“Our 2014-2015 Year”
“We capture our highlights from the last racing season.”
The team had a great year on the track with 29 winners( 15.84% S/R) from 183 starters, 30 x 2nd’s & 16 x 3rd’s for an overall strike rate of 40.93% in top 3 placings.
Flemington proved the favourite hunting ground for the stable on the Metropolitan tracks with 5 winners courtesy of Madam Gangster andChoose each scoring mutliple wins and Pittsburgh Flyer. On the provincial tracks Benalla provided the most wins for the stable recording 9 winners. Many horses broke their Maiden status here; “Danvito, Evil Lil, Alsariaa, Cruise Missile & Abbreviate”. St Chloe returned to her favourite track with another win as did Danvito, Dew & Miss Hissy.
The Group and Listed races is really where we had an amazing year with our fillies and mares especially over the Autumn Carnival. The ultimate goal for every Trainer is Gr 1 racing and Fenway gave us our first Gr 1 winning the ATC “Vinery Stakes” under Blake Shinn. She finished 2nd in the Gr 1 Australsian Oaks & Sabatini ran a fantastic race in the Gr 1 1000 Guineas to finish 3rd being our only runners at this level. Other Group winners for the season came from Sabatini with multiple wins and Madam Gangster.
