A big shout out to these four legged athletes who are copping the brunt of this putrid heat and humidity! 🥵

While we all do our very best to shield and support them through it, the reality is that some will tolerate these conditions better than others. Some will actually thrive in it, while others are simply doing their best to survive in it.

Also a big shout out to everyone behind the scenes who are getting up in the early hours, sweating through their days and doing everything they can to keep these horses comfortable, healthy and happy. It’s bloody hard going at the moment, for both horse and human!

Next time you put a bet on a horse expecting it to “just sh*t in”, please remember that these are living, breathing athletes doing their best in some pretty trying conditions.

A little appreciation and understanding for both the horses and the people who care for them goes a long way. In summary - it’s bloody hot! 🫶💙😎

Off to Burdekin Race Club with one runner - ‘Tower’s Hill’. Tony the Pony gave us the biggest thrill when he won his Maiden at Townsville last start over 1400m and is fronting up in the BM50 1180m today.

We are hoping to give Julie Busuttin a winner as a belated Birthday present as it was her birthday yesterday 🎉

Good luck & safe racing to all 💙

Sunday racing at Cluden Park with 2 runners fronting up in the blue and white for the team.

Nottington Prince has been so consistent this prep and gets some weight relief by stepping up to Open company over 1000m. It’s a big jump in grade for him but I’m sure he will competitive.

Then Intruder is hoping to go one better int the BM65 mile than his close 2nd last weekend. He draws a lot better today and hopefully will back up well.

Good luck & safe racing to all 💙🤍💙

Well! What a terrific day with great results from the team today. Tony the Pony was a very tough win aided by a spectacular ride by Aidan Holt. Tony has been a real test of patience, time and money but it was all worth it today!

He wouldn’t have come as far as he has without the help of Terry McGovern looking after his feet, Stacey for her magic PEMF treatments, Bonnie for her perseverance to make this fella into a racehorse, Enrico for putting up with ‘Tony the Pony’ antics and his wonderful owners for showing faith in us. A big thank you to Yabulu Spelling and Pre Training for doing a beaut job of getting Tony fit for us early in his prep and handing him over in great order.

Then Rudy ran an enormous 2nd to go down right on the post. It was a huge effort with a while between runs and he showed great heart 🫶.

Thank you to both horses for really putting in today and I couldn’t be prouder of them 💙

We have two runners today at Cluden Park (yes, another Sunday meeting!).

Tower’s Hill has been consistent for us and steps up to 1400m in the Maiden. He has drawn a bit sticky but Aidan Holt is the right man to navigate from a bad barrier!

Then we welcome newcomer, Intruder to team. Rudy has come to us in great order from Big T (Tony Comerford) but also has a yucky draw (11 out of 11 with the rail out). Mitch Goring knows the horse well and I’m sure whatever Rudy does today, he will only improve on.

Good luck and safe racing to all 💙🤍💙

We are on the road South to Bowen Turf Club today with 3 runners.

Tower’s Hill steps up to 1200m in the Maiden Plate and gets to have his chance to pick up another cheque for his ever patient owners.

Then Nottington Prince is backing up after his blistering win last Sunday and steps up to the Class 3 over 1280m.

Finally, the big boy Knuckles is having his go in the Bowen Cup over 1810m and is looking to improve on the 3rds that he has run in his last 3 starts.

I’m sure they will have a good crowd at the races and I hope to see some of our owners there today. Good luck & safe racing to all 💙🤍💙

A super day for the team with 2 starters for a win by Nottington Prince and a brave third by Fistsoffury. Thanks to aidan_holt for a ‘miracle’ ride on Bayley and also jhbusuttin for coming all the way up for one locked in ride and did well on Knuckles.

Thank you so much to all of the team behind the scenes and Bonnie (especially) & Tattaum who put the polish on these horses.

We are thankful to come home safe and sound and have some good results 💙

Our boy, Knuckles 💙💚👊

We are off to one of my favourite annual meetings today at Ewan Races with 2 runners.

Tower’s Hill ran a super 4th for us first up at Bowen last week and is going to have to show some dash in the Maiden over 820m.

Then Better Breakout will be hoping to keep improving on his consistent record in the QTIS BM65 1300m.

It looked like there was a huge crowd there yesterday and I’m looking forward to see a lot of friends and friendly faces there today.

Good luck and safe racing to all 💚🖤💙
