Lightwatch breaks through for a maiden victory at Kyneton today under a well-timed Johnny Allen ride over 1103m. It was just the fifth career start for the flashy chestnut and his first run for the prep.

He's a promising type by former Darley shuttler Earthlight and has always been a nice horse.

Well done to the ownership group which involves some very loyal supporters. He runs in the Jim McGrath colours and is another winner from the New Approach mare Carousing. D’Jumbuck was a headline horse for the stable winning six races in the City and Shanghai Venture was a four-time winner and also won in town.

Well done to our team at Pakenham who do an outstanding job each morning, rain, hail, or shine!

Colour Circle broke through at Echuca today over a mile under Johnny Allen, saluting for a very deserving and patient ownership group. He came into the race with three second placings on the bounce and was able to go that one better today.

There are a great group of people who are very close to the stable involved in this horse so it’s great to get the result today.

Colour Circle is by Akeed Mofeed and out of the New Approach mare Pink Avenue, making him a half-brother to Pink Beau Ty who we lost too soon. He was a City winner and collected over $215,000 for the stable. There are a few more siblings coming through the stable, including Blue Parrot who has only had a couple of starts.

Well done to our team at Pakenham and all involved.

Eureka Rose was in full bloom at Pakenham tonight to break her maiden in the 1000m dash under Jackie Beriman. It's been a journey with this mare so it's very pleasing to be on the board at just her third career start. Jackie gave her an excellent ride and took the shortcut on the turn to trump them up the inside.

It's always that little bit sweeter winning on the home track and with Jackie who has been doing a lot of work with the stable also. It's also a family we have had a lot to do with and it's yet another winner thrown by the now retired mare Red Margarita. She's been a marvel.

Well done to our team at Southside Racing Pakenham.

Trinity’s D’oro rocks again! She makes it two-from-two at Hanging Rock with another win over the mile today. Jackie Beriman has now had three rides on the mare for two wins and a second. They’re quite the duo.

Since her maiden win in September last year, Trinity’s D’oro has raced another eight times with only one of those starts being out of the placings, and that was a fourth. She’s been a model of consistency and is loving her racing.

Well done to Bruce Maya’s Mayford Park and the fantastic bunch of owners.

We took three runners to Hanging Rock today for a win, a second and a third. It has been a good track to us previously with six winners and four placings now from ten starters there.

Pure Silk broke through at Werribee today in impressive fashion, producing a strong finish over 1114m under a peach of a ride from Jackie Beriman.

We’ve always held a big opinion of this filly, so it was very pleasing to see her put it all together today. She was very keen in her first two runs, so we took her back to the trials to iron out a few things with Jackie on board and it’s clearly paid dividends.

Well done to the ownership group, headed by John O’Rourke, whose Richmond silks she races in. There’s a fantastic group of people involved and they’re very loyal stable owners.

Pure Silk was an Inglis Premier Yearling purchase by Astute Bloodstock on behalf of the ownership group.

The run continues.

What better way to bring in the New Year than a double at Hanging Rock! Half-sisters Trinity’s D’oro and Spirit Angel both saluted in Bruce Maya’s Mayford Park colours and it was great to have him and his family on course.

Bruce is a good supporter of the stable and we’ve had a few of the Trinity House progeny through the barn now, each one a winner.

Well done to our team at Pakenham who have been busy through the holiday period so it’s nice to be having a good run of form.

The double made it 6 winners from our last 13 runners! Bring on 2026 💪

Shanghai Venture bounced back to her best form today with a win at Moe under the talented Lyle Hewitson. The 5yo mare is our first winner for the season and she runs for some loyal owners.

Ellmaknifiko heads back to the Pakenham Synthetic course today which is a surface he really seems to like. The old boy came to us from another stable and has been racing well. He was a winner three starts back at the track and trip.

The evergreen Bush Christmas is set to start the next phase of her career as a broodmare. The Poet’s Voice mare won three races and had five placings from her 29 starts. She’s out of Red Margarita who is a mare we know very well.

All going well, she will have a few more trips to the races before retiring.

There are opportunities available to race some relations to Bush Christmas, including the rising 2yo by Horse Of The Year Ghaiyyath.

Get in touch to find out more.
