BOTH COLTS SHOWING FORM

I have been singing the praises of my two young stable apprentices for a while now and I am pleased to say that both boys now have their permit to ride in races and both are up and running.

Andrew Castle has been in great form of late with a winning double at Belmont some weeks ago followed by a winning treble at Geraldton two weeks ago. As if that isn't enough he went to Moora today with a full book and kicked home a double and a couple of seconds. Not a bad effort for a young kid.

Kevin Bohorun who is a bit older but who signed up a bit after Andrew impressed the stewards and the riding masters enough to gain his permit to ride in races only 12 days ago. Kevin had his first ride at Toodyay last Sunday and then had his second ride at Northam on Thursday. He also ventured to Moora today with four rides although one did not gain a start. From his three rides Kevin ran second on his first ride, third on his second ride and ended the day booting home his first winner at the juicy odds of 14/1. Nobody has worked harder than Kevin to to get his apprenticeship and to gain his licence so I know what a big thrill the win will be for him. It is very hard to break through when you first start off so hopefully today's win will be the first of many many more for Kevin. Congratulations Kevin on a job well done and good luck to both boys in the coming weeks.

From the seven races held at Moora today the boys rode three winners three seconds and one third between them. Not a bad effort from a couple of young colts on the up!!!
