AVUNCULAR

Nice type of two year old who had two starts for a close up second and an even closer up third. Had some minor changes in one knee which has meant we have had to stop on him and maybe undergo surgery. off the scene for a while.

Latest News

What do I need to say about my old mate. He is back in my Ascot stables and in full work. He had a few issues after Adelaide including a major colic attack however all looks good with him at the moment. No set plans however a trip east again would not be beyond him.

MY BONNY LAD

Very capable galloper who had some minor leg issues and needs a long spell. If we can keep him sound he will win a nice race.

YOUNG LIONEL

Nice horse who has had a few setbacks requiring surgery. Has now done about six weeks work and is going along well. Should be ready to trial at the end of December then hopefully take to the races in January. A real nice type.

KALLISTIKAT

Capable filly who has had more than her share of leg issues. None of them major but all requiring more time. If she makes it to the races she is capable of winning.

SAXON COAST

Didn't come back as expected last prep and has been sent back to the paddock. Will be back in the Autumn.

DON'T STEP ON ME.

Had a short preparation making it to trials but pulling up shin sore and heading to the paddock. Has now done about five weeks work and should be ready to take to the races in mid January. Nice type.

CALENTURE

Has been in work at Amelia Park Farm since mid November and is progressing nicely. Should be back at my stables in mid to late December.

ALOHA SPIRIT

This filly has caused us a few problems with poor barrier behaviour. She appears to be heading the right way now. The filly has had three runs, winning at Belmont at her second start in a race. Has done plenty of slow work and should be ready to resume racing in late December or early January.

CHARCOAL ROSE

Lightly raced 3yo filly who was a good Saturday winner for us this season who is now enjoying a winter spell. There is a lot to like about her and I am looking forward to seeing her get back to the race track December.

HOT SASSO

Failed to live up to what she showed in training. Back in the paddock but with a few question marks against her.

PRIMA VISTA

This filly has not lived up to the promise she has shown in training and has been sent to stud.

ENDORSED

This filly is back in the stables but still a few weeks away from a return to the race track. More than capable of picking up a Saturday race.

SMOKIN DRAGON

We have had more leg issues with this top class galloper and he has been retired. Enjoying life as a hack.

VALLEY GIRL

Hasn't quite returned to the form she showed last preparation however she is a talented filly and  is capable of surprising sooner than later. Is not big so struggles to carry weight. May be another one who prefers the firm tracks in the summer. Will be given a good spell and be back at the races in early autumn.

DON'T SAY BOO

Won three city races for us in his first preparation for our stables and proved to be a real surprise packet. Having a short break and should have no trouble stepping up to Saturday company next campaign.

AMELIAS DANCER

Back in full work at Amelia Park and ready to come back to our city stables soon. Could develop into a very handy performer this campaign.

AMELIAS DANCER gets up in the last few strides to wear down the favourite  for a brilliant win with stable rider Jason Whiting on board producing one of his classic sit back rides.

A very proud DION LUCIANI leads his first winner AMELIAS DANCER back to scale after his victory on Saturday. An equally proud old man looks on keeping an eagle eye on the situation.

LETHAL JONES

This guy is now back in work and is being set for the W.A. Derby. May be aiming a bit high but I do feel he will stay all day when he matures.

EXCLUSIVE HONOUR

Has been very consistent since winning first up and has had a few minor issues to overcome. More than capable of winning Saturday races. Likely to run again on either December 12th or 19th.

ALMOHAD

We couldn't overcome his problems and the horse has been retired. A real disapointment as he should have been my third Perth Cup winner.

WILD CHARGER

Back at my stables after a short spell and some pre training at Amelia Park Farm. Looks good and a real chance to win a nice race.

AYTOZED

Back in the stables after a virus enforced spell. Capable of winning in Saturday company this preparation. Racing in January.

LITTLE LARRIKIN

Won two races last campaign and should appreciate a short break. Likely to be hard to beat in similar short course races next preparation. Back at the races in March.

SWING

Had a few hiccups during her preparation and is now back in the paddock. Will be set for easier races next campaign to help her gain some confidence. Back in March.

JACKSON ROCKS

Won one race last preparation and is now having a short spell. Capable of doing better than he has and should put a few on the board next campaign. Will be back at the track in March.

LACIE

This mare has been retired to stud.

GROZNY

This horse has had surgery and will be off the scene for a few months. Likely to be back around January.

MAKE ME BLUSH

This filly did not come back as expected and we have decided to give her a bit more time in the paddock. Hopefully she will regain the excellent form she displayed in her first campaign. We hope to have her back on the track in January.

BASKERVILLE STREET

This mare has been retired to stud.

LONGSTRIDE.

Only had one start and is now back in the paddock. Has shown he will make the grade when he returns. Likely to need 1400m or further.

SOFTEIS

Another lightly raced son of Saxon. Was placed at his only start however he trained off fairly quickly and was sent to the paddock. Has shown ability and can make the grade if he matures during his break from racing. Looks best suited over 1400-1600m. Won't be back at the race track until the end of the year.

PACK YOUR BAGS

Showed above average ability before a spell then required surgery for a knee problem when she resumed work. After a good spell she came back to my stables only to develop an upper airway problem. Has had further surgery however her future is in the lap of the gods at this stage. Hope to resume work in October with her.

MASTER MCRAE

This unraced son of Saxon is now back in full work and ready to return to my stables. He promised plenty in his early work but failed to live up to the promise in his trials. Suffered from a lot of shin soreness and was quite colty in nature. Has been gelded and given plenty of time to mature. Mid to late September debut.

SAXON KNIGHT.

Very leggy type who will benefit from a bit more maturity. Like a lot of the Saxon stock, he shows plenty but maybe a season away from displaying his best. May have another run this preparation or he may go straight to the paddock and stay there until he has strengthened up and developed.

GINGER LYNX

Unraced filly who is well related and has shown some genuine speed in her work. Was set to make her debut before having a few soundness issues and going back to the paddock. Providing I can get her sound she is capable of winning races. Won't be seen this side of Christmas.

GALAXON

Another unraced colt by Saxon. Only had one trial and was ready to race before showing signs of shin soreness and going back to the paddock. May take a bit more time to get the hang of things but is a nice type. Wont see the race track until November.

FRIDAYS GIRL

The mind boggles as to just how good this filly could have been. Only lightly raced but has already won two races, her last win being in Saturday company. Has had more than her share of soundness issues but has a great will to perform. Unfortunately this filly hyas gone amiss again and her racing future is up in the air. May go to stud this season or may have surgery and try to make it back to the track.

DON'T TEMPT ME

Unraced colt who has shown in training and in his trial that he will make the grade. Is back in work now and should be ready to take to the races in late August or early September.

DUE PROCESS

This lightly raced filly is back in the paddock. She is a big girl who has shown plenty in training but has taken a while to mature into her big frame. I expect her to measure up to city company when she is over her growing pains. 

CHERRY CHA CHA

Unraced filly which has had more than her share of setbacks to date. Between viral problems, allergy problems, shin soreness and maturity issues, its fair to say that life hasn't been a bed of roses so far for this filly. All going well we now have her nearly ready to take to trials and ready to race at the end of July.

BABY GLAM

Lightly raced filly by Oratorio from Glamourzon. Has shown enough in training and her early few race starts to say she can make the grade. Is currently spelling and won't resume work until August.

BIG BROWN BEAR

Was a major flop when racing first up at Ascot in early December. We will play with his gear to try to sharpen him up before we head back to the races with him.

CAMPOBELLO

This horse developed an upper airway problem which has required surgery. He has shown above average staying potential and I feel he is still capable of delivering on the promise he has shown.Should be back at the races in mid to late December.

CHIRON

Dissapointed and has been moved on.

KLASY SPY

Due to a system malfunction I am unable to remove this horse. The horse is now racing in Kalgoorlie.

DEEMED PRICELESS

Due to a system malfunction I am unable to remove this horse. She has been retired to stud.

Due to a system malfunction I am unable to delete this horse. He has been moved on and is currently racing in Victoria.
