From humble beginnings at home in Weedons, Aroda will today get his opportunity on the big stage when he lines up at Addington Raceway in the $1,000,000 IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup for Queensland owners Greg and Sharon Mitchell, trainer Grant Dixon and driver Trista Dixon.

We couldn’t be more proud to have played a roll in what Arty has already achieved, and know he’ll put his best hoof forward today ⭐️

Our last start winner Cutie (Bettors Delight - Jakira) lines up today down south for driver Craig Ferguson.

Off the back of her maiden win, it is likely she will need this run today in order to strip fitter for further assignments.

Good luck and all the best to Woodlands Stud NZ 💚

Cutie lines up this afternoon at Timaru Harness Racing Club looking to improve on her fair debut.

Good luck and all the best to owners Woodlands Stud 💚

We quite often share success stories for those horses who leave our barn that go on to have successful racing careers, however it is equally important to recognise those who whilst their succeses weren’t on the track, have found their purpose in other forms.

Unraced 3yo Bettors Delight filly KARMIC LASS departed Keast Racing at the beginning of March and headed to well known rehoming horsewoman Michelle Morrison’s to start her education under saddle. Not even 1 month later (30 days exactly!) she has been sashed Champion Led Youngstock at the 2024 Straith Taieri A&P Show for her new owner 🏅

We cannot thank Michelle enough for taking on ‘Annie’ and finding her an amazing life after racing❣️
