Old mate Tiny
We have to admit that Tiny’s Legacy has been frustrating all of us until his overdue victory at Seymour on Tuesday. It was a welcome reward for his breeder/owner, Ross Wilkinson.

Six cogs in the team that delivered a victory for Sneakers
There are no better examples of team effort than the strong win of Sneakers at Ladbrokes Park (Sandown) on Monday. Track riders, handlers, vets, clerks of the course and barrier attendants all contributed significantly to her victory, her second of her career so far.

A little bit of magic from Cadabra
Nigel and connections were considering two races for Cadabra on the weekend: one at Caulfield on Saturday and one at Cranbourne on Friday night. It was decided to target the Cranbourne race to give her the best chance of a win, and win she did.

Getemhel returns victorious
At Geelong on Tuesday, we were excited to welcome GETEMHEL (NZ) back to the races following a beneficial spell. On the back of two good jump outs at Flemington, Brian Higgins placed Getemhel just off the leader’s hindquarters, in perfect position to be out of trouble and first across the line.
Too fast
Nigel wasn’t going to settle for a maiden race on the provincial circuit for FASTBROOK. He and owners headed straight into metro company with some level of confidence that she would perform well. And that she did.
