Up on the Gold Coast this morning to see our two mares one last time before they head through the ring on Tuesday. Both look an absolute treat and have been presented in pristine order by Yarraman Park.

Proud trainer, with our star mare Stretan Angel leading the way.

Back-to-back in the G1 SA Derby. What an absolute thrill! 🏆

Wigmore delivers for us this year in testing conditions, bringing up another Group 1 for the stable alongside our great supporters in OTI.

We purchased him in conjunction with the OTI team off a tough run in the New Zealand Derby and always felt he had the right profile. So to see him come to Australia, settle in, and produce this performance just 8 weeks later is a huge credit to the horse and our team!

A big thank you to our ownership group who backed us in with the purchase, it’s results like this that make it all worthwhile.

A tough, genuine stayer and we’re very excited about what’s ahead for him.
