And that’s a wrap on the 2025/2026 season guys!

With 22 wins, 19 seconds and 18 thirds from 180 starts we finished 24th on the premiership.

Some highlights being Tuxedo, winning the $1m Group 3 Elsdon Park Aotearoa Classic and Tajana with two Group 3 wins taking home the Cambridge Stud Northland Breeders Stakes and Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Sunline Vase🤩

We would like to thank our owners and supporters who continue to cheer us on and support the stable with some lovely horses.

The 2026/2027 season is looking bright with a lot of exciting prospects in the stable right now, both young and old(er)🏇🏼

Thank you from Shaune, Colm and the team at Ritchie/Murray Racing🙌🏼
