It’s not going to be a win that gives SZR headlines in the newspaper, nor will it line our pockets with riches but Brilliant Venture’s victory yesterday at Swan Hill is what racing is all about. A mere $22,000NZD purchase from the New Zealand South Island, the horse was syndicated amongst a group of Simon’s...
On Sunday the SZR team made the trek down to Sale with high expectations with our progressive import Maktoob to be sent out the resounding favourite in the Ladbrokes Sale Cup. The $200,000 Listed feature looked a very winnable race on paper with the Gavin Bedgood trained Keats looking the main danger. Maktoob jumped well...
There was a sense of anticipation in the air for the owners of Djockovic on Sunday at Seymour when he lined up in the Fowles Wines Maiden Plate. After running the fastest last 200m of the meeting at Sale over the unsuitable 1400m, the writing was on the wall. Djockovic jumped positively and was able...
If there wasn’t enough reasons to love Caulfield Guineas Day, the owners of Maktoob found another on Saturday when the classy import took out the BECK Grand Handicap. Sent out an $8 chance after a slashing run at Flemington last time out, Maktoob drew a much kinder barrier and looked on paper like he’d get...
On Wednesday at Sale stable newcomer Chargenlikapluma broke through for a much deserved maiden win after being the bridesmaid in his first two runs for the stable. Aided by a lovely ride by Blaike McDougall, the Pluma settled back in the small field and peeled out down the middle, showing a terrific turn of foot....
On Sunday at Bendigo exciting So You Think colt Don’t Hope Do made his presence felt at his very first start, showing great speed and tenacity to take out the Workforce Extensions Maiden Plate. The 1000m is certainly going to be short of his best trip but his ability was able to get him over...
On Saturday at Flemington there was a huge sense of anticipation in the air with our star filly She’sallshenanigans lining up for what looked to be her stiffest test against a crack field of the best fillies in the country in the Listed Cap D’antibes Stakes. Pre-race, Shelly had her game face on and was...
On Saturday at Moonee Valley up and coming stayer Duke of Hastings staked a claim to involve himself in some nice races throughout the Spring with a big metropolitan win. The plan was to jump and settle in the first half of the field, however that didn’t work out and we were forced to snag...
On Monday at Echuca we sent Tavisteel up the freeway on her lonesome to tackle the BM58 1600m. The solitary thinking time clearly did the trick as she stormed away from her rivals to score a soft win. With in-form jockey Lachie King in the saddle, she was able to get the gun run three...
After an outstanding first up run on the Pakenham Synthetic track last start, Aurolaa was poised to run a big race at the same track and distance yesterday. He was strong out of the machines with Will Price rolling forward and sitting on the speed. His task was not made easy, setting a strong gallop...
