Tiger Fox led from pillar to post at Bendigo today under a brilliant Jackie Beriman ride for a dominant win in the 1600m Maiden. The three-year-old has been racing really well of late and just hasn’t had things go his way, but he stepped up today and won well.

Well done to the ownership group who are a great bunch of people, headed by Club Sport Syndications who are great supporters of the stable. Tiger Fox was a $20,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase by SNR and he is well in front of that now. He was secured from Penfold Thoroughbreds who present their yearlings beautifully at the sales.

Jackie Beriman has been having a good run of form with the stable and was rapt with the performance of the son of Tiger Of Malay today.

“He jumped really good, got across easy, and just kept travelling. At the 600m I just picked him up a little and he responded. He was strong at the mile and appreciated being back on the turf with a bit of give in the ground.

Well done to all involved and out team at Mornington.

Blondie’s Award scores the first win of the new season with a dominant display over 1000m with Jye McNeil in the saddle on the Ballarat Synthetic today. It’s back-to-back victories for the now four-year-old mare who is having an excellent prep for Owner-Breeder Carol O’Shea’s Innisfree Thoroughbreds.

The Shamus Award mare hasn’t been outside the top four in six runs at the 1000m this prep and we’ll look to keep her fresh and look for another suitable race for her.

Well done to our team at Mornington who really enjoy these winners through the winter months when the mornings are that little bit tougher.

Designer Style closes out the season a winner, and an impressive one at that! Jackie Beriman gave the filly a great ride and is building a nice rapport with the stable. It was just Designer Style’s second career start, setting her up nicely for the spring and into her four-year-old year.

Well done to Owner-Breeder Michael Birchall and Rod Miller who both raced Group 3 winner and half-sister to this filly Brazen Style with us. It’s a great pedigree page, being out of the Group 1-winning mare In Style, who is proving her worth at stud.

The win at Wangaratta was one of two on the day for Newgate resident Capitalist, who nosed out Zoustar to claim the Champion Sire by Winners Title. Both stallions were locked on 169 winners for the season heading into the last day.

A big thank you to our staff at Mornington and Mel who was on strapping duties today.

Extreme Warrior has really started to fire as he closes out his first crop of runners. He has sired four winners from just nine runners, including the promising Listed winner Eternal Warrior.

Our Extreme Warrior x Come On Over c**t is completing his breaking process and has handled the early stages well. He's a healthy young c**t that has been enjoying his work.

Our c**t was purchased at the Inglis Premier Sale for $60,000 from the Collingrove Stud draft and opportunities are available to race with us. Get in touch to find out more.

Blondie’s Award strikes again with another win this prep and proving she loves racing at the 1000m when fresh. Zac Spain gave her an excellent ride and was full of praise for the Shamus Award filly once she balanced up in the straight, she was full of running.

She’s been so consistent this campaign when running over the short course with two wins and two placings from her five starts over the five furlongs this time in.

Well done to Carol O’Shea and her Innisfree Thoroughbreds who have been having a good run of late. We’re looking forward to a few celebration beers together!

Thank you to our team at Mornington who put in the work each morning, rain, hail, or shine.

Mission Accomplished! Covert Action claims a debut win at Cranbourne today with Zac Spain on board for loyal stable supporter Matthew Sandblom.

He’s a c**t with a big pedigree being by Home Affairs and out of Group 1-winning mare Secret Agenda. He was purchased from Cressfield Stud for $150,000 by SNR at Inglis Easter.

It’s great to see him win on debut after some strong jumpout performances and he’s a horse we’ve always had a lot of time for.

Well done to our team at Mornington and all involved.

Well done to Nicholas on strapping his first winner last week with Blondie’s Toronado. Nicolas and his partner Laurie have been working at Shane Nichols Racing on The Peninsula and are only with us for another couple of months before they go back to France. It’s been great having them part of the team and they’ll certainly be missed when they leave!
