In a recent interview with Dave Stanley, Doug takes a moment to reflect on the mighty mare ASGARDA and his two biggest career achievements to date - winning the Country Championships and running in the $2m Kosciusko.

ASGARDA showed us just how tough she is. From 27 race starts the results speak for themself:

🥇 7x wins
🥈 4x second place
🥉 1x third place

🏆 2024 Country Championships Final winner
🏇 5th place in the 2024 Kosciuszko
🌟 SDRA 2024 Horse of the Year
💰 $909,125 in prizemoney

ASGARDA is now in training with John Sargent. There’s no doubt that we were sad to see her go. But no matter her journey, she will always hold a special place in the hearts of everyone involved at DGR. If she’s not quite up to the city riches then she’ll be home to chase more country glory!

We can’t wait to see what more she can achieve throughout her terrific career.

Today marks a whole year since we won the Country Championships with our mighty mare ASGARDA. 12-months ago we were at Royal Randwick feeling excited but nervous about our chance in the big race. ASGARDA turned that day into one of the best days of our racing career to date! The sheer joy and excitement as she crossed the line showing the whole of NSW Country Racing that she had exactly what it took to win such a big race.

This race is such a great initiative for country racing and is something we all strive to win.

Good luck to all the contenders today! Enjoy the day. Enjoy the moment.

"This is his best chance to win a big race like this.”

The trainers of our Evergreen Turf Country Championships Final 🤠contenders have the last say on their chances in Saturday's $1m race at Randwick. 👇

Congratulations to the connections of ASGARDA, Kooringal Stud and jockey John Kissick on the win yesterday at Albury 🥇

With a heavy 9 track and a race run to suit our mighty mare took out the race like a walk in the park. We loved having her back in her element and watching her once again win with ease!

We’re excited to have ASGARDA back and racing after a very well deserved break. We can’t wait to see what she can do this preparation 🏇

We’re back in the big smoke today and racing at Rosehill with ASGARDA. After a sensational effort in The Kosciuszko we will contest the TAB Handicap over 1300m. ASGARDA showed how tough she was last start after coming from last and finishing in 5th place. She flew home and was the second fastest horse for the last 600m. Thank you to everyone for your support and we look forward to today!
