. Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II.

🏇🥈Another 2nd at Ballarat 🥈🏇

Grand Quill continued his consistent form with another 2nd today at Ballarat. Although he copped a big bump at the 100m he still finished well, showing how this little horse is pure heart ❤️

🏇🥈2nd at Ballarat🥈🏇

Grand Quill ran a nail-biting race to get 2nd in a photo finish today at Ballarat.
Another great ride by Alana Kelly, once again this pair have done us proud 👏
With some of our owners on course and the sun shining, it was a beautiful day for it 🌞

🏇🥉3rd at Ballarat🥉🏇

Grand Quill continued his consistent form with a 3rd today at Ballarat.
Another good ride by Alana Kelly 👏
It was nice to have a couple owners there to enjoy the day with us and Ballarat turned on some sunshine too!

03/07/2022

🏇🥇 W I N N E R ! 🥇🏇

Grand Quill broke through for a well deserved win at Pakenham today. His form this prep has been very consistent and although the last two 2nd placings were very welcome, it is great to go one better!
A brilliant ride by Alana Kelly who has teamed up with our boy 5 times for a 4th, 3rd, a 2nd and a win 👏

24/06/2022

🥈2nd at Ballarat again🥈

Grand Quill ran a great race from last to finish 2nd on the synthetic at Ballarat today 👏
Despite the kickback and interrupted runs he managed to weave his way through and let down well once he got clear.

14/06/2022

🥈2nd at Ballarat🥈

Grand Quill is getting closer to his next win, running a nice 2nd today on the synthetic. It was his 3rd run in 12 days with the previous runs resulting in a 5th and a 4th. With him showing continuous improvement hopefully he can go one better next time 🤞🏇

11/04/2022

🏇🥉Grand Quill kicks off his prep with a 3rd🥉🏇

We are excited to have this boy back racing and he has started this prep well with his first up run today at Swan Hill over 1600m.
Thank you to Alana Kelly for riding Quill at the trials and staying on for his race today, it was a great ride and hopefully they can continue their connection throughout his prep.
Bring on the synthetic season! 💪🏇

🏇🥉😁🎉

Chill Factor had her first city race start today, running 3rd at Sandown! Not bad for a horse paying $101 ($20 for the place 🤑😉)
Great ride by Maddy Lloyd 👏
Chill Factor has been our stable's sole representative for the last 5 months so it is nice to have her in the top 3 again and finishing strong 💪

30/12/2021

We finished the calendar year in the money with Chill Factor running a nice 2nd at Werribee today 🥈
She has redeemed herself after a couple of poor efforts, let's hope her improvement continues into next year! 🤞🏇
Chill Factor has been our sole representive for the last few months so we are happy to see her put in a good run 🤣

🐎 Happy Retirement Simba 🐎

Salutetherisingsun (or Simba as she is affectionately known) has officially finished her racing career and moved on today to a lovely home.
Simba has had a few setbacks and ultimately couldn't handle the rehab process to make it back to the races.
Although on paper she was unimpressive as a racehorse, Simba did have ability that she was only just learning to tap into her last few runs.
Despite not achieving anything raceday, Simba has been a valued member of our team for 2 yrs (and don't tell the other horses but she has always been Lauren's favourite!). She is the quietest thoroughbred racehorse we've ever seen, both under saddle and on the ground. Even before she turned 2 she had such a mature mindset which led to her acting as the pony to some of our older horses, being a trusty workmate for them too. She could always be trusted to just get straight on after a spell and was an easy horse to work with every day.
With her beautiful nature and quietness, Simba certainly goes against the chestnut mare stereotype!
We are grateful to have had Simba in our team, she proves that just because a horse isn't a champion on the track doesn't mean they don't have an impact on those around them.
We wish her and her new best friend all the best together, we know she will steal their heart ❤
