Our small but mighty Capitalist filly SOJU took to the stage at Cranbourne under the lights to give her rivals a schooling over the short trip of 1000m. As the saying goes ‘let fast horses be fast’ and that is exactly what in-form apprentice Celine Gaudray did. She jumped extremely cleanly and flew the machines,...
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...
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...
In the lucky last race we saw Grey Northern step back out to the mile in BM58 grade where she was simply too classy for them. She jumped well from the suitable barrier, with jockey Matthew Cartwright electing to take a sit midfield and she was able to relax really nicely which had been a...
After a highly anticipated first up run at Swan Hill that went awry, Shootoose had a point to prove at the Ballarat synthetic on Saturday. With Lachie King in the saddle and very little speed on paper, Shootoose jumped well and settled just in behind the speed, travelling sweetly to the 600m. At that point...
On Thursday night First Light Racing filly Grey Northern broke through for a much deserved maiden win after taking on the best fillies of her generation throughout the Spring. Jumping well from the kind gate, jockey Jamie Mott was able to find the perfect spot in the run behind the speed and settled nicely. Mindful...
On Sunday at Horsham onlookers had their hearts in their mouths as they saw Star Smash hold on for a last stride win in the 2100m maiden. As usual Star Smash jumped well from the gate and jockey Jarrod Fry put him in a nice position heading to the 800m mark. He allowed a couple...
Horses are naturally equipped with great strength, Â unmatched grace and indeed presence as well. Yet, they remain humble enough to carry the distinguished jockey on their back as they gallop ever-so-gracefully across the countryside, on various racetracks. Nevertheless, watching these gallops brings surging levels of enthusiasm and inpouring of never-ending bets, as racehorses make the...
An excited group of owners gathered at Caulfield on Saturday to see Little Stevie take out the 1100m F&M BM84 on Saturday. After putting together an outstanding campaign thus far, the writing was on the wall after posting some slick sections at Flemington last start. The 7 day backup proved a masterstroke from Simon as...
In week where all the main action centred on Royal Ascot, the Duke of Hastings was heading down the highway to Royal Geelong on Friday. The conditions were cold and rainy however the expectations were high, based on his brilliant second last start placing at Ballarat. Simon and the team have been extremely patient with...
