QUIET WINTER MONTHS

During the past few months, we have been going through an unusually quiet period in comparison to previous years as far as winners produced. We have made a habit of having our better horses out spelling during the winter months and relying on our late developers and less qualified horses to keep the winners ticking over during that period.

Unfortunately a lot of the late developing horses have failed to measure up even when given the extra time to mature, which has left us a bit light on in the winners department. Having been down that path before, I know what its like to have a quiet winter however I am confident that over the next few months we should be able to change the recent stable trend.

Our handful of runners for the new season have all run encouraging races with BLACK HABIT and PRINCESS AMELIA both running second while FOUND AND KEPT ran a great race first up on Saturday and two lightly raced maidens running promising races last Wednesday. I hope that one of those horses, VAIN NOVERRE can get starts when we step him up to 1600m and further as he looks a promising staying type.

Over the next few weeks we will not have a lot of Saturday runners with only BLACK HABIT, FOUND AND KEPT and GUYNO all set to step out however there are a lot of young unraced or lightly raced horses coming through which we hope will take the next step for us and develop into city winners with time.

Unfortunately when the stable is having a quiet time there is not a heap of news to be posted on this site however I hope to change that over the next few weeks and months!!!
