The gorgeous Champagne Diblu put the talent we know he has on display at Ashburton today, winning the Agraforum Growing Innovation 3YO 1300 very professionally under Billy Jacobson 💙

Purchased out of Kilgravin Lodge's draft at last year's New Zealand Bloodstock RTR Sale, this son of Russian Revolution has been a work in progress, making the win all the more satisfying for our stable, his big syndicate of owners & Billy - who has played an integral role in getting him race-ready.

It was fantastic to have so many of you on course to celebrate, hopefully the first of many for this guy! 🎉

Queen Of Sheba was very game finishing a close second on debut, while the ever-consistent The Entertainer added another top-three finish to her record in the Rating 75 1600.

Thank you to all of our staff & supporters, a great day out on a lovely spring surface 🌿

A wonderful sight to see Mi Bella fly the gates and rocket home to win first-up by six lengths at the Phar Lap this afternoon! She showed good early speed and kept up a strong gallop all the way to the line, rated well by Billy Jacobson who does plenty of work behind the scenes 💙

Many thanks and congratulations to Brent & Wendy Cooper's Social Racing Premier Mi Bella Syndicate who race this lovely daughter of Per Incanto. We look forward to the spring and summer months with you all!

It was nice to have a number of horses resuming in new campaigns through the day, thank you to our staff and supporters.

Anna visited a very special new arrival today, Blue Solitaire’s first foal - a gorgeous filly by War Decree 🥰

She was cared for while in foal by Beaufort Downs & was foaled down in the excellent hands of Gus Wigley & team at Inglewood Stud

This clever girl placed in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas for the stable & is a half-sister to Gr.1 Queensland Derby winner Warmonger, so it is very exciting times for her owner Jasmine Casey 🥂

The fabulous Betty Spaghetti charged back into the winner’s circle this afternoon at Ashburton, taking out a competitive Open 1400m! Betty has a great record and had been building to another win, and after a patient ride from Billy Jacobson, she was able to unleash her powerful closing sprint and score by nearly two lengths. A big thank you to Robert Dennis Racing and Betty's big syndicate of owners for entrusting us with this girl, she is a very special mare in the stable with five wins and six minor placings to her credit from just 19 starts.

We were also rapt with the performance of Those Ocean Eyes, running a very close second at start two after winning on debut! Kikimora and Chloe’s Comet also performed well in the heavy conditions.

Thank you to all of our staff & those who get the our team to the races in fantastic order 💙
