The stable had a stellar day at Ascot on Saturday! WATERMANS BAY, under the steadier of 59.5 kilos, ran a super race in the budget.com.au Handicap over  1200 metres, only being collared by the lightly-weighted Classic Emblem near the line. DU PRINTEMPS was even more unlucky in the Budget Minibus Rental Handicap over 1000 metres, as he was beaten by only a long neck despite suffering interference from>>Read More

The stable had only one runner at Narrogin on Friday, SATELLITE CITY  in the Narrogin Hyundai Maiden over 1100 metres. The State City gelding had been a perpetual place-getter in better class fields, so not surprisingly he was made an odds-on favourite in this race. SATELLITE CITY jumped well for jockey Glenn Smith, and settled in 2nd place behind the pace-making Chez Joey. After climbing the hill,>>Read More

The first crop of 2 year olds by new sire SCOPACIRI are just hitting the race track. Last week SCOPAWIN and ELITE SCOPE both won Larkhill trials impressively, and on Saturday ELITE SCOPE ran in the Westspeed Plate over 1100 metres at Ascot. The flashy-looking filly put in a most pleasing performance to finish 4th behind the much-vaunted Looking Ahead. Jockey William Pike was impressed by ELITE SCOPE’s>>Read More

The highlight of the annual Butchers Picnic meeting on Australia Day in Bunbury was the $50,000 South West Summer Sizzle over 1200 metres.

Miss Dandy, the favourite, set off to make all, and still led entering the home straight. LE SACRE, meanwhile, had been settled>>Read More

After his promising  run last meeting, FULL REIGN was the popular pick for the DBC Evertender Beef Maiden over 1200 metres. The race was run at a cracking pace, so William Pike settled FULL REIGN back in the field. Hurricane Hound tried to make  all, but William had the race under control well out. He brought FULL REIGN with a strong run down the middle of the track to pick up the leader easily,>>Read More

The team performed well, and finished up the day with a winner, two very close 2nds – SATELLITE CITY and RAGTRADER - and two promising 4ths, FULL REIGN and PURSE SNATCHER. Our winner was the much-improved LE SACRE, who completed a hat-trick of successive wins when he took out the Rossiter Painting Contractors Handicap over 1100 metres.>>Read More

The race was run at a good clip, but Glenn Smith settled LE SACRE at the rear of the field, and waited until the straight before closing on the leaders. The horse gathered in the leader Twists of Fate easily to win by a comfortable>>Read More

We had only one runner at Ascot on Wednesday – DU PRINTEMPS in the perthracing.com.au Handicap over 1200 metres. The Oratorio gelding was unfancied in the betting, behind warm favourite Catalantic. After exiting the barriers, Jason Whiting positioned DU PRINTEMPS in  4th place on the rails, just off the pace. He patiently waited until a gap opened up at the 200 metre mark, and pushed the horse>>Read More
