Up in class against seasoned, older, well-performed gallopers.
Proper effort 😳🕺❤️

Congrats to trainer Simon Dunderdale and Mr Yee King Kong

Winning your first four races is hard to do, in any jurisdiction,  and while I call him the Malaysian Chatauqua in (half) jest, it is the manner in which he looks down-and-out but eats up the final furlongs that really gets your heart racing.💨💨💨

Attracting young people to work in the thoroughbred industry is always a talking point, can we do more?

🗣️ What positive change would you like to see in the industry? (Part 3).

[Astute Bloodstock @AstuteBldstock]

She's An Artist is back in the winner's circle! 🏆

After some unlucky runs this prep, she finally got her reward. A positive steer from Zac Lloyd and she dominated a strong field, beating previous stakes winners.

Next stop: the $1 million Hunter at Newcastle on 14 Nov🎯

[Duncan Ramage @DGRTBS]

The solution to the VRC Derby is here. Proposed by the Late Bart Cummings many years ago. Negate the effects of the 2500m start before a sharp bend which derails the career of many a young 3yo by creating a shute into the disused stripping sheds, giving at least a 2300m+ start.

[LaurelOakBloodstock @LaurelOakB]

Marffiano has drawn gate 3 in Saturday's Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington 🏇

@AstuteBldstock’s Louis Le Metayer has had plenty of success at the #TattsAutumn HIT Sale in the past with the likes of Mr Monaco & Harlem and hopes Cambridgeshire winner Pierre Royal can add to that.
