💬 Won 4 from 6 public appearances to date, only runner drawn of the 2nd row. He’s a really progressive son of Always B Miki who i think will develop into a nice horse. Will learn a lot tonight but one to keep an eye on for the future.

We have bought again at the Christchurch Sale ✨

This lovely upstanding son of Always B Miki joins the team out of a half sister to the good performing Double Jeopardy.

Purchased by a group of mates, very much looking forward to getting him home and starting his education.

You Bid, You Buy 🐴

That’s what we have done and secured a lovely strong c**t by Downbytheseaside. A sire doing wonders at the moment so a pleasure to have one join the stable.

Really excited as he has been purchased by a bunch of new clients to the stable. Looking forward to getting him home and starting the education process with him.

Exciting day for myself with my first breeding adventure alongside my father hitting the Addington Raceway Track for a trial.

🐴 Little Major
Sky Major x Ideal Grace

Eric as he is called round home has really come on this prep so i thought he had earnt himself a trip to the trials. Settled out the back but as the speed clapped on Goose said his gate went rough, managed to get him to the 150m before losing him but the experience will hold him in good stead. Travelled in great for c**t having his first trip off the place and his manners were perfect in the cross ties.

He will be gelded and tipped out for a well earnt holiday.

Friday Night Returns and so does the Rain ☔️

Two Daughters of Sweet Lou represent the team tonight. Both nice top 4 chances if they can get the right trips.

💬 Great run from last to finish 3rd last start at Ashburton. Seems bright and ready to run another good race. Look for her closing late in the piece.

💬 First day at Marlborough was poor, second day was much more like it on a wet grass track. Back to the grit, good barrier with only a front row. Will drive her to find the pegs and hit the line.

Update on our 2025 Purchases:

Sweet Romance (Sweet Lou x Bettor Romance)
💬 Tim’s currently in work and has worked down to a mile in 2.15. Really happy with him, nice nuggety little c**t who gets about his work. Look to head to a learners workout in the next couple of weeks.

Always B A Star (Always B Miki x Runaway Star)
💬 Nat as she’s know is currently in the spelling paddock. She did a lot of growing last time in so thought we would give her the time to really develop into her frame. Worked down to 2:18 as a yearling at the end of last prep. Shes reall looking great now and will look to get her back into work next month.

Blenheim day two! Let’s hope for some sunshine today…☀️

🏁GROVE TAVERN HANDICAP TROT
🐴 Rakero Ace
🧍🏼Robbie Close
💬 A less than desirable run the first day from Paddy, becoming quite the head scratcher this horse. Hoping to see him get around in one piece today.

🧍🏽‍♀️ Sheree Tomlinson
💬 An okay run on day one, possibly didn’t gel that well with the sticky track. Blinds back on today, and we hope to see her clear maidens very soon.

A rainy road trip to Blenheim for the weekend with two horses in the float! ☔️

🐴 Rakero Ace

💬 Off 30 meters against the maiden’s, hoping a trip away will aid in maturing him. Ability is there just needs to bring his manners.

🏁 SYNCROFLEX MOBILE PACE
🐴 Sweet Espresso
🧍🏽‍♀️ Sheree Tomlinson
💬 Nice confidence building 3rd last start, she will improve off that run. Looks on paper to get a cosy run on the fence, should see her running on late.
