Congrats on the 1-2 Joe.

We’d started the year on fire, unfortunately our Stakes runners absolutely bombed over night to bring us down a peg.

Biggest disappointment was the flop of GCh. Highland Rime (6yo, Frosted) 14th in the Pegasus World Cup (Gr. 1) He’s one win away from Stud qualification, having just turned 6 I’m worried the form ‘cliff’ that we see at 6yr old has bitten him as he ran a long last :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Once again our Stakes runners disappointed. I need to learn to resist the temptation to enter our horses in Stakes races, but, when you have a horse that has won or placed 2nd or 3rd in each of their last few non-Stakes races, it seems only fair to try them against the big boys or girls. Besides, with more than half of our active runners qualified for Allowance races or above only, it is harder to find Allowance races for all of them.

I find myself when they come in for a spell if the next available race is overseas (away from Aus) I just ship them there in they have they campaign over there.

Otherwise I’d have too many horses sitting around not getting raced.

I’m always trying to test them in harder races till they find their level.
