A perfect morning as Joliestar & Fangirl complete

A perfect morning as Joliestar & Fangirl complete their final gallop (with a few visitors) getting ready for The Everest & King Charles this Saturday at Randwick. 🐎🏆🏔️ #TheEverest #Randwick

‘What’s In A Name Wednesday…..’ Ichiban

‘What’s In A Name Wednesday…..’ Ichiban (Pierro-Charmont 20 G) Ichiban is a 4yo gelding by Pierro and out of Group 1 winning mare Charmont. He hails from the family of the great mare Champagne and was purchased at Karaka in 2022. He took a little bit of time and distance to find his best form but started to hit his straps this year and is only lightly raced with a metro win and two placings next to his name, as well as running in the Group 3 Rough Habit at the end of last preparation. Ichiban is Japanese for ‘number one’ or ‘the best’ and we hope to see him achieve this in a few more races! He is entered to race at Doomben today where he carries the top weight over a distance short of his best first up but we look forward to another successful preparation ahead.📷 1 @bradleyphotos

🌟 Equimillion 2024 🌟 We’re incredibly pro

🌟 Equimillion 2024 🌟 We’re incredibly proud to have several retired racehorses who were once part of our stable competing this weekend at the Equimillion! While some of these horses may have achieved more on the track than others, all have gone on to be fantastic horses in their respective equestrian disciplines. The Equimillion is a wonderful initiative that celebrates the adaptability and potential of Thoroughbreds beyond their racing days. We wish the best of luck to both the horses and their dedicated riders as they showcase their skills this weekend! 🏅 @equimillionevent @racing_nsw Competing & pictured below are: Ammahell | Anansi | Atheism | Aramayo | Chalk Stream | Cosmic Cube | El Buena | Finche | Gamesmanship | Hoylonny | Kanmoreu | Kolding | Matowi | Nature Strip | Summons | Wicklow | Wu Gok | Yiyi 📸 Photo credit: @ashleabrennan @bradleyphotos @racenet.com.au @ultimateracingphotos

The Next Chapter – where are they now? FINCHE

The Next Chapter – where are they now? FINCHE (Frankel x Binche ’14) A lot of people will remember this big, flashy stayer named Finche. Originally racing in France, he was imported to Australia in 2018 and begun a successful campaign here, never contesting anything below Group 3 level. He raced in the Melbourne Cup three times for three honourable performances, with his best result finishing fourth in 2018 behind Cross Counter. Other notable results include first place in the G3 Kingston Town 2019, second in the G1 Turnbull 2019 and third in the G2 Chelmsford 2020 and G1 Turnbull 2020. Finche is now 11 years old and currently with junior rider Zac Irwin, who gets on with the horse wonderfully and showcases another well performed import who has made the successful transition to eventing and showjumping. He will be competing at Equimillion held this weekend and we wish them both the very best of luck! This event aims to both highlight thoroughbreds showcasing their incredible talents in different disciplines and promote their life after racing.Please see below some information from Zac: “Finche is a gentle giant, he has the nicest personality. He is extremely willing in learning new skills and is very trusting. Over the past 6 months I have been schooling him in dressage, showjumping and cross country with the help of my coaches Prue & Craig Barrett. He tries his hardest and has made incredible progress adapting to the unique challenges that differ from the environment of racing. He is very athletic & has a natural talent for both dressage & jumping. He completed his first ever eventing competition at Sydney International Equestrian Centre in the Sydney Spring Classic Event in the Eva 65cm finishing in 9th on a very respectable score for a first timer. When he isn’t being schooled or competing, he is relaxing in his paddock and hanging out over the fence with Sweet Thomas.”📷 Diane K Smith, Racenet, Zac Irwin
