💚🖤 MIGHTYMAXI 🖤💚 4yo g Preferment x Miss Minogue 9: 1: 1: 0 taking his prize money to $44,050.

On the 10th of April Max and Jackson got the cookies over 2100m breaking his maiden status and a fairly long drought for the team. Jacko and Max get along like a house on fire, with the JKB racing apprentice giving the big fella an absolute peach of a ride to take home a TASBRED bonus as well.

Max has become pretty well known and appreciated member of our team, the stable “lead pony” with his steadfast temperament and goofy outlook on life. From day one he has never changed. We are so grateful to his ownership group for their patience and understanding through kissing spine surgery just over a year ago, with ten sites needing surgical intervention and a long and slow rehab process. We had no guarantee he would ever make it back to the races, let alone anything else. We are pretty proud of this one.

Congratulations to his connections and Jacko who also rode his first winning double, his breeders and a shout out of appreciation for those who are helping us so much while we are both out of the saddle.

He went… he saw… he LOVED… LOT 122 presented by Brookview Thoroughbreds is coming home with us 🐎

FLYING ARTIE x STROAK (real saga) c**t. Impressive big type with a nice walk, a heap of early talent scattered through his immediate family and dam line including black type/city wins, we are thrilled to offer him up for grabs with perfect X-rays and clean scope. His dam was city winning black type 2yo with the only foal to race a black type 2yo and raced on at 3 to be a multiple city winner and group placed. Some shares have already gone, so if you’re keen to get on board or have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch 🐎

On New Year’s Eve Rowan ticked off a life long goal in getting his name in the history books as the third generation of HAMERs to train the winner of the King Island Cup, which is where he spent his younger years watching both his grandfathers and his father every race season. It wouldn’t have been possible with out the travelling foreperson, his father Danny, spending the time on the island doing the work preparing these horses.

Congrats to Southern Jewels connections Andrew Noblet of the Miners Rest mob, and Randy Tan on a perfect ride!

Don’t be mistaken by the picture, we aren’t training pacers, and it’s still Hamer racing, not Hammer 😂🤦‍♀️

17th September 🖤🤍💚

CHORIZAMA 5g by Jimmy Creed out of Finley Harper had much the same gear change as Barney, except he stepped out over further at the 1350 with Mehmet Ulucinar taking the steer. James wasn’t too impressed with handing up the lead to Finxy going into the back straight threatening his “head flick”, but Mehmet got him settled and kept him travelling in his happy place. Coming into the straight and being headed by the favorite we did think “ripper of a second” with a huge split to the rest of the field, BUT the stable bunny/lead pony was tough after being headed to fight back and win by half a length. Owned by Claire and Ros Pyke there was 5 of us roaring at James, and dippy roaring at Chikane which you can hear on replay 🥰

The 600m replay on tasracing shows Claire’s parents (Ros with chicken arms and Murray in the red jumper) chasing and cheering the kid to the post 😂 not a bad angle that one! (Video in comments)

10 September 💚🖤💚

Oreilly Mcluke and EBB managed a pillar to post victory with a thriller of a finish, which you can hear on the replay 😂 Blinkers on back to 1350 out of barrier 1 gave Barney as many favors he could have gotten. “Ride him like you stole him and try not to wobble off the rail” he did the wobble, but EBB rode him like she stole him and got the cookies. Congratulations to his patient connections!

I’ve failed the socials again, with life being busy in itself and the horses as well it just fell by the wayside. The four legged members of the team deserve their gig for putting their best hoof forward. We’ve had a cracker of a go lately, out of 28 runners for 8 winners and 12 top 5 weigh ins. I will be playing catch up 🥰💚

LACERATE 💚🤍🖤

Finally. Finally Louis gets a gig. 17 starts 5 seconds and 3 thirds, a myriad of niggles and issues, Ismail Toker and Louis got the job done. Jumping from a wide gate over 1009m Ismail was content to keep Louie relaxed and sit outside the leader, cruising up the straight to pull away to win by a length. On replay you can hear we don’t start cheering him home until the 50, emotional damage from a few of those placings I think 😂 thank you to his patient owners, even if a couple of you watched the race with a full b**r! No faith I tell ya 😉

To say we had challenges and issues with this horse would be an honest statement to make. One outstanding issue was his club front feet, increasing the jarring through his body and making him reluctant to change leads to give himself fresh legs in the run home to the post. We asked the same question and changed the wording with his farriery resetting fortnightly to try and correct and support. It just wasn’t quite enough. With the help and support of our farrier we changed the question. Can we go farrier trim and tips to race? Will it help him? Will his feet be strong enough? Will he wear more than he can grow? Thank you to Luke for putting up with Claire being neurotic about Louis’ feet, supporting Louis through the changes while spelling and helping keep his feet in tip top condition to get this maiden win.
