💚🩷TULLY HART🩷💚
A special filly delivers our team a special win. The 2YO is out of our mare Lady Bethany & has overcome the odds just to make it to the track, let alone be a city winner.
Rapt for everyone involved. We know there are more chapters to write in her story.
Huge effort since day one by the @TzaferisRacing crew with Tully & all the challenges she’s faced since birth.
Cannot recommend the ownership experience with Jess & James highly enough!
Dual-licence trainer @TzafJess couldn’t hold back the tears as Tully Hart stormed to a brilliant win at Murray Bridge on Saturday. Story: @tylermaund 👇

Wonderful afternoon spent amongst @smfc royalty.
L-R Peter Tsolakis, Joe Palatsides and Bruce MacLaren, all part of the 1991 NSL championship winning team. @smfcmike 💙🤍
Two U.S. Navy EA-18G Growlers from Electronic Attack Squadron 129 collided at around 12:10 p.m. Sunday during the first show since 2018.
All four crew members ejected safely.
Footage captures the moment the jets made contact in flight.
It is 6.40am on a Tuesday in May. The BBC weather, on the radio in the kitchen, has promised sunny intervals. Brian, looking out at the fell, sees Doris already in the lee of the wall, head slightly down, wool flat against her left side. He puts down his mug. He reaches for his coat. By 10.30am, the rain has come in horizontal off the fell, and the BBC has updated the forecast.
Doris was twenty-six minutes ahead.
She is, by Brian's working tally, twenty-six minutes ahead on about 70% of weather changes.
Sheep have, anatomically, several reasons for this.
A coat of wool that responds to humidity at a level of measurable precision. Wool fibres swell by approximately 16% in diameter at high humidity. A sheep moves slightly differently in damp wool than in dry wool, and Doris has been doing that calculation in her own body for her entire working life.
Olfactory receptors significantly more numerous than the human equivalent. Sheep smell the change in the air long before a human notices the cloud has started to lift.
Barometric pressure sensitivity, well-documented across livestock species. Doris can feel a storm coming before the storm is visible from the gate. She does not know it as a forecast. She knows it as a slight discomfort, and she addresses the discomfort by moving to the lee.
Behavioural rules of thumb developed across millions of generations: lie down before rain, find the lee before wind, move uphill before flooding, move downhill before heavy snow. These are not chosen behaviours. These are the heritable wiring of an animal that has, in the British uplands, had to be right about the weather for ten thousand years.
Brian has, on the farm next door, been watching the flock for thirty-one years. He has observed Doris's behaviour against the BBC forecast more times than he can count.
The BBC has not, to our knowledge, attempted to recruit her.
The BBC's loss.
The forecast said: sunny intervals.
It is, by 10.30am, raining.
The sheep was right.
The sheep is always right.

We followed Lot 74 from @millparkstud into the ring at this year’s Adelaide Magic Millions Sale, and it’s great to see this Acrobat filly staying in SA with @TzaferisRacing
Even better, shares are available in her at https://t.co/Fcs5KiGPrS
A reminder when getting the violins out for Grace Tame losing 5 figure corporate speaking gigs, that due to the cause that she got the pom poms out for, Matilda - unlike her - won’t get a chance to recover
Tully Hart was born a dummy foal, but with the love and support of the @tzaferisracing team, defied all odds to thrive.
Keep an eye on this miracle filly in the Listed Cinderella Stakes at Morphettville this weekend 💚♥️
Tully Hart (Royal Meeting x Lady Bethany) and She’s Iconnic (Nicconi x Leaven of Malice) will fly the flag for our young stable in Saturday’s LR Cinderella Stakes.
We pride ourselves on education and preparation of young horses so it’s a thrill to have 2YOs in feature races.
Our little miracle Tully Hart debuts at Morphettville tomorrow. Win or lose, we are proud of how far she’s come after a very tough start to life and grateful to everyone that has been a part of her journey 💚🩷
@GemmaTognini I was lucky enough to travel on both through France and Italy in October Gemma. The Italo was a lot more comfy but we nudged 300km/h in the “Red Arrow” which was a great experience.
