DOUBLE UP AT NORTHAM

Last week we took a few runners up to Northam and were lucky enough to come away with a winning double as well as a quinella result in one of the races.

As much as it is nice to win a race anywhere, nice to win two in a and quinella one of them but the real thrill came when my young apprentice rider Andrew Castle was on board one of them giving him his first ever win. It will be a day that I am sure Andrew will remember well and he can look back on in years to come with a lot of pride. Andrew has only had his permit to ride in races for less than a month however he is showing plenty of talent and I am confident that there are plenty of winners in store for the young hoop.

My two winners were COLD COMMAND with Andrew on board defeating stable mate BASKERVILLE STREET with Jason Whiting on board. Jason stepped out in the next race and landed lightly raced four year old CASTLE BLITZ a winner making it a double on the day and another winner for the Amelia Park Syndicate. He should be able to train on from here and win a few more races as should COLD COMMAND.
