Slot holders should look no further than Ticklebelly when tickets are drawn this morning. Excellent first-up run at Randwick on Saturday in a deep race. She went into that with no trial and will improve greatly off the run. Handles all conditions, Randwick form too!. #Kosciuszko
Don’t forget about this girl slot holders. Races well at Randwick ✔️, enjoys all conditions ✔️, tough on-pacer ✔️, brings the right form with key Kozi rivals ✔️, set to peak after first-up run ✔️, market support $51 into $15 ✔️. Ticklebelly ✔️ all the boxes @richieplz@daveystan1
After six placings in a row Ischyros gets his breakthrough maiden victory at Bathurst today. The blinkers went on and the gelding attacked the line to win easily by 4 lengths. Thanks to Tom Kelly for his support and patience with this guy and of course Mathew Cahill for the ride.
First-up crush! Deep Shimmer continues to build a neat strike rate, now a two time winner in just five starts. Congratulations to the Apps family in the ownership. Big thanks to @AlyshaCollett who was a big part of the stable today and rated this filly perfectly. @jockeyrr
16 winners at 13.8% for the season has been a great achievement, but it’s the 5 Metropolitan winners we’ve had as a small country stable that has been so satisfying. Thanks to all the hard working team at home, our regular riders and of course the loyal owners.
5 from 5! We know there’s bigger challenges ahead but we are just loving the ride this horse is giving us so far. Congratulations to all his connections. A big thanks to the team at home and @NickHeywood8 to land the money @royalrandwick yesterday. #WeHaveAMountainToClimb ⛰
Some wins can be more special than others for certain reasons. Hobbsy named after Scott’s father, breaks his maiden status @Nowra racing today. @NickHeywood8 delivered the prefect ride to get the result for a terrific bunch of connections.
There’s no denying it. The hype surrounding up-and-coming star Mogo Magic is very much real.
In his toughest test to date, the unbeaten three-year-old withstood an early speed battle & still put a good field to the sword in Saturday's Highway at Rosehill.

Nick Heywood’s win on the Scott Collings-trained Mogo Magic in Saturday’s Highway was his first in a Highway since 2018, where he coincidently partnered with champion country galloper Handle The Truth, who at the time was trained by Collings in partnership with Keith Dryden.
Heywood could appreciate the similarities between his metropolitan wins for Collings and hopes to continue the success.

The Magic show rolls on! As a small stable you often dream of training that one really good horse, we might just have ours. Congratulations to all the connections and of course @NickHeywood8 who’s been a big part of the process with this horse. #MogoMagic
Master Joe continues his love affair with his home track recording his third win @goulburnraces today. Congrats to the Wilden-Constantin family in ownership. Thanks to @NickHeywood8 for another winner and of course the hard working team at home.
Back to back for Jack! He’s been a work in progress but we feel he’s getting better every start. Congratulations to the Stewart family for their loyal support in ownership. Thanks to Nick Heywood for some precision rides on this boy and of course our hard working team at home.
A gutsy effort by this lovely Deep Field filly to record her first win on the testing heavy track @ThoroughbredPk today. Congratulations to the Apps family who bred and own the filly. Big thanks to @AlyshaCollett for another winner for the stable. 🔴⚪️
It’s a Barty party! London Gal aka Barty wins by a space @goulburnraces today. We took a punt to buy her back at the recent @inglis_sales and she delivers a big win for the stable and her new owners. Super ride @AlyshaCollett we finally break the duck with you in the saddle!
A bit of magic from Mogo @royalrandwick today in the highway. The patience from his connections to wait for today pays off with an easy victory. Huge thanks to the team at home and of course to @clarkyhk to stick with the horse after being booked before xmas!
Master Joe does it at both ends to break his maiden @goulburnraces. 61kgs first-up it was a tough win after a very god debut preparation. Congratulations to his connections for their loyal support of the stable over a number of years. Thanks to Jeff Penza for the winning ride.
Mogo Magic remains unbeaten with a soft win @mtcwagga on Monday. Congratulations to all his connections, very exciting most were trackside to enjoy the victory. Thoughts with Nick Heywood who had a tumble a few races later, Nick has ridden two faultless races on the horse. 🥇🥇
Ten Bells with her 6th career win in just 11 starts @newcastleraces_ today. She's just a gem of a mare for all her owners and the team at home. A big thanks to Jason Collett for his pinpoint ride today. Winners win!!!
What a debut win by Mogo Magic! Thanks to the ownership group for being so patient as we waited for the right race and track conditions to let him loose. Special thanks to @NickHeywood8 for heading there today for the one ride.
