NEW STABLE ADDITION WINS AT KALGOORLIE

Recent stable addition Shane Gilchrist did not take long to get back into winning form when successful on Bold Conquerer at Kalgoorlie today. Shane has shown good form in the saddle over the past few seasons, however a stint in Melbourne recently had to be cut short by illness and injury. Shane returned home last week and he was keen to spend some time at a city stable before ending his apprenticeship later this year. He is currently on loan to me and we will reassess thing in about six weeks.

Shane was lucky to pick up a nice book of rides today replacing Chloe Chatfield who was unable to fulfill her rides. I am sure Shane will take a lot of pleasure from the win. We have had plenty of top class apprentices come through our stables over the years and it will now be up to Shane to put his head down and work hard at becoming the next one. If he works hard at it the results will come his way as he is a talented rider who still has a 3.0kg claim. In this caper you only get out of it what you put into it!!!
