We have a big week coming up with all three of our syndicated horses that are racing look to have assignments.

GREY MUSTANG our first syndication lines up Wednesday after having no luck and being hampered pretty badly first up. Race 2 at Balaklava with Chad Lever on board we hope for some redemption from the grey boy this time. This should be his preparation.

Thursday we see filly CARMEN OVER BABY having a look at Ballarat at just her second start. Credit to a great bunch of patience owners in her that took the advise of trainer John McArdle and have given her plenty of time and another one having no luck last start and still managed to run sixth beaten only 3.5l which was a great effort first start and everyone was very happy with Ibrahim Gundogdo’s ride and we are happy to have him retain the ride. A couple of handy horses in the race but we expect her to run a honest race.

Australian Thoroughbreds have a day off Friday but it is still a big day for Corinna and I who have shares in Waltzes who looks ready for the sprint at Moonee Valley bypassing Albury and the Flat Knacker -again. King Diamond on target for the Albury Cup so long as its not a bog track. No reason both horses cant be competitive in their respected races.

Pakenham Cup day on Sunday where we will see our little champion OUT OF THE FIRE hit the track running and hopefully continue on with his super prep. Trainer John McArdle really has done a super job with this guy who looked to be an enigma but with a new training schedule he really has found another gear. He seems to like Dan Nikolic so we will be gunning to keep Dan on as much as possible.

Should also see our Haradasun filly hitting the track within a couple of weeks. Another trial and she should be ready. She has been improving every day and coming along great! She should have a name next week.

With EMERGENCY WARD and our Fastnet Rock filly (Should have a name real soon) both in the paddock both are expected to make a debut as 2yos and both horses trainer have nice opinions of their respective horse.

With some well bred yearlings on offer and a few horses on the track it really is exciting times for us at Australian Thoroughbreds and we invite you to join in on the fun. Feel free to give Ben a call (0488 242 453) anytime. Ben will happily go through all our horses and how to go about getting involved on a small or large level, first time or hundredth time.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR OWNERS THIS WEEK!

John McArdle – Redgum Racing

Bel Esprit / Jolly’s Folly colt

John trains the full brother to this colt an unraced 2yo that has shown already so much in his time in the stable that John was not leaving the sales without this colt. He is a strong forward type that looks like he will go early. He reminded John of the brother and we have good expectations of this colt.

Peter Macdonald

Purrealist / Our Indian Rose colt

This colt was on our list as one of the top colts in the sale. We were very surprised to secure this colt at what we consider a bargain buy and believe we got him under the radar. The breeder of this colt thought so much of him that the stud has stayed involved retaining a quarter share. I think as much as they do and Australian Thoroughbreds will be retaining a share in this colt as well. VOBIS & SABIS payed up this colt will be seeing some Victorian tracks.

David Hayes – Lindsay Park Racing

Encosta De Lago / Major Drama colt

Well with a pedigree like this it is very easy to see why we attacked this colt. Nice strong type, well conformed and walked like he was on air. Very close relation to Corinnas star filly ALINGHI. Colt with a great pedigree being trained by a trainer with a great pedigree and had the runs on the board with horses like this. Shares wont last long in this well priced yearling.

Michael Voss

Shinzig / Wavishing colt

Shinzig already putting some runs on the board early in his first 2yo season as a stallion. Out of an oaks winning mare that won from 1000->2100m and was a winner as a 2yo. Already being broken in this colt is being aimed at the early 2yo season. Being VOBIS payed up for dont be surprised seeing her skip over to the mainland for some juicy prize money.

Australian Thoroughbreds would like to thank and congratulate all owners for your support. We hope to see you all in the winners circle again very soon! Also a big thanks for Redgum Racing and staff including track rider Rowan Waymouth and Brady McArdle for keeping a special eye on our bloke!

Thanks to Taron Clarke for the great photo’s

Sachse, for trainer Peter Macdonald and jockey Mick Hoppo won the 7th race at Murray Bridge on Wednesday 22/09 in 0-62 HCP.

Dropped out the back from barrier 11 of 11 Hoppo had Sachse placed to perfection. Sitting last 3 wide with cover, the pace was a crawl, so Hoppo made a move which proved to be the winning move. Taken 4 and 5 wide round the turn on straightening then hit the lead out wide and battled strongly to the line to win by a 1/2 neck from the fast finishing Maluka Bill.

The Australian Thoroughbreds silks salute!!

On behalf of all the owners we thank both Peter & Mick on the effort they have put into this guy. I know Mick had some interesting mornings with him! Also thanks to Ella the strapper, had him looking a treat. Thanks to the Watermark Hotel staff for putting up with us, in particular me, all night until last drinks!

All the way from Strathalbyn (SA) for Kym Healy, Lotto Blues sat midfield 3wide with cover, pulled out in the straight knuckled down to hit the line hard under strong riding from Ashlee. The win capped off a double for South Australian trainers with the Phillip Cole trained Twice As Good leading and kicking for an all the way win.

Movie Mogul kicked off the start of the Stephen Theodore trained double. Ridden by our jockey Marc Munday, Movie Mogul sat midfield and was hooked out wide to find the line well to win by a head under the hands and heels riding of Munday. Hexy Legs took out the last to give Theodore two from two when the gelding was able to hold off a late challenge to win by a nose.

Well done to the winners. Congratulations to Ashlee Beer on her Cup win!!
