We will remember them!

Lest we forget ❤

Today we honour the courage and the sacrifice of all who served, both those on two legs and four 🐴

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them ❤️

The mighty Bonecrusher still proving how amazing he was! ⭐️

Only two horses have ever completed the prestigious New Zealand Derby and Australian Derby double 🤩

The first was the legendary Bonecrusher trained by Frank Ritchie. After claiming the New Zealand Derby in 1985, he battled his way to victory in the 1986 Australian Derby and cemented his place in racing history.

Mongolian Khan was a stable star for the Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman partnership and became the first horse to complete the double in 29 years winning both features in 2015.

Could Willydoit be the next to join this elite club? 🔥

Today we had the pleasure of hosting the TAB Racing Club as part of their tour around Cambridge. They got to have a look at 2yo filly ‘Transcend’ that we train and who is part of the TAB Racing Club.

The weather was definitely not playing its part but hey, we need the rain 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for coming everyone, we hope you had a good time 🙂

It’s been a great thrill to have the beautiful ‘Bell’ with us for as long as we have- she sure gave the team plenty of reason to celebrate on many occasions!

Now it’s time for the next chapter, and we are certain she will produce some magnificent babies❤️

Thank you to Pencarrow Stud 🙌🏼
