DOUBLE DELIGHT AT THE MOUNT

24/6/2022

Culily Ace
Last Sunday the stable headed over the border to Mount Gambier with a team of four and full of optimism.

That anticipation was rewarded with a double, Culily Ace and Moon Over Alice both recording their third career victories.
With a distinct liking for winter tracks, both were suited on the slow track that was presented.

Culily Ace was first-up since October and franked her solid trial form with a win in the Scott Group of Companies BM68 Handicap over 1323m.
The 5YO daughter of Bon Hoffa was well ridden by Caitlin Jones, settling just off the pace before running way for an easy three length victory.
Starting at $11, the mare defeated South Australian trained gallopers Short Stories and Unlimited Ability.
The stable also saddled up Honour De Hero in the race, but after settling on speed she faded to run seventh.

Moon Over Alice made it three rain-effected career successes with a strong win in the TAB Class 2 Handicap over 1223m.
The resilient 3YO daughter of Your Song is deep into her current preparation, but the come from last victory suggests she can win again this winter.
Neil Farley settled the filly well back before a searching run soon rounded up her opposition.
Starting the $3.20 favourite, she defeated Last Dream by 1.7 lengths.

Our other runner was the lightly raced Our Sparkle who ran an even race to finish midfield at her second start and first run since January.

Congratulations to all our owners in both winners!

Prince Salutes Despite Slow Start

14/6/2022

Plans to lead and dictate the race with Magnetic Prince were aborted after the barriers opened in the last at Casterton on Sunday.
Thankfully a great ride and terrific determination by the horse secured a second career win, when railing for victory in the Tasco Petroleum BM64 Handicap over 1400m.
A natural on speed galloper, Daniel hatched a plan with Laura Lafferty to lead around the tight circuit. But after missing the start, he explained that Laura had to revert to Plan B.
“Yes the plan was to lead and win, but that went out the window early, thankfully Laura didn’t panic and settled into a nice rhythm out the back.”
It was a brilliant ride and despite being put under pressure from the 600m to improve, Daniel was impressed with how the horse responded.
“Local knowledge helped Laura, she knew going wide wouldn’t help, cutting the corner and keeping momentum was needed. To the horse’s credit he still had to pick up and did so very impressively.”
The 4YO son of Magnus is still learning, but Daniel believes with time he can eventually make it to mid-week level.
“We will look for a similar race, maybe even check the calendar for a race in Adelaide. I think he can make it to mid-week Melbourne level, but that might not be until next preparation. He still does a few things wrong as we seen on Sunday.”

Congratulations to all his owners Steve, Mark, Harry, Frank, Domenic, Chris, Chris, Luke and Chris.  ​
