My Tuesday:

6.30am - schooled first OTT of the day “Isleham Village”, 5yo Yulong homebred by Grunt who was flown back from Singapore.

8.30am - into the office, replied to enquiries regarding rehoming a Yulong horse, contacted a retrainer to let her know a horse we’d discussed was being kept and retired to Yulong to safe guard his future.

4pm - organised a recently retired horse’s trip to Yulong’s pretraining farm to start his retraining process.

5.30pm - schooled second Yulong OTT “Strong Trade”, 4yo by Written Tycoon.

6.30pm - open social media to be told we have no rehoming initiative and don’t care about retired horses 🤦🏼‍♀️

Anyway, if you are genuinely interested in a Yulong off-the-track horse, hit me up at our very existent rehoming email: [email protected]

📸 My two much-loved Yulong boys 💚

The win of Elite Golf brings up an elite milestone for the Price Bloodstock Management team of @jftpaddock and David Price, being the 1000th @HKJC_Racing winner for the company. 

A huge congratulations to David and Jenny. 

A special milestone that wouldn’t be possible without the ongoing support of many people & of course the horses.

Kia Ora-bred G3 Blue Diamond Preview (F) winner My Gladiola was one of the glamour fillies of Inglis Easter in 2024. Bought by @RedgumRacingfor $550k, the daughter of Vinnie & our multiple stakes winner Villa Verde was brilliant in Saturday's G1 Blue Diamond lead-up, beating a field that included several seasoned black-type fillies.

Her Pierro 1/2 sister will be offered in our draft at next month's Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. Visit https://t.co/kHF4jSpgDB for more info 📘

The 🇦🇺Thoroughbred industry lost an icon today with the passing of Peter Heagney. Mentor to many of us he was the ultimate professional in the sale ring and great fun away from it. Thoughts with Helen and their sons Sam & Will along with all who loved him ❤️🙏

[Jonathan D'Arcy @JonathanD1867]

@Tattersalls1766 @shirlsy Congratulations Shirley, great job in a high pressure setting. Look forward to seeing your career progress in leaps and bounds 👏👏🥂

Recent @inglisdigitalus purchase Lucky Girl (IRE) is set to contest the G2 Yellow Ribbon Hcp at Del Mar & is looking very relaxed ahead of the assignment. Best of luck to @PhilDamato11 & co - we're looking forward to seeing if she can add another stakes win to her record🤞

[Jonathan D'Arcy @JonathanD1867]

@GaiWaterhouse1 Mr Altomonte will be remembered as one of our best breeders and most respected participants. 2 Slipper winners, an Easter sale topper and a host of stakes performers from a small broodmare band. Our thoughts are with his family as we remember a life well lived. 🙏
