Past Results
Here are the current results for horses we either own, bred or are watching as they are from the immediately family of horses we own.
Champagne Sunday (Vespa x Outlay)
Media Miss (Press Statement x Grandissima)
Result: 11/01/24 - 1st Whanganui
Champagne Sunday showed what he is capable of with what turned out in the end to be an easy win. Never sure of which Champagne Sunday will turn up on the day, we had nothing to worry about with his front running for back better than ever.
Result: 26/03/23 - 1st Masteron
Media Miss broke maidens at start 7 today, beating home a small but competitive field at Tauherenikau. Taking charge at the 400, she broke clear and was almost run down late but showed a brave heart to hold on for win #1.

Glide Queen (Alamosa x Tai Chi Queen)
Result: 09/04/21 - 1st Manawatu
​
Excellent front running ride was the winning of todays race at Awapuni. Leading from the front basically the whole way, GLide Queen proved too quick over the 1200m distance for all including our other running Champagne Sunday who came 4th.

Glide Queen (Alamosa x Tai Chi Queen)
26/12/20 - 1st Manawatu R.C.
Glide Queen finally broke maidens with a great ride by jockey Temyia Taiaroa. Rated perfectly out in front from a wide draw, she went to the front immediately and was never headed.
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
17/10/20 - 1st Penang Turf Club
Penang R3
Three on the trot now! Another great front running victory. Stealing a break on the turn, he put 6 lengths on them until the legs got a bit tired as a result of backing up so quick. That and he was carrying 6kg more than the 2nd placed horse. Belle Fleur has a Proisir filly on the ground for us and shortly to drop a Jon Snow foal!
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
11/10/20 - 1st Penang Turf Club
Penang R8
Mr O'Reilly goes back to back winning his 2nd in a row . In a race run almost identically to his last win, he jumped well, took over at about the 800m and ran away from them with ease. Great result for our mare Belle Fleur, her Proisir filly we have in the paddock and the Jon Snow foal she is soon to drop for us!
Savannah Cloud (Savabeel x Annie Higgins)
13/09/20 - 1st Cranbourne
Savannah Cloud (Savanbeel x Annie Higgins)
Cranbourne R2
Going out $1.80 favourite, Savannah Cloud at just start number three showed plenty, winning by 5.5L easing down. Annie Higgins the dam is the only half sister to our very own Belle Fleur - plenty to like about the future of this family!
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
12/09/20 - 1st Penang Turf Club
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
Penang R2
Finally his first win on the board! After previously winning and being relegated under protest, this time round proved no problme for the son orf our mare Belle Fleur. He had them covered reasonably easily after the turn and never looked in danger.
Weboughtazou (Zoustar x Princess Emmy)
30/08/20 - 1st Sunshine Coast
Weboughtazou (Zoustar x Princess Emmy)
Sunshine Coast R5
Win number 5 for gelding out of a half sister to our mare Pentina. Very nice run fresh up and was the eventual winner by a length, signalling a bright season ahead.
Mirth 'n' Music (Domesday x Privacy)
Result: 31/05/20 - 1st Pinjarra
Mirth 'n' Musicl (Domesday x Privay)
Pinjarra R4
SNice first win for the son of Privacy, who is a half sister to the Puccini filly Rosa (Puccini x Bremer Bay) we recently purchased. Sitting well off then, a beautifully timed run saw the 4yo gelding win with relative ease at the hands of Kyra Yuill. A good sign of things to come.
Midge Maisel (Ocen Park x Testella)
Result: 15/03/20 - 3rd Woodville
Midge Maisel (Ocean Park x Testella)
Woodville R5
Solid run for the daughter of Testella in the 5th at Woodville. In a small but even field she galloped well and showed enough that a little more distance will be right up her alley.
Weboughtazou (Zoustar x Princess Emmy)
Result: 06/03/20 - 1st Sunshine Coast
Weboughtazou (Zoustar x Priness Emmy)
Sunshine Coast R2
Dominant performance justifying his $1.20 favourite price. Bringing up win #4, the result is nothing but good for the 3 offspring we have in the paddock out of Princess Emmy's half sister Pentina.
Jimmy James (Savabeel x Annie Higgins)
Result: 15/11/19 - 2nd Ruakaka
Jimmy James (Savabeel x Annie Higgins)
Ruakaka R7
Tidy effort and good back up to his last start win. He is still quite green and a little unsettled as they ran for home, He will only improve again on this race and all looks good for a bright future for the gelding out of Belle FLeur's half sister Annie Higgins.
Bruno Stars (Thewayyouare x Rhyme)
Result: 14/11/19 - 2nd Awapuni
Bruno Stars (Thewayyouare x Rhyme)
Awapuni R5
After a change of ownership and stables, it's taken Bruno Stars a few runs back to see his form return. Stepping up in distance certainly helped and with a clear run would have won. Congrats to new trainer and connections Craig Ivil.
Jimmy James (Savabeel x Annie Higgins)
Result: 30/10/19 - 1st Te Aroha
Jimmy James (Savabeel x Annie Higgins)
Te Aroha R2
Great result breaking maidens for the 4yo gelding out of Annie Higgins - the half sister to our mare Belle Fleur. Going out second favourite, the money was on point as a nice ride from Sam Collett bought up win number one, and I'm sure the next is not far away.
Flash One (O'Reilly x Sentura)
Result: 21/9/19 - 1st Selangor
Flash One (O'Reilly x Sentura)
Selangor R4
Sentura the daughter of our late mare Trickery was to the fore again on the international stage with her O'Reilly son Flash One just taking out race 4 in Malaysia. That's win number 7 for the 8yo who is out the half sister to Trixie by Danger Looms we have in the paddock.
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
Result: 21/9/19 - 4th Selangor
Mr O'Reilly (O'Reilly x Belle Fleur)
Sleangor R9
Tidy effort and best placing to date for the son of our recent purchase Belle Fleur. Competitive throughout the race he sat off the leaders back throughout before battling on at the close. He will take improvment out of the race and sure to be close up next start.
Holburt (Tavistock x Sentura)
Result: 20/9/19 - 1st Kyneton
Holburt (Tavistock x Sentura)
Kyneton (AUS) R6
Very nice first win today for Holburt (Tavistock x Sentura) in Australia today, leading from go to whoa. The two runs this prep have shown he was desperate for more ground and stepping up to the mile today he duly delivered. Out of Sentura (out of our late mare Trickery) this is positive for Trixie the yearling half sister to Sentura

Result: 04/8/19 - 1st Sandown

Master Poet (Mastercraftsman x Rhyme)
M4 Singapore R2
Master Poet the 3yo gelding out of our mare Rhyme came from last to have the field covered easily and break maindens at Wangaui.
Covering the most ground of any horse, he looks like he might be a regular in the winners circle soon.
Odi Et Amo (Danger Looms x Frisky Dansker)
Result: 30/6/16 - 1st Wingatui
Odi Et Amo (Danger Looms x Frisky Dansker)
M6 Wingatui R6
Odi Et Amo capped off a good last couple of runs today with a great performance to break maidens at Wingatui today. Showing that he would like even more ground than todays mile, "Dan" hit the front where it counts the most and while not good for the heart, was great for his faithful band of supportes!
Lake Huka (guillotine x Royal Cashel)
Result: 24/6/16 - 1st Singapore
Lake Huka (Guillotine x Royal Cashel)
M10 Singapore R8
Lake Huka bought up win number 3 for his owner / trainer Laurie Laxon on Friday night. Coming from off the speed he was able to negotaite traffic and finish too strong for the competition and take his winnings to over $100k SPD.
Bang (Danger Looms x Kilitristran)
Result: 21/04/16 - 1st Woodville
Bang (Danger Looms x Kilitristan)
M4 Woodville R8
Fresh up from a summer spell, Bang showed that 1600m was no problem when he came from well back on the turn through traffic to claim the last at Woodville today. Jockey Matt Cameron said he could have gone around again and he had trouble pulling him up. A good sign that when he gets over his preferred 2000- 2200m he will be quite a handful for the competiton!
Notionannigans (Kings Chapel x Annie McBride)
Result: 21/04/16 - 1st Woodville
Notionannigans (Kings Chapel x Annie McBride)
M4 Woodville R7
Notionannigans makes it win 3 for the career and win 2 this campaign. Taken straight to the front by jockey Robbie Hannam, she was never headed.
Kicked clear at the turn and did enough to hold off the fast finishers. Nice result for the Grand-daughter of our mare Royal Cashel.
Odi Et Amo (Danger Looms x Frisky Dansker)
Result: 14/04/16 - 3rd Wingatui
Odi Et Amo (Danger Looms x Frisky Dansker)
M6 Wingatui R2
After showing plenty in training, Odi Et Amo put his first hoof in the till with a solid run for 3rd at Wingatui. Taken straight to the front to keep out of trouble, he fought on well on a journey which was always going to be too short (1200m).
Pleasing signs for things to come from Odi.
Lake Huka (guillotine x Royal Cashel)
Result: 20/09/15 1st (Singapore )
Lake Huka (Guillotine x Royal Cashel)
M18 Singapore R2 #2
In almost an identical replay of his first outing, Lake Huka managed to finish one better and break maidens. Despite giving the 2nd and 3rd place getters plenty of kg's difference (5kg and 10kg respectively) he managed to come from near last to run them all down. Still a bit green and will take improvement from this run.
Slipslopslap
Result: 09/03/16 - 1st (trial)
Slip slopslap (Danger Looms x Sunblaze)
North Cantebury Trials
After a spell, Slipslopslap has returned to the trials track and taken out his heat in relatively easy fashion, winning by 3 1/2 lengths for owner trainers Tarsha and Michael Stokes. Looking forward to seeing the trials form replicated on the track soon!
Capella
Result: 05/03/16 - 4th Grp 1
Capella (Rip Van Winkle x Limerick)
Group 1 NZ Derby
What an eyecatching run from the half sister to our broodmare Rhyme (Spinning World x Limerick). Giving them 6L at the 200m mark she flew home to just miss out, finishing 0.5L off them in a great finish to the big race. Now heading for the Austrlain Oaks in Sydney and must rate a big chance.
Bang (Danger Looms x Kilitristran)
Result: 02/07/15 - 1st
Bang (Danger Looms x Kilitristran)
M4 Wanganui Race 5 #4
First time stepped up over ground and success for the 5yo gelding trained by local trainer Jack Scott. A length and a half to 2nd with a further length to 3rd, followed by daylight.
Mourinho (Oratorio x Benvolent)
Result : 26/09 1st Grp 1 Underwood
Mourinho (Oratorio x Benevolent)
M12 Caufield R7 #5
Probably the toughest test to date and he came through with flying colours. 3rd at the turn, he ranged up and held the challengers at bay. A great finish with 3 in the photo, and Mourinho holding on by half a head. Stakes earnings grow to over $1.3m AUD. Great result for our mare Bellisent and this family.
