Capriccio salutes in the Inglis Dash

3/3/2021

Heading into the $500,000 Inglis Dash, we were confident Capriccio could run a bold race. But we were pleasantly surprised, when she demolished her rivals. 

"She'd improved a lot and I knew that she was getting rated off her spring form and not on how she had improved," he said.  


The three year old I Am Invincible Filly, was the third leg of a treble for inform jockey Damian Lane. Damian allowed Capriccio to find her feet at the rear of the field before peeling to the outside. She unleashed an almighty run down the outside fence to win by three quarters of a length. 

Capriccio was purchased from the 2019 Inglis Premier Sale from Esker Lodge for $300,000. 

Congratulations to her winning connections Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock, SCG Racing, Bungan Street Thoroughbreds, Ray Carey, Karen Dunstan, Mick Hunt, Paul McDowall, Peter Roberts, Lee Roberts, Kerry Thompson, Murray Turner, Harry Uwland, Trevor Harty, Jane Doolan, Judi Tainsh and Val Moors. ​

Spiritual Win

In testing conditions at Werribee, Olympic Spirit was able to add another string to his bow with a soft victory in the Spendthrift Australia BM58 2600m Handicap.

Although it is summer, the 4yo gelding ploughed through the Heavy 10 conditions to score by over 3 lengths. 
​

In the small field, Damien Thornton settled at the rear, before making a mid race move to take up the lead. At the top of the straight the race was over and done with as he careered away for an easy victory. 
Congratulations to the winning connections who have been very patient. 

Future Is Bright

The performance of Fortunate Kiss at Caulfield on Saturday was full of merit.
 
The 2yo Divine Prophet filly, finished 3rd in the Group 3 Chairman's Stakes, behind Blue Diamond favourite Enthaar. It was a courageous run by the bonny filly who was a little wayward in the home straight and had to do all the chasing.
​
Her black type placing will add value to her pedigree page for when she becomes a broodmare, but before then we hope to have a lot more fun. 
​
Fortunate Kiss was purchased from the Sydney Classic Sale last year. The sale is on again this weekend and hopefully we can add to our stable with another high class purchase. Be sure to check out our "Go Racing 2021" page on our website: https://www.djbowmanracing.com/go-racing-2021.html​​

Beyond the Maiden

2/12/2020

 
Ocean Beyond secured the $140,000 Listed McKenzie Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday. 

Not usually one to throw our horses in the deep end after a Maiden victory, it proved to be a smart move with the 3yo Ocean Park gelding defeating his rivals. 

Ridden by Harry Coffey, it was his first ride back in the city since the pandemic circumstances enforced him to have a stint on the sidelines. The break from racing hasn't deterred Harry's ambition to get back to the highest level. He rolled across from the outside barrier to sit alongside race favourite Deep Speed. Together they raced neck and neck, before Ocean Beyond was able to kick away and win. 

"It's great to see Harry get this opportunity from the owners. I first met Harry when I met my wife Denita at Wycheproof nine years ago, so it's good for him to ride a listed winner for us"

Ocean Beyond was purchased through Waikato Stud after he was passed in from the NZ Ready to Run sales last year. 

Ocean Beyond has now headed to the paddock for a freshen up. Hopefully he can come back stronger and tackle some of the richer races in the Autumn.

Hot Diggity Lickety Split Win

2/12/2020

 
In very warm conditions, Early Plea headed to Swan Hill to take on the 975m "Lickety Split". 

After beginning awkwardly, he soon mustered speed to lead the mad dash. At the top of the straight, Dean Holland urged him along and it was all over from there, going on to win by just over a length. 

It brought up Early Pleas second win from four starts. Both of his wins have been at Swan Hill over the 975m journey. 

He has now been turned out for a spell and will be back in the New Year.

Olympic Glory

2/12/2020

 
​It was emotional scenes at Terang when Olympic Spirit saluted in the Highweight Maiden Plate over 1850m. 

When Olympic Spirit arrived at our stable at the beginning of the year stable employee Nicole immediately fell in love with his unique character. Since then she has doted on him and she couldn't contain her tears as she watched his win. 

At his seventh career start, Olympic Spirit was finally able to put it all together to win by 1.5 lengths under the guidance of Lee Horner. 

Congratulations to his owners who have been patient in giving him time to mature.

Ocean Beyond

12/11/2020

 
Picture
​Three Year old Ocean Park gelding "Ocean Beyond" proved too strong for his rivals on debut at Geelong. 
Ridden by Harry Coffey, he sat just outside the leader in a  rhythm. 
When Harry asked him to quicken at the top of the straight, he put a quick gap on them, going on to win by comfortable length and a quarter. 
Congratulations to Billy, Rick & The Warriors Racing Crew. There will be plenty of exciting days at the races ahead for you all. 

Rockin Win

12/11/2020

​Last years Ready 2 Race Sales have been quite fruitful for the stables thus far. 
We made three purchases across the three sales last year with two already at the races and winning. 

Barcelona Rock was purchased from the Sydney Inglis Ready 2 Race Sale in October. 
He was purchased for $38,000. 
After sustaining a fractured pedal bone last preparation, Rocco had to have a 3 month spell with a special shoe to assist with the healing process. 
Whilst this was an unfortunate set back at the time, it has worked to our advantage. He has matured a lot more physically and matured. 


With Master Bartholdin setting a strong tempo, jockey Declan Bates was able to get an easy run just behind behind him. Rounding the home turn, he edged off the rails to lay down his challenge. 
He had to dig deep with Perfect Zed coming at him over the concluding stages. But he was able to put his nose down at the right time to get the win on the line. 

With covid-19 restrictions starting to ease, it was great to see some of his owners enjoying the win on the balcony. 
Congratulations to his owners Luke, Chappy, Josh, Heather, Neil, Cayle, Graeme, Mary, Nick Irene, David and the following syndicates Eno's Racing, Hard Men, Can't Make Training, Landslide Inc, Booligans and Starsearch. 

Thank you also to Bellarine Peninsula Thoroughbred Agisment Park for taking great care of Rocco and completing his rehabilitation.
