It has been a quiet fortnight for the stable racing wise as we go through a transitional period of horses coming and going from the stable. We have had a number of horses who have not handled the heavy winter tracks head to the spelling paddock and also our spring horses coming back into the stable to begin their preparations to race once the tracks improve, these include Fast Learner, Cinematic, Japhite, Florence Hill and Lady Henrietta. They have all spelled well and are enjoying being back in the stable with the cold wet weather.
Also re-joining the stable are yearling fillies Manhattan Rain – Madam Devine, All American – Do Gooda, Medaglia D’oro – Lunar Eclipse, Denman – La Chiflota & Hussonet – Tevez. We look forward to seeing how they progress in their first serious preparation.

Cartell has trained on well from his good run at Ruakaka, he looks on target to race again at Te Rapa on the 16th over 1200m. Biggin Hill has had a few days freshening up after running some good races on heavy tracks of late, he could race again at Ruakaka on the 23rd July.
City Boy was scratched from Te Rapa last Saturday with a foot issue which needed treatment and a few days’ rest. He appears to be fine again now and will gallop again next week.
Selfie & Top Prospect have had workouts at ¾ speed this week and are progressing nicely. Irish Missile & Rip Van Winkle - Lady Pay have completed four weeks back in work and will have their work stepped up over the next week.
Testa Rossa – Taunt Pauline has pace worked this week and is really thriving being back in the stable. Son Taari & Swissta have had a short freshen up in the paddock and have been back in the stable walking.
In Australia
Our Ventura and Hot Mustard both ran excellent 4th placings at Warwick Farm last week. The runs were full of merit considering they both drew the outside barriers in their respective fields. Our Ventura has thrived since the race and will be nominated to start at Warwick Farm on the 13th July over 1600m. She doesn’t look far off a win in Sydney.
Hot Mustard has had a week off to freshen up and will also head back to Warwick Farm on the 20th over 2400m.
With no luck whatsoever in her 3 starts in Sydney Untamed Diamond has had a freshen up in the paddock and will be aimed for an 1100m race at Canterbury on the 27th July. She just needs an ounce of luck to pick up some decent prize money for her big group of enthusiastic owners.
