🏁 SHEPPARTON RACE RESULTS 🏁

We had one runner in tonight at Shepparton with Arties Courage! 💙

Arty was very impressive tonight, digging deep to finish 2nd after sitting parked for the last mile! A super effort from her, and very well driven by Tasmyn Potter.

Congratulations to her connections T. M. Cottrell, C. A. Cottrell, A. Cottrell and R. Cottrell! 🥂

Onwards and upwards from here! 💙🤍

Joey is back with his dance moves… and he’s had an upgrade! 😂

He couldn’t get his hands on a pitchfork this time, so he settled for a rug instead. Add a bit of Italian music and suddenly he thinks he’s auditioning for Dancing with the Stars: Stable Edition 🇮🇹🎶🐴

I don’t know what’s worse the dancing or the fact he seems to think he’s actually good at it! 🤣

We welcomed 2 new faces back into the stables today! 💙🐎

🔹 Queen Of Love NZ x Skyvalley NZ
2-year-old trotter has returned to begin his race prep and is looking great!

🔹 Terror Bull Girl x American Ideal USA
This yearling filly is back for her 3rd prep and continuing to learn the ropes beautifully.

Both had their first day in the cart today and handled it like little professionals ✨
What absolute gems they are!
