Group 1 Winning Trainer Tom Bamford - Loburn, New Zealand

09/11/2026

🏁 New Zealand Trotting Cup Eve 🏁

One of the proudest moments of my short training career was getting George (Rakero Rocket) in the field last year. We had a far from perfect build up but to have him there on the day was a massive thrill for myself and the team behind me.

No runners on Cup Day for us this year as we have been replenishing the stock and have a bunch of nice 2yo’s and yearlings to attack the years to come!!

Best of luck to all involved!

Group 3 glory for the 2yo trotting fillies tonight and we have a strong chance in the race!

💬 Be a pretty nice way to break maidens tonight in a G3, Phoebe has trained on sharply post last weeks tidy 5th where she was back and wide. Kinder draw tonight, we will leave it up to Robbie, he knows her well and will give her every chance to be in the finish.

Good luck to the Justforfun Syndicate who bred and race Phoebe!

💬 Super debut run in the G3 The Sundon for 2nd. The run has sharpened her up and she’s trained on well. Drawn wide so will look to slot in the running line and have her running on at the finish!

Good Luck to Connections!

Trip to the Met as an owner and got the choccies 🍫

10/10 steer from James, going to be a hard act to follow up next week!

She’s always showed that she’ll be winning a few, just had to take our time! Here’s hoping it’s not the last 🥇

So proud of our wee Phoebe (Out of Sequence) for running a bold second on debut in the GREG & LEIGH AYERS 'THE SUNDON' 2YO CLASSIC at group 3 level. We are excited for the future with this filly, and are so pleased for the loyal ownership group. 💚💙

We go Group 3 racing for the 2yo trotters!

💬 Very exciting for the Justforfun Syndicate to have a horse they bred and own on debut tonight and in a Group 3! Phoebe as she is know at the stables, has drawn 1 tonight which should give her a nice run along the pegs and hopefully see her trot to the line strongly! Against some handy boys is never easy for a filly let alone on debut, but we will target the fillies trots with her, tonight will be a wonderful learning experience for her.

Good luck to connections!

🟢🔵 It’s Raceday!! 🔵🟢

Tonight we take a team of two to Friday Night Lights at Addington Raceway.

🐴 Always Thinking
🧍‍♂️James Dunn
💬 Trained on really well since her debut run on the heavy Methven track. Drawn the ace so will make use of it and put her in a handy spot turning in which will give her a chance to run in 3.

💬 Tonight Tim goes home a winner, winner of the NextGen 2yo start bonus for his ownership group. Takes on the best in the land tonight but he will head to a nice paddock post tonight and come back a lovely 3yo.

📸 Myself, Always Thinking and James Dunn who makes his Friday Night Lights debut!

Good luck to all connections!

Back to the Rangiora Trials on a rainy Thursday with our 2yo Trotting Filly Out Of Sequence (Phoebe)

Seems to have come through last weeks run well, will look to give her a quiet run today just for a bit more experience which will aid her before her first race day start.

💬 On debut and been given the carpark barrier draw in 9. Will get back and be a great learning experience. Hope to find the line better than he has been in his recent trials.

Good luck to all connections!

Qualifying Trial for our wee 2yo Trotter about Of Sequence or Phoebe as she is known around home!

Lovely wee girl who we are hoping to do the complete opposite to her race name and stay in sequence and get her ticket to be a race horse.

Got some 2yo Fillies trots lined up for this girl so hopefully we are one step closer today.
