Hot Mustard broke through for a good win at Hawkesbury, in Australia on Sunday. He was ridden by Kathy O’Hara and was always travelling like the winner, going away at the line to win by 2.8 lengths in the C2 2000m race. It was a well-deserved win for his owners Leigh Crockford, Barry Colman and Talbot Munro.
Blue Pool Blur was almost another winner for the stable going down by a nose in a photo finish, running 2nd at Avondale on Friday. He finished the 1600m race off well, only to be run down right on the post.
Our Kismet finished well back in her 2000m race at Avondale and her owners, Gary & Lynn Witters have made the decision to retire her. Our Kismet (Zabeel - Minelli) was very consistent and although she only won 1 race from her 26 starts she also finished in the prizemoney 14 times giving her a better than 50% strike rate. She will head to Westbury Stud and be served by Makfi in the coming season. We wish Gary & Lynn all the best with her as a broodmare.

Shanzou made his return to the racetrack on Wednesday at Matamata after having time off with barrier issues. He was well behaved in the birdcage and at the barriers but found the very sticky track too testing in his first run back. He doesn’t appear to have taken any harm from the race and will be improved by the outing.
