Naivasha 20180328 2

Naivasha settles, and scores

Posted on March 30, 2018April 11, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

Rounding the home corner, Naivasha lengthened stride beautifully rounding the field to hit the front a long way from home. And she simply kept going!

Distant Sky 20180327 2

Two in a row for the little guy Distant Sky

Posted on March 29, 2018April 11, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

Again at Sportsbet-Ballarat, Distant Sky stepped out in the Porter Plan BM64 1200m event and was impressive in winning his third race.

Pretty Mama 20180321 2

Pretty convincing

Posted on March 22, 2018April 1, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

Pretty Mama’s win at bet365 Park Kyneton was a convincing one, with the daughter of Pentire showing a clear liking for the extra distance of the 1850m Miranda Park Stud Maiden.

Christie 20180318 1

Christie sings to victory at Yarra Valley

Posted on March 22, 2018March 27, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

Stepping up to 1950m after two runs at 1600m and her strong closing second placing over 1850m at Kyneton four weeks early, Christie started a warm favourite at Yarra Valley and duly saluted for connections.

Distant Sky bolts in

Posted on March 12, 2018March 12, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

Nigel has been adamant for several weeks now that Distant Sky has finally matured. As a five-year-old it has been a decent wait for connections, so today’s win at Ballarat was a well-earned reward for their patience and persistance.

Solid recent performances, with improvement to come

Posted on March 3, 2018March 3, 2018 Blackiston RacingPosted in News

In recent weeks our stable runners have generally been performing very well. 21 of our last 25 runners have run top 5, including wins for Big Pat’s Pontiac and Arthurian. But it is the 10 second-placings that are proving a frustration!
