What an amazing Bega Cup Carnival at Sapphire Coast highlighted by Direct Fire winning the 150th edition of the Bega Cheese Bega Cup🏆🔥. Leading all the way and toughing it out in the straight after having to do some work early, Direct Fire aka “Drake” proved too strong with a great ride by Amy McLucas 🥰.
We had an awesome weekend starting with the Expo on Friday night, Calcutta on Saturday night and culminating in a great night at Lakeview Hotel on Sunday following 2 fantastic days of racing at Sapphire Coast Turf Club. The committee at Sapphire Coast Turf Club are to be commended on hosting a fantastic carnival 👏.
We had a successful weekend, not only winning the Cup but also collecting 2nd placings with Yes Isla Yes and Master Riley, whilst Sebastian’s Flyer and Champ De Fleurs were 3rd place getters. A big thank you to all of our owners and friends that came out over the weekend, especially those that had travelled long distances. As always it is a team effort but I would especially like to thank Shane Evans from Connected Horse Transport for getting our horses safely to the races and home, Sonya and Shaun for looking after our horses impeccably at the races and to Sonya, Michelle and Lauren for the amazing job they did in setting up our table at the Expo and putting together our “show” bags ❤️😍. Congratulations to our owners and again a big thank to all that celebrated with us and we hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as did 🥳
