GROUP 1 GLORY

It is not very often a long range plan comes off without some sort of hiccup...but the sheer relief and excitement when it does is something we will never forget after Begood Toya Mother won the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.
When Begood Toya Mother won his fourth race at Sandown in April, a plan was put into place to aim the Myboycharlie gelding at the elite race.
"Since Sandown he put the writing on the wall as the type of horse, that fitted the profile for this race," said Bowman.
Declan Bates round the race of his life at 52kg, well below his usual riding weight to hold off the challenge of Age of Chivalry and Widgee Turf.
"He just keeps improving this horse, mentally more than anything. He was a bit tricky, so they've done a massive job just to help him mature and produce him for the big day."
Begood Toya Mother was welcomed back to the winners stall with an enormous cheer from his large ownership group, which consists of 55 owners.
The celebrations for many owners went long into the night and no doubt there would've been a few sore heads the next day.
Congratulations to all of his owners!
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed in some way shape or form. Its a team effort and we are so lucky to have magnificent staff and other people that have helped along the way. These include the breakers who broke him in, the pre-trainers who dealt with him as a young horse, the dentist, the farrier, the acupuncturist, the agistment properties who have looked after him. The list goes on and on but we are extremely thankful for everyone's help!

Winner 100
So what do we know about the number 100?
Congratulations to all the owners of this promising filly. To win a race – any race so close to spring is a good sign; and to do it so easily really has us excited. Crowned Lizzy will always be our 100th winner and its an achievement that has taken us on many highs and lows to reach it.
- The year 100CE saw the invention of the wheelbarrow in China
- 100 is the sum of the first ten odd numbers (1+3+5+7+9+11+13+17+19+21=100)
- A par 3 has to be a minimum of 100 yards on the USPGA Tour
- Japan has approximately 44,449 centenarians (people living to the age of 100)
- Crowned Lizzie was Daniel Bowman’s 100th career winner

Excitement Reigns
The Memsie Stakes has been won by the likes of Atlantic Jewel, So You Think, Weekend Hussler, Sunline (twice), the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup champion Galilee, Lord (four times), Rising Fast – the only horse to win the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, Melbourne Cup treble in one year, Ajax and Phar Lap in 1931. Our very own Begood Toya Mother will attempt to join this list on Saturday.
Our star gelding will face two past Memsie winners in Humidor and Black Heart Bart, as well as four-time Group 1 winner Hartnell and the star mare of the land Alizee. The field has won about $30 million dollars in combined stakes, and now in what is the just the 2nd Group 1 runner for the Bowman stable, we are mixing it with the best and we are ready to take it right up to them.
Whatever the result, it is thrilling to have a horse good enough to run in this company. We are excited, the horse will run well, and with even luck, we will see if his best is brilliant enough to serve it up to the best horses in the land. Fingers crossed and we hope to see everyone out there for what might be an historic day.
