Congrats to the BLACK BANNER SYNDICATE!

On Sunday the 1st of January 2012 the BLACK BANNER SYNDICATE kicked off the new year with a winning start! She has always had ability, running 6th in the TJ Smith 2YO Handicap over 1600m & Glyn Schofield's remarks after the run were "will have real ability as a Stayer next year".

The SYNDICATE!

Happy New Year to all of our Clients, Friends & Family!

Well New Year started with a bang for us with PLAYACTION winning the BLACKWOODS CLASS 6 HANDICAP 1615m.

Congratulations to the Syndicate as he has been an unlucky horse in running...but we always knew he had ability & class & this shone through yesterday!

Once again thank you to our clients, friends & family for your support in 2011, it's been a tough one but after reading some of the most famous "Horse/Horse Racing Quotes" at 3am this morning this was one of my favourites!:

"All you need for happiness is a good gun, a good wife and especially, a good Horse!" Daniel Boon......

QUARTERLY UPDATE 2011

Ok so i'm wondering how many people follow the updates on Facebook? I think from now on I will copy the FB updates & add them to this section of our site for our non Facebook lovers (David included). 

This month (September) has been a downer for us...we have had a virus go through the stable & it's certainly put the skids on our runners. On a positive note some of the babies are coming along well & some are trialing tomorrow (Markane Colt & Court Command Filly) so we are hoping that they will pass their barrier tests with flying colours. The Royal Academy Filly (half sister to Playaction) has returned to work & we think she is one special girl..however with all Diva's a certain amount of bad behaviour can occur at times:) There has been a few other celebrations this month, my Birthday, David's birthday & my dad's 60th (Allan Clark) then next month our oldest son turns sweet 16...where have the years gone?

BITTERMAGIC won at the Gold Coast on the 2nd July over 1800m giving some of the syndicate members their 1st winner! Well done guys!
