🥇🥇 Another great day at the office, with two winners from two starters at Timaru today

🥇 Queensland Spirit

A well-deserved win from this girl, with her manners coming to the fore. With the majority of the other runners galloping, she did everything right, received a great trip and won well.

Congratulations to myself as owner 😂👍

🥇 Landman

A horse we have a huge opinion of. After trotting roughly early and losing a stretch in the process, he found his feet and trotted like we know he can to win under his own steam, beating a nice horse in the process.

Congratulations to Wayne and Connie Stewart, and the Parents, who own this c**t!

Stoked with this mare picking up her ticket and group 3 success against the open class trotters

Congratulations to her loyal owners Julie and Sasha Maghzal and thanks to Blair for a great drive

HABIBTI PAT books her ticket to the Renwick Farms Dominion Trot! 🎟️

She did it well too, taking out the Group 3 Tactical Approach DG Jones Banks Peninsula Cup with the feeling there was still plenty left in the tank 💪

The mares dominated the race, filling the first four placings with Nellie Doyle second, Walkinonsunshine third and Resolve fourth.

Congratulations to driver Blair Orange, trainers Greg and Ben Hope and owners Julie Maghzal and Sasha Maghzal, with Julie also the breeder 👏

Great to have our three open-class trotters back at the races tonight to continue there Road To The Dominion

All three look nice chances in what shapes as a big, open field, so we’re looking forward to seeing them back out there.

Hopefully we can continue the stable’s good run after a great weekend at Geraldine last Sunday, where Val Thorens and Moeraki both got the job done impressively 🥇🥇

Best of luck to all three connections tonight🤞

🥇Val Thorens

A well deserved win for this fella at ashburton today after two good placings. he had to sit parked for awhile before finding some cover and was too good for them late

Congratulations to Barnsey looking foward to smoko 😂
