VATUVEI showed he was a stayer of promise, when he finished off the Listed Galilee Final over 2400m, at Mornington, and belief was high leading into the time honoured VRC St Leger, over 2800m on Anzac Day, at Flemington, that he could be competitive. What unfolded before our eyes was beyond expectations. Settling well back after drawing a wide alley, Vatuvei was travelling kindly, but some 20 lengths from the leaders, as they went down the back. Jockey, Luke Nolan, started to move coming to the 800m and, without any urging, Vatuvei went around the field to hit the lead, as they straightened up for the 550m run to the judge. He quickly put 5 lengths on the field, and Luke kept him up to the mark until the 100m, when he eased up to allow him to win by 1 ¼ lengths, in what was a superb effort. The 3rd horse was a further 11 lengths back, with the 4th horse another 4 lengths adrift. Trainer, Peter Moody, will keep his options open and may race him in Qld in the Derby at Eagle Farm on the 9th June.

CHARZED, followed on from her game 2nd at Taree, to go one better and win decisively over 1400m, again at Taree on the 7th April. Jumping well from an inside gate, Charzed was always travelling well within herself on the good track, and on straightening soon put paid to the opposition, winning by over 3 lengths. Next start was again at Taree, but this time on a rain affected track and she performed below par, not handling the conditions and pulled up distressed. She has now gone for a break. To date, Charzed has had 7 starts for a 1–1- 2 record, clearly showing a dislike for wet tracks.

ZEDLION went back to Canterbury, on Wednesday 28th March, following his success there 2 weeks prior over 1550m, where he once again raced well to finish 2nd, after a torrid run in transit. On Friday, 13th April, stepping up in distance to 1900m, he did not settle as well as we would have liked, had a tough run in transit, and did not see the trip out, Freshened up he trialled at Randwick on Friday 27th April, over 1040m, which he won. He will go to Rosehill on Saturday, 11th May in a 1500m Hcp.

BEEKMAN ARMS had his first trial at Canterbury on Monday, 23rd April, after they were cancelled the previous week due to inclement weather. Given an easy time, he got to the line nicely under his own steam. He will be given another trial at Rosehill on Tuesday, 8th May before going onto his first race start later in the month.

PURCHASE A SHARE AND RACE PROGENY FROM OUR BREEDING PARTNERSHIPS

We are offering the chance for you to purchase a share in our existing broodmare partnerships, and race the progeny which we have retained.

The first is a ¾ brother to our 2007 AJC Oaks winner, in RENA’S LADY, a strong well built colt by ARENA. From the good race mare, GLORIOUS LADY, who won at Randwick over 1800m, he will be trained at Warwick Farm, by BJORN BAKER and will be targeted towards the Blue Ribbon Classics, as a 3yo. Bjorn’s strong background with staying horses in NZ, and Derby success at Flemington with Lion Tamer ( 2010 ) and at Randwick with Nom De Jeu ( 2008), influenced us to give him the colt.

The second is a filly from the same family as the GEELONG RC OAKS TRIAL winner in KATIE LOUISE and NZ’s top 2yo of the 1989- 1990, LYCRA. Other Group performers in the family include, The Man (9 wins); Precocity( 3 wins) and Brown Eyed Girl (3 wins to date). She will be trained by JASON DEAMER, at Newcastle.

BOTH ARE VERY COMPETITIVELY PRICED - For details, call Graeme on (0407)948483 or email to gsm08619@bigpond.net.au

Caffeina has continued to build up conditioning with Jason Deamer. She has been through the gates and, all going well, we hope to get her to a jump out/ trial within the next few weeks, either at Gosford on Friday 25th May or Broadmeadow, Monday 4th June.

The AWESOME AGAIN / DEFRERE’S VENTURE filly has come to the end of her first preparation with Bjorn Baker. She has completed her early education, been through the barriers, had a couple of jump outs and will now go for a spell for 6 – 8 weeks.

The ONE COOL CAT / YOUNG VIC filly, named CELEBRITY APPEAL, has been in with Bjorn for a couple of weeks, and has fitted nicely into stable routine. A good strong filly she has been given a thorough education of stable life and has now gone for a break.

MAPHELANE has completed pre training and is back with Mark Kavanagh at Flemington. She developed nicely during the break, and has settled right back into stable life like a pro. Mark is looking to give her a jump out/ trial late May/ early June.

DALSWINTON ROAD is back at Caulfield with Mick Price, a much more settled horse after being gelded. He is working strongly and on current progress we should see him have a jump out / trial late May/early June.

MUSICAL LADY has returned to Jason Coyle’s stables after pre training at Limitless Lodge, at Wyong. She has settled back into stable routine very well.
