We have had a great start to the New Season with three winners. Everard kicked things off storming home at Scone for a very strong win and looks to have a nice future. She is part of an exciting crop of three years old horses that include Zizzis, Our Long Sali and Golden Script. Our other winners were Not Surprising and One Invincible Cat. These two mares are by Yarraman Park’s outstanding sire I Am Invincible who could well be Australia’s Champion Sire this season. These three horses were purchased from the Magic Millions January Sale.

It was great to see Five Star Gal produce some of the form she has displayed at home being narrowly beaten at Sale. John Moloney has said for some time she would need 1600m to start to show her best and on yesterday’s forward showing that may be the case.

Reneged is set to run at Randwick on Saturday but we really need some rain to see him perform at his best. He handles the dry tracks ok but is much better in soft going. Zelsignoret is off to Tatura on Saturday where she looks well placed with Eiffel Star likely to head to Swan Hill on Monday.

It was disappointing to see the meetings at Wodonga and Goulburn abandoned due to the state of the track after heavy rain fell in Wodonga and an issue with an irrigation pump caused sections of the Goulburn track to be under water. Zelsignoret and Kissing Game were short priced favourites in races at these meetings.

Not Surprising as a yearling!!!

One Invincible Cat as a yearling – beautiful filly – now a winner!!!

We have had great success over the years purchasing weanlings and yearlings prior to Christmas and syndicating them to our clients for much less than they would have cost if they had gone through a yearling sale the following year. Invincible Al is one of these horses, Other good performers syndicated in this fashion include Pitt Street, Too Many Reds, Believe n’ Achieve, I Am Magic and Eramor.

We are offering two nice horses at present by the successful first season sire Sizzling going to Patrick Payne and the new boy Super One, a son of Champion Sire I Am Invincible heading to Darren Weir. You can check these out on our website:

These promotions have been very well received by the market with about half the shares remaining. All our yearling purchases from the 2017/18 Season have been fully subscribed and we thank our clients who have supported us so loyally, in some case since 1997.

Our star three years old filly Zizzis is set to trial at Cranbourne on Tuesday with her being one of three fillies in our team to be nominated for the MRC 1000 Guineas to be run in October at Caulfield. I regard this as Australia’s premier three years old race for fillies. All being well Zizzis will resume in early September.

She is a member of a strong team of three years old we have which also includes Our Long Sali, Golden Script, Everard, Five Star Gal and Addocarr.

Zizzis winning the 2018 Adelaide Magic Millions!!!
