RUPERT CLARKE FOR STABLE STAR
Stable star, Is It Me heads to the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield on September 20th . Following two runs this preparation, the 6YO gelding aims up at the 1400m feature that holds so much significance for Daniel and his team.
In 2019, Begood Toya Mother landed the stables first Group one victory, a win that helped launch Daniel as a trainer. Eight wins from 30 starts and over $740,000 in prizemoney will forever keep his name up in lights, but the current stable star is putting up great numbers of his own.
A career best three-race winning streak at Flemington earlier this year meant Daniel’s radar was always transfixed to this race. Off the back of a solid Casterton jump out win in July, the team went interstate for a solid fourth placing over 1200m in the G3 Behemeth at Morphettville before striking a red hot G1 Memsie at Caulfield won by potential superstar mare Treasure the Moment.
With his fitness levels high, he will go to the race in very good order, but Daniel is also mindful how he races will determine the rest of his Spring program. “Depending on how he performs, we do have a few other options.”
Good luck to all his connections!

LOOK AT ME
Look At Mego broke her maiden status with a convincing win in the bet365 Same Race Multi Maiden Plate at Casterton on August 31st. Stepping out to 1400m after a close-up fourth at Mount Gambier first-up, stable rider Melissa Julius was able to deliver a lovely ride to secure victory.
After jumping well, Julius positioned the 4YO mare on speed behind the leaders before pushing clear for a strong two length win at the post. In only her second racing preparation the daughter of I Am Immortal looks to have returned a more rounded racehorse. Three runs late last year showed some promise, a second at Mount Gambier over 1200m her best effort.
With no big plans in place, Daniel is content to let her continue to develop by racing her through the grades at country level.“We will let her tell us how far she can go this preparation, just finding the right races at country level the go at this stage.”
A 2023 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale graduate, Daniel in conjunction with Bevan Smith Bloodstock paid $36,000 for the filly. By former speedy racehorse I Am Immortal, the depth of the filly’s pedigree lies through broodmare Fighting Flyer, a daughter of champion sire Fastnet Rock who sadly passed away in recent days.
Five starts for a win and second placing and over $25,000 in prizemoney has seen most of the original purchase price returned.
Congratulations to all her connections.

ARCANDAM’S WINNING DEBUT
Arcandam defied a slow start from his inside barrier to record a strong win on debut in the Mallee MRI Appeal Maiden Plate over 1200m at Swan Hill on April 4th.
The 3YO son of Nostradamus under the guidance of Tom Madden quickly mustered to box seat during the run and eventually running down long-odds favourite Sir Woodpecker from the Tony & Calvin McEvoy stable.
Owned and bred by former Racing Victorian Chairman Mike Hurst, the victory was the perfect way to start the new association. “Mike puts a lot into racing in a number of areas including breeding so it’s great to get a first-up result for him.” Daniel said. Coming off a jumpout win at Terang a week earlier, the gelding has always shown good ability albeit will take time to fully furnish. “He is still learning his craft, but we feel this son of Nostradamus has plenty of upside and look forward to his future.” Daniel added. Breeding would suggest he gets out over a trip in time, being out of Astronomer Royal mare Southern Stars.
Despite the first-up win and the May carnival knocking on the door, Daniel has no definite plans. “As I said, he still has plenty to learn, so for now I will keep him to 3yo races.”
Congratulations to breeder/owner Mick Hurst.

MOONRAKER LANDS STABLE MILESTONE
Moonraker produced a sustained finish to claim the GM Cabinets BM58 Handicap over 1000m at Warrnambool on March 28 th and in doing so ticked off another stable milestone.
The win was the stable’s 200 th after commencing back in the 2015/16 season. Some nice symmetry arrived with the milestone with good friends and a hard-
working jockey sharing the moment. Lauren Moor, wife of jockey Daniel owns Moonraker, while Melissa Julius took Moor’s seat in the saddle to land this win.
Julius with 21 wins for the stable is only second behind Declan Bates (32) across the 200 stable successes.
The Warrnambool track was also the scene of the stable’s first win with Jarrah Twist back in 2014, one of the teams 34 wins at the home base. Moonraker has only had three starts for the stable, leading all the way at Ararat to win his Maiden over 1100m with Moor riding back in February before an unplaced effort over the same trip at BM64 level at his next start at Warrnambool.
In complete contrast to his Ararat effort when leading and winning by over four lengths, Julius had to ease back early after being caught wide from her outside gate.
After snagging back to a position with clear air, she still found herself wide and with a horse looking to over-race. It was at this point around the 600m mark, that she went forward and despite the searching run, hit the line full of zest – it was a win full of merit. With eyes firmly fixed on the May Carnival, Moonraker and potentially another handful of runners could find themselves representing the team at our big race week, albeit the weather will play a part in how big the team will be.
Congratulations to Lauren Moor on Moonraker’s good recent form and a big pat on the back to Daniel, Denita and the team over the past ten years – 200 wins is a well- earned milestone.
