@sconeraceclub@SkyRacingAU
Handy wet-tracker🔹HULU🔹out to continue her terrific preparation 🏇✨
〰️ 1500m BM82 Handicap -R7- 〰️
The in form mare returns to one of her favourite venues today, boasting 4 wins from 7 visits to @thebrookracing
Brave winner of the transferred 1300m Aberdeen Cup at Scone last start & draws to nicely in gate 3 with @Aaronbullock90 again aboard 💪👇
Some nice chances to go round at @sconeraceclub this afternoon ✨🏇
🔹 NOT MEE - 1000m Country Boosted Maiden -R1-
Race debutant by Headwater who has drawn ideally in barrier 1 and gets her chance to make a positive start to her career in a small field.
🔹 LEOVANNI - 1300m Maiden Handicap -R4-
Fitter second-up after an encouraging Super Maiden run at this track and trip, with Mitchell Bell taking the ride from a good gate.
🔹 NOT WRITTEN OFF - 1100m BM82 Handicap -R7-👇
Returned in terrific order first-up at Muswellbrook and has the speed and second-up profile to be right in the finish again.
🔹 JAGERSCHNITZEL - 1300m Country Boosted BM58 -R8-
Ultra-consistent gelding who has placed at all seven starts for the stable and looks suited stepping to 1300m second-up.
🔹 DANCES WITH HOOVES back to town…
〰️ 1600m F&M BM78 Handicap -R4- 〰️
The capable 5YO heads to Royal Randwick today, stepping up to the mile third-up after two solid runs this preparation.
She drops sharply in weight from her 2nd-up Scone Country Cup effort carrying 61kg, draws well in barrier 2 and gets the benefit of Braith Nock’s 1.5kg claim.
A proven performer at the trip and looking to make her presence felt.
Did you see 5YO mare HULU’s gutsy win in today’s Shorty Cribb Aberdeen Cup @sconeraceclub ? 👀🏆
Produced by right on time with a masterful ride by gun man in the saddle @Aaronbullock90 🤩
🧨💥 A dynamite display from horse and rider!
🔹HULU🔹claims today’s Shorty Cribb Aberdeen Cup at @sconeraceclub with a masterful ride from @Aaronbullock90 🏆🤩
Caught in a bad spot throughout, the tough mare showed her trademark tenacity to dig deep and prevail in a hard-fought finish.
👏That’s win number 6 for the stable and takes her career earnings towards $175k.
🏇 One runner for the stable today @sconeraceclub
🔹 HULU - 1300m Shorty Cribb Aberdeen Cup -R5-
The honest mare was originally set to contest this race at Muswellbrook before the meeting transfer and now gets her chance on home turf.
She comes off a brave 3rd in the Scone Country Cup after covering ground throughout from a wide draw. Back to 1300m, with Aaron Bullock aboard, she goes on well on Heavy ground and will look to continue the good form that saw her win the Tamworth Cup Prelude earlier this prep.
🎪🏇Mare in perfect form targets home-track Saturday Sprint at the @sconeraceclub Carnival!
🔹DUROVA🔹 〰️ 1100m BM78 -R6- 〰️
Fresh since completing the Muswellbrook Skellatar Sprint double in March, the progressive 4YO brings a remarkable record of 6 wins from 7 starts for the stable into today’s target assignment.
Jockey @AshMorgan6 who knows her well sticks from barrier 5 as she looks to continue her rise against another competitive field.
〰️ 1400m Vinery Country Cup BM84 -R8- 〰️
🔹 DANCES WITH HOOVES
Tough mare strips fitter second-up after working home strongly for 3rd in the Jackal at Tamworth three weeks ago. The rise to 1400m presents nicely now and she has already proven herself in affairs of this order, highlighted by her Mudgee Cup success last preparation. Ashley Morgan rode her to success here in the 1600m HWY two carnivals ago and partners again today.
🔹 TAIPAN LEGEND
Coming off a Wellington Cup run where things didn’t go to plan, the 5YO will look to roll forward as he usually does. Drawn very wide, but capable of negating that by building momentum gradually and working across into his rhythm on speed. Mikayla Weir, who partnered him to the first of his Tamworth mile wins this preparation, stays aboard.
🔹 RAJNISH
Experienced campaigner who takes on a another strong race, after contesting the Tamworth Cup and Prelude over this trip last month. Liberty Smyth claims, bringing him to a helpful 56.5kg and he’ll be hoping to show an improved effort now fully race fit third-up.
🔹 HULU
Genuine mare taking on another strong assignment after tackling the Tamworth Cup and winning the Prelude at her last two. Aaron Bullock goes aboard and while the draw makes things tricky, she has proven herself capable at the distance and will be looking for the luck to finish off late.
Big team in action on Day 1 of the @sconeraceclub Cup Carnival today 🎪
🔹 KOSTANUFFIN - 1000m Maiden -R1-

〰️ 1000m Country Boosted Maiden -R1- 〰️
🔹 KOSTANUFFIN
Second race start for the 5YO mare after a sound debut effort at Dubbo earlier this month. Previously trialled well and looking to continue improving with racing in this strong Maiden. Ashley Morgan rides.
〰️ 1300m Super Maiden Handicap -R2- 〰️
🔹 LEOVANNI
Resuming 4YO mare who has performed well fresh and comes in fitted for 1300m from two trials, with the latest a pleasing win at Muswellbrook. Placed twice at the venue including at this trip and drawn favourably in barrier 2 with Ashley Morgan aboard to make her presence felt.
〰️ 1100m Country Boosted Class 1 -R5- 〰️
🔹 JAGERSCHNITZEL
Fresh-up here after a decent break,
the 4YO has placed in all of his last six, possessing good early speed and routinely giving a sight in front- even out to 1400m. Has trialled up over the past month for his return and gets his winning rider (via steward’s room) Ash Morgan back on from a good draw in gate 4.
An earlier runner at @MudgeeRaceClub today where we are proud to have the last race called the Happy Mothers’ Day - Cameron Crocket Racing Class 3! 🌸🏇
🔹 GHAZNAVI - 1400m Class 2 -R4-
Found the line out wide with purpose at Muswellbrook nine days ago when dropping back in trip.
Back to 1400m today, where he’s been effective before, with a win, 2nd and 3rd from three runs at Mudgee including a first-up win here over the trip in December.
Grant Buckley rides the 5YO from barrier 3.
