A truly consistent cushion track horse (8 Cush Starts, 3 wins, 1 2nd & 1 3rd) NOISY SCOOTER won the main race on the last night of the Sunshine Coast summer season night racing (it should still be going!) - the Nambour Relay for Life 1600m in Class Record time. His stable name is LUKE as when he was younger he was very hairy & awkward & moved like an Ewok out of the Star Wars series so we aptly nickamed him LUKE SKYWALKER....However our Luke has matured into a consistent runner on the "Cush" & matured with age as many of the Clangs do. Thanks to Dan & Linda Driscoll of Gladstone for their continued support.

Finch Farm Bono has resumed light work and seems to have responded to the treatment given for his navicular cyst. Time will be his biggest test however we remain hopeful that he can return to jumping competitively. I would like to thank Ron Major from Prydes Feeds http://www.prydes.com.au/
for recommending a "Rehab" diet that maintained his weight but had a "Coolness" effect due to the 2month stint he had to have enclosed in a stable. Prydes feeds are available from Jamie & Shannon at AUSTACK, Sunshine Coast on 53418094.

Congrats to the connections of PLAYACTION winning the Class 1, 2000m at the Sunshine Coast (Cushion Track) meeting. Ridden to perfection by Wanderson D'Avila, "Brookie" is now heading for a spell & a geld! (poor Brookstar). The winter carnival looks a likely target with his good form this preparation.

Congratulations to the new owners of NAVILLUS PICALL (K.Clark-Peoples, K.Kildey, G Sutton, I Harrison, P Perren) on winning 2nd up at the Sunshine Coast Night Meeting. This filly is truly honest and a pleasure to train and hopefully she can repeat her performance this Sunday when Wanderson D'Avila takes his first ride on the Sunshine Coast.

Congrats to the connections of PLAY ACTION winner of the SENIOR RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB MDN 1300m at the Sunshine Coast. A good start to the beginning of the night racing meetings at Caloundra!

November 2010

Where has the year gone? Soon we will be in Santa suits & doing the dreaded Xmas Shopping! The past 3 months have been busy with the babies being educated, trialling and then finally going out for a well earned break. Due to the success of Gingerbread Man in Singapore we have had many enquires for our 2yo's and have had some successful sales and some syndicated to retain to race. Our starters have been consistent over the past month and I have highlighted some of our runners:

Prosper - ran 2nd over 1400m on the Cushion Track which was a big improvement on his previous start (ran 14th out of 15 beaten 9.5l); Maybe the Cushion is his preferred surface!

Macsquire - continues to run well and always puts in a good performance in good company. Out of his last 6 starts he has won & placed in Provincial & Metropolitan company:

Playaction - has resumed this month after debuting over the winter and running some good races in Group Company. He ran a good 4th first up in town in after "frequenting" the Stewards Report...let's hope he gets more luck next time!

With Friends - Ran 5th of 12 over 1200m in *Class Record Time*. This is a horse with ability who also has the ability to do little things wrong that has cost him a spot in the winners stall. However he is a work in progress and we are getting there and appreciate the support of his loyal group of owners:)

Navillus Picall - David and I have leased this filly as we have a high opinion of her. She debuted today after a 212 day spell and ran a pleasing 4th over 1200m. Our aim is to set her for a Mares/Fillies race in town over a mile as she is definitely looking for the journey and has a perfect stayers temperament:

The babies have now returned to the barn to begin their second prep so we are in full swing again. We also have some of our other runners ready to start trialling, Noisy Scooter and Dragon Rocker to name a few. Both horses were winners & placegetters stalls last prep & we hope they are there again this time!

Please follow our Facebook Page by clicking on the link above as it is easy to update & is becoming a great marketing tool for us. Feedback is welcomed on the different ways we update our news etc.

There are some existing staff members who need to be added to our Staff Profile Page, two which come to mind are Sarah Wessling and Sarah Tonisso. Sarah Wessling has to be commended for "sticking it out" as she came to the job with no prior horse experience and no "early start" experience. She has become a senior and valued person to our Team. Sarah Tonisso has to be commended for her work and study ethic as she is currently finishing Year 12 and I hear is expected to do very well - we also wish her a Happy 18th Birthday for this month & many happy returns. Next month I will be profiling each of the Team for Xmas, it is nice to have the ratio of 6 girls to 3 men at SCRL:)

Happy racing and hope you backed a winner over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Winner today for David Peoples & the Team - MACSQUIRE over 2200m Class 3, paid $9 with Renee Hinricks aboard.  David has had faith in his staying ability & Dessie (the Turf Club's Clerk of the Course) rides him work & declared him during the week....good jobs guys (+ most importantly the girls at SCRL:)

28 August 2010

We trialled 3 babies on Tuesday, the Ferocity - Fashion Setter Colt, Sequalo - Bollinda Tellinda Colt and the Shovog - Billboard Filly they all went super for their first jump outs and the two colts have sold themselves - 50% in each gone as they were very impressive. The filly who has been a handful has finally come to the party and also trialled good but wasn't quite as forward as the boys. The two colts are now headed for the Fitton 2YO race all going well so contact us for the remaining shares available.  The draft we have this year are possibly the most forward babies we have had to date.  The All Bar One - Dainty Habit & the Outback Prince - Triple Trio colts & Markane Malibu Heights Filly will all be ready to trial in a couple of weeks time.  We also have 3 x 3yo's in this time that are well grown, fully educated & ready to go, a gelding by Sequalo, a filly by Canadian Silver & a filly by Nothin Leica Dane.  We will be updating our FOR SALE page soon with more details & photos.

I must also mention a Broodmare for Sale that is worthwhile looking at if you are a breeder: (also listed on FOR SALE page) 
Broodmare 9yo, MICHIGAN AVENUE - LION HUNTER out of ACQUISITIVE (Covetus), won $36,550. Ran 2nd in town over 1030, 2 x 1sts at Ipswich over 1200 & 1330m then went north to race & won & placed in Townsville & Rockhampton. 1st first foal going through the Ready to Run sale, he is a big strong chestnut gelding by BAGGER VANCE. Owners don't want to breed anymore - good price at $ 2,000 (empty).



Update 10 August 2010:

More excitment for the team when NAVILLUS PICALL won the Seapointe Homes Mdn Plate over 1400m on the Sunshine Coast Cushion Track.  It was an exciting finish with the margin a nose!  Congrats to our supportful owners Denise Scriven and Dexter Sullivan and  a special mention must go to Trainer Andrew Donnelly who broke the filly in and educated her before being badly hurt in a track work accident, we wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.

February 8 2010

The team had a great day yesterday with 2 wins from 3 starters.  Cushion Track specialists CHEAPSKATERUBI and VISION OF FALVELON romped home at long odds to win.  It's great to see the Cushion Track in cool conditions instead of the hot conditions that favours front runners.  Both horses were last turning for home and took advantage of outside runs.  Apprentice Shaun Guymer steered both horses to victory and was rewarded with a write up in the local paper, well done Shaun!  It was extra special for part owners Bruce and Heather Deegan from Caloundra City Realty as they sponsored the race.  We also have to thank Danny & Kelli Williams for allowing Shaun to stay on loan in Queensland with the stable as we know he is in demand at home!

SHOGOLD ridden by JASON HOLDER

SHOGOLD was impressive winning on boxing day at the Sunshine Coast.  Ridden by Jason Holder, Shogold always looked the winner at the top of the straight and romped home on a slow track.  We are very impressed with this horse's progress and his run at the Magic Millions yesterday was a corker apart from his unlucky run in the straight.  Congratulations to Denise Scriven and Dexter Sullivan they are supportive owners to us and our team here at SCRL.
