Racing:
Good news to report on the racing scene with Heavenly Flyer taking out a heat of the Vicbred Sires race at Kilmore before having no luck in the semi-final a week later. She backed up again in the consolation and had a tough trip sitting in the death seat before being beaten 13 metres. She has done a terrific job this time in and has now headed to the paddock for a well-earned break. Piastri resumed his 3-year-old career with a good first up 4th placing followed by back-to-back wins at Shepparton and Wagga. He looks to have developed even further and has furnished into a nice horse. Seaside Elegance commenced her racing career in NZ with a very unlucky sixth before finishing third after leading at Cambridge in 1.54.0 beaten 1.5 metres in a heat of the NZ Sires Stakes. She has since developed a hoof abscess and has gone to the paddock for ten days which still should give Jeremy enough time to have her ready for the $200,000 NZ Sires Stakes final at Christchurch on Show Day. At this stage she has qualified for the race it will be making sure we have enough time to have her fully fit and ready to go. Sweet Kova has also gone to the paddock for a short break, and I expect she will be back by early October. Brightly Blaze has put in tow very good runs in Tasmania finishing fourth and a second place and will run this coming Sunday at Launceston. As mentioned last update We Dealin Diamonds has been retired and will head to stud.
