    @mariner4life @SammyC

    That's awesome news.

    SammyC What are your horses? Standardbred or Thoroughbred?

    I know Mariner is going into a Thoroughbred. Have you purchased yet?

    Tell us more!

    We have Solomon running today at Hastings. He is there for match fitness more than anything else as he is 8 weeks between runs due to small hiccups.

    Polly Grey Will be racing again soon and Sussex has her first jump-out on Friday which I am looking forward to as she appears to be a nice enough Tavistock 3 year old.

    Well we had our first option come through just now (way cheaper than that one i was hawking to you while a bit pissed), so the hunt is on! I'm pretty pumped to be honest

    Mate, it is thrilling!!!! So what is the breeding of the one you have purchased? Are there sales on at the moment or is this a private purchase?

    Private. Have a trainer scouring the land

    Out of Sydney, no good in the metro, mum did alright though

    It's the first one we have looked at, so no guarantees (haven't bought yet mate, but it'll probably happen in the next week or so).

    Stoked for you! It's such a buzz when your horse runs, let alone wins.

    Even though I don't hold much hope for Solomon today, I am still amped for the run. I will still back him too.

    one of the guys already has one, and even though we know it's not going to win, we still back it every single time. When it did win it was awesome, and it's not even my horse!

    Harness Racing Mate 🙂 you probably look down on that kind of stuff in the North Island (and justifiably so).

    I'm well aware of how rigged it is, but it's not a huge amount of money, and it's just a bit of fun for me.

    Our horses are 2 year olds at the moment, so not racing yet. That should happen next season.

    There are 3 horses in the syndicate... 2 are looking likely at this stage.

    My folks breed and train Standardbreds so I would be a hypocrite to look down on it. They bred Better Cover Lover which was a nice wee filly. 🙂

    They have a 2 year old trotter (I think, maybe a pacer) that is looking quality so I hope it goes as well as it trains.

    Let us know when you have your first starter, as I love to support a horse that there is even the slightest interest link to

    Solomon ran as expected. Leader and then faded and came in blowing a hurricane so that is good.

    He certainly needed the run.

    He got home at 11pm and went straight to his feed bin and didn't budge from it which is a great sign.

    Our horses are 2 year olds at the moment, so not racing yet. That should happen next season.

    I've had shares in 4-5 (1.6% of each) over the last 18 months. Unfortunately, they haven't really gone to plan (other than one maiden win from one, and a "walkover" win from another when all she had to do was turn up to the course). I'll let you guys know when one is looking half likely (the one who won last month is having a few months' spell)

    I also just got in on the Own The Moment Syndicate with Southland harness trainer Kirk Larsen. We bought two colts at the sale:

    • a Somebeachsomewhere out of One Dream (she won $900,000 and was the best 2&3yo of her year) and;
    • A Mach Three out of Miss Elsie (who won $150,000 or so, was placed in several group races & has left some good horses already).

    As they're yearlings, they'll be probably a year or so away - the Somebeachsomewhere colt will probably be race-ready first by the sounds of it.

    Looking to make a two year old?

    We have a Tavistock Filly that will jump out on Friday for the first time. I'm trying to not get excited by her but she does everything so well currently.

    Both their mums raced at 2 & 3, so hopefully. The SBSW-One Dream colt is pretty athletic and in proportion which is why he's expected to be kicking along earlier.

I'll let you guys know when one is looking half likely (the one who won last month is having a few months' spell)

    I also just got in on the Own The Moment Syndicate with Southland harness trainer Kirk Larsen. We bought two colts at the sale:

    • a Somebeachsomewhere out of One Dream (she won $900,000 and was the best 2&3yo of her year) and;
    • A Mach Three out of Miss Elsie (who won $150,000 or so, was placed in several group races & has left some good horses already).

    As they're yearlings, they'll be probably a year or so away - the Somebeachsomewhere colt will probably be race-ready first by the sounds of it.

    Looking to make a two year old?

    We have a Tavistock Filly that will jump out on Friday for the first time. I'm trying to not get excited by her but she does everything so well currently.

    Both their mums raced at 2 & 3, so hopefully. The SBSW-One Dream colt is pretty athletic and in proportion which is why he's expected to be kicking along earlier.

    Excellent! Jewels and then Derby for the boy and Oaks for the filly! Yay!

    Your filly, I assume...

    Sorry, I didn't read yours properly, I though you got a colt and a filly. I see they are both colts.

    That's awesome news.

    SammyC What are your horses? Standardbred or Thoroughbred?

    I know Mariner is going into a Thoroughbred. Have you purchased yet?

    Tell us more!

    We have Solomon running today at Hastings. He is there for match fitness more than anything else as he is 8 weeks between runs due to small hiccups.

    Polly Grey Will be racing again soon and Sussex has her first jump-out on Friday which I am looking forward to as she appears to be a nice enough Tavistock 3 year old.

    Harness Racing Mate 🙂 you probably look down on that kind of stuff in the North Island (and justifiably so).

    I'm well aware of how rigged it is, but it's not a huge amount of money, and it's just a bit of fun for me.

    Our horses are 2 year olds at the moment, so not racing yet. That should happen next season.

    I've had shares in 4-5 (1.6% of each) over the last 18 months. Unfortunately, they haven't really gone to plan (other than one maiden win from one, and a "walkover" win from another when all she had to do was turn up to the course).

    It'll be an ask for our boys from Southland, but hopefully they measure up. I'd be happy with a runner or two in the Kindergarten Stakes next season. And then maybe DOMINATING the Forbury winter circuit the following year...

    Yeah seems a pretty capable horse eh!! 😍

    Was good to see someone try and run a different sort of race against her. Happy Clapper had a solid lead at the 600 and Hughy looked like he knew he had to wind her up. Did it with ease in the end!
