Dundeel is low flying 🦅

Dundeel has produced 11 winners in the last 7 days, and his most recent stakes winner was Australian raider Konasana, who took out the $600,000 G2 Westbury Classic on Karaka Million night!

We were thrilled to have purchased our Dundeel c**t (Lot 350) for $120,000 from Wentwood Grange. He is a full brother to the G1 placed and G3 winner Let’s Karaka Deel.

Share prices have been confirmed in this beautiful classic type of galloper - contact Kate for more information [email protected]

Taupo Dancer makes her debut for the stable in Race 1. Courtney Barnes takes the reins.

Red Lady is second up in Race 3. She will have the services of Marc Lerner again today.

Fashion Savvy finds a nice race today in Race 4. Leah Hemi takes the reins and hopefully she can knock off her maiden status.

Second up is Lucid Dream, she was ok on debut. Ulrika Holmquist remains aboard in Race 6.

Good luck to all of the connections.

We stole one here! Lot 658 is a gorgeous Satono Aladdin c**t from a brilliant running family, which includes G3 winners Elephant and Melt.

Purchased from Rich Hill Stud for $60,000, he was a great buy from the Lohnro mare Hot In Pink 🩷

Your derby winner 🤩

We just had to have this c**t, Lot 350 Dundeel x Tegwin purchased for $120,000. He's a stunning athletic individual with a fantastic outlook. His full brother, Let’s Karaka Deel was second in the Group One South Australian Derby, G3 Caulfield Classic and Listed Port Adelaide Guineas.

One word, quality.

We loved this lad from the moment we saw him. Lot 249 Super Seth x River Flow C**t. He has a brilliant attitude, pure strength and by the sire of the Karaka Million 2YO winner.

We snuck him late in the day and couldn't be happier to be bringing him home.

Whanganui | January 25

Be Be De will make his debut in New Zealand, following two previous runs in Australia. He has trialled in preparation, winning well. Mereana Hudson will take the reins in Race 1.

Second up today is Silent Is Gold in Race 4. He was great first up, and he will have the three-kilo claim of Elle Sole which will help his big weight.

Good luck to all of the connections.

Whanganui | January 20

Swiss Belt looks to knock off maiden status in Race 4. She will have Kate Hercock’s services again today following her fresh-up run in what looks like will be a strong-form race.

Second up is Tivaci’s Affair she has taken benefit from her fresh up run at Whanganui, Marc Lerner takes the reins in Race 8.

Good luck to all of the connections.

17/01/2025

Trentham | January 18

Impressive last start winner Albarossa will look to continue his form when taking the step up in grade in Race 2.

Another last start winner, Discovery Bay looks to make his claim in Race 7. He is aided by a soft draw and the three kilo claim of Toni Davies.

Rounding out the day is Hard Too Think in the Douro Cup, Race 9. He has taken plenty of benefit from his first up run but would need to, to figure here.

Good luck to all of the connections.

Trentham | January 11

Silent Is Gold makes his NZ debut in Race 3. The 6YO has 7 wins to his name in Singapore. He will be partnered by Toni Davies today giving him a three-kilo weight relief. While Trentham fresh up is a big ask, he has prepared well and we look forward to the preparation ahead.

Having a crack at black type, in the Listed Wellesley Stakes is game filly Hello My Dear. She was great last start when only going down a short margin, this is a step up but deserves her shot to try and qualify for the Karaka Million. Kelly Myers will partner her in Race 4.

A big winner fresh up, Sword In Stone will look to replicate this effort in the Group 3 Trentham Stakes. He has trained on well since, the drop in weight will help in what looks like an even affair in Race 6.

Good luck to all of the connections.

Otaki | January 6

Making her debut is Red Lady. She will take great benefit from the run today, Marc Lerner takes the reins in Race 1.

Lucid Dream is a first starter by Wyndspelle, from the good race mare Morse Code. Another who will take benefit from the race experience, Ulrika Holmquist will partner the filly in Race 2.

Ultra unlucky to not have the result overturned on debut, Albarossa returns to the same track and trip in Race 3 in the hope to go one better. Also representing the stable is Bullfer Grove who makes her debut. She is the first foal from stakes placed mare Bronsteel.

Jamaica Bay had excuses first up and showed improvement second up on Boxing Day. Third up today we expect he should be right in the finish of Race 4.

Third up today, Cherished Lady should have no excuses from a soft gate. Toni Davies continues her association with the mare, giving her a three kilo weight relief in Race 6.

Good luck to all of the connections.

03/01/2025

Trentham | January 4

Fashion Savvy was great when narrowly beaten last time out, Marc Lerner takes the reins aboard the progressive type in Race 2.

Given her shot at Group One level, Idyllic will need to take the next step here but she deserves her chance following credible runs this campaign. Kate Hercock remains in the saddle.

Good luck to all of the connections.

Tauherenikau | January 2

A stronger but smaller field starts the day, Tycoon Boss had a small setback following his debut run so he is now two months between runs, we feel he will be better with the run and we should see the best of him as he steps out in trip further. Swiss Belt is fresh up in the same race with Kate Hercock aboard, the 1000m suits and we look forward to seeing her build into her preparation as a 4yo.

Hello My Dear holds the most race experience in Race 2. She has run well without threatening in her two starts, the three-kilo claim of Toni Davies is a plus.

Clickety Click ran super behind stable mate Discovery Bay on Boxing Day when luckless. Mereana Hudson is aboard today in Race 6, we expect her to be right in the hunt with the soft track playing into her hands.

Another who will enjoy the cut out of the track is Pull No Punches. Toni Davies will claim three-kilos brining him right into play in what will likely be a tactical affair in the last.

Good luck to all of the connections.
