EASY LOVE broke through the $150,000 prizemoney barrier and extended the stable’s winning streak when she dashed away from her rivals at Eagle Farm. The ultra-consistent mare now has a pair of wins from her four first-up outings after she showed poise and power in Saturday’s Class 3 Plate (1400m). Having been given a very patient ride by talented apprentice Bella Youngberry, who was in the saddle for the first time, EASY LOVE sprang into life at the 200m mark with a with

INDAMOUSE sealed a Friday double for the stable when he scurried away from his rivals at the Sunshine Coast. His five-length romp in the Maiden Handicap (1800m) came at career start number eight and provided emphatic proof that the 4YO is really starting to learn his race crafts. Given a positive ride by new jockey Michael Rodd, INDAMOUSE hit the front at the 400m mark and pulled well clear of the field in the closing stages to join stablemate GROENING in the winner’s enclos

GROENING powered home under a super steer by Ryan Wiggins to collect the first win of his career at Rockhampton. The 3YO made Friday's long trip to Callaghan Park a very worthwhile exercise after returning home with the winner’s cheque. Following a clean getaway from the barriers, GROENING sat close to a frenetic speed in the early stages of the QTIS Maiden Handicap (1100m). Shortly after straightening, Wiggins peeled the son of Portland Sky to the outside and the pair eventu

TIZ WORTHY broke through for her first victory since joining the stable after flashing home at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The mare had performed with great credit at each of her first two starts in Queensland, and she duly got her just rewards in the QTIS 3YO & 4YO BM70 Handicap (1200m). TIZ WORTHY took up a more prominent position in the run under Ben Thompson, who was taking the reins for the first time. The pair hit the front at the 200m mark and held off their rivals quite c

JIMMY’S BROTHER used his home track to his advantage again when he claimed a second successive win at the Sunshine Coast on Father’s Day. The 4YO now boasts a 50% win rate from his eight starts after he showed plenty of heart under Bella Youngberry to justify favouritism in the Class 4 Handicap (1000m). JIMMY’S BROTHER blitzed his rivals by almost four lengths at his previous start, but he was made to work much harder for his fourth career victory. While the winning margin w

ROSSO LEVANTO appreciated the step up in distance and drop in grade to record her second win of a very profitable preparation at Ipswich on Thursday. Following victory at Eagle Farm two starts back and a minor placing at Doomben last time, the mare was well supported in the betting markets and she duly took control of the Class 2 Handicap (1980m) from the outset. Having left the second favourite in her wake before rounding the home bend, ROSSO LEVANTO was challenged in the h

COL BURN maintained his flawless first-up record with a tough victory at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday. The lightly-raced 4YO now has a pair of wins from his three career outings after he made light of the 61 kilos on his back to get his spring preparation off to the best possible start. Following a clean getaway from the wide gate, COL BURN found the perfect position under Ben Thompson, who was also on board for the gelding’s debut win at the Sunny Coast. It developed into a

Reformed character JIMMY’S BROTHER sealed a home track double with a powerful performance as the race favourite. The son of Zousain had done a few things wrong at his previous start, but he was on his best behaviour in Sunday’s Benchmark 65 Handicap (1000m). Punters could not have missed his lead-up trial, which JIMMY’S BROTHER won by 10 lengths, and he was backed accordingly upon his return to competitive action. Having been taken straight to the front by jockey Ryan Wiggins

RED SAMOVAR became the stable’s first winner of the new season when the mare streaked clear to shed her maiden status at the Sunshine Coast. Having lined up in city races at her two previous starts, the daughter of Russian Revolution was dropping in grade in Sunday’s Maiden Plate (1400m) and she duly made the most of her opportunity. Fresh from his convincing win in the Brisbane metro jockeys’ premiership, Ben Thompson took the reins for the first time this prep and the pair

First-up flier ACAPULCO GIRL enhanced her terrific fresh record when she registered a comfortable win at Doomben. Fresh has always been best for the mare and she duly scored a fourth victory from five first-up starts after racing away from her rivals in Wednesday’s Class 3 Plate (1200m). Jockey Ash Butler had ridden stablemate LADY LUCIFER to victory on Grafton Cup Day, and the experienced hoop promptly notched an On Track Racing double with another textbook steer aboard ACA

LADY LUCIFER scored a tough win on Grafton Cup Day to move to the brink of $200,000 in career earnings. The daughter of Hellbent now has six victories to her name after following up her narrow triumph at Doomben with a much more comfortable success at Grafton. Her new pilot Ash Butler took LADY LUCIFER forward from the wide gate, and despite working hard for the lead the five-year-old still had plenty left in the tank to justify favouritism and prevail by more than two leng

ROSSO LEVANTO came home with a wet sail at Eagle Farm to register an important first city success for her owner-breeder Gerry Harvey. Having trialled up a treat on her home track in late June, the lightly-raced mare promptly carried that momentum into Wednesday’s Class 1 Handicap (1400m). Given a patient ride by apprentice Corey Sutherland, ROSSO LEVANTO moved into a more prominent position but still looked to have her work cut out to catch the runaway leader. Once she h

KEITEL stormed home down the long straight at Callaghan Park to register a resounding win in the Rockhampton Cup (1600m). The 6YO entered Saturday’s $150,000 contest off the back of a highly creditable placing in the Listed Tatts Mile, and he duly took the necessary improvement from that run to land his eighth career win. As is customary for him, the handsome grey settled towards the rear of the field in the early stages under his new pilot Ryan Wiggins. The pair patiently

LADY LUCIFER smashed through $150,000 in prizemoney with a fifth career victory at Doomben which extended the stable’s hot recent streak. The stable now has four winners and a minor placing from our last nine runners after LADY LUCIFER clung on gamely in Wednesday’s Benchmark 70 Handicap. Having blown out the cobwebs over 1200m at Doomben at the end of May, the daughter of Hellbent stepped up to the more suitable distance of 1350m at the same venue under her new pilot, appren

WOWZINO stamped his staying credentials with a dominant victory by five lengths at the Sunshine Coast. The 4YO was ultra impressive in Sunday’s Benchmark 68 Handicap (2265m) thanks to a positive ride by Ben Thompson, who followed up his three-timer at Ipswich with another stylish steer. The pair broke cleanly from the gates and took charge of affairs from the outset, with WOWZINO settling swiftly into a nice rhythm. With several of their rivals struggling to keep pace, Thomps

WEONA REDWOOD produced a tough staying performance in heavy conditions at Beaudesert to register his fourth career victory. The 4YO son of Redwood is bred to stay, and he needed every ounce of stamina to carry 60.5 kilos to victory in Friday’s Benchmark 60 Handicap (2450m). Given a peach of a steer by apprentice Rob Thorburn, who took two kilos off his back, Weona Redwood relished the dogfight in justifying race favouritism with a one-length win. “He was very good today,”

BON VADER enhanced his excellent race record with a second successive win at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday. Having shed his maiden status over 1700m at Ipswich in mid-May, the 3YO dropped in trip to 1400m on his home track and made light of the rise in grade with another tough victory under a typically astute ride by Ryan Maloney. The favourite had loomed large in the home straight, but BON VADER was not to be denied as he fended off the challenge to register victory by hal

BON VADER broke a run of seconds with a first career win at Ipswich on Thursday. Despite racing keenly in the mile Maiden, the son of Invader was still too strong for his main rival late in the piece as he justified odds-on favouritism with a one-length win. BON VADER has been a source of frustration for much of his six-start career, but there is no denying the 3YO possesses plenty of talent and the $30,000 Magic Millions purchase has already more than paid his way for his

A patient, rail-hugging ride and a late burst of acceleration were the recipe for success as EASY LOVE flew fresh at Ipswich to score back-to-back wins. EASY LOVE had signed off her previous prep with a dominant win over 1800m, but proved she is a very versatile mare with an eye-catching win over 1350m to open her current campaign. After a slightly sluggish start Jag Guthmann-Chester took EASY LOVE to the rear of the field in the opening stages of Wednesday’s Fillies & Mares

ACAPULCO GIRL sealed a stable double at Ipswich on Friday when she extended her excellent fresh record. The mare now has three wins and a minor placing from her four first-up starts after she overpowered her rivals in the Class 2 Handicap (1100m). The heavily-backed favourite followed stablemate SLIPPIN’ JIMMY into the winner’s enclosure thanks to a textbook steer by Ben Thompson, who ended the day with two winners and three minor placings. “It was a dominant win,” said Da
