We retired one of ours as well Skids. Definitely paid its way and will have a great retirement on the farm.

Keep an eye out for our Families new addition "No Commitment". Out of No Excuse Needed and Flirting. 6 Starts for 2 wins so far and will win a few more. Last Start sat outside the leader and pulled away for a 3/4 of a length win with hands and heels riding.

Novative in a 1650m maiden for us at Toowoomba this arvo.

Looking for a big improvement on his first run for us last week at Ipswich (he didn't travel too well in the float), back on his home track and over a more suitable journey. I'll be disappointed if he isn't in the first 3 today.

An excellent effort! Especially when we found he'd got his tongue in the airway.

Gets a tongue tie next start and is coming along sweetly 8)

Race 6. Does his usual, dawdle out of the gates, but the burst from the 800m is impressive.

I have a share in a horse called Himeji Jo. Two runs since our involvement with a second and a first placing. Looked great in it maiden win over 1450 meters and was walking away from the field on the line.

Last successful horse we were involved in was Who Stole My Sock. Had great potential but retired due to a leg injury that I suspect had been present for a long time. Now running around on a farm near Albury.

The horse we had between these two had two speeds. Slow and slower.

Nice one member 8) A nicely bred one by one of my favourite Horses, Teofilo (5 starts for 5 wins is incredible!!). You might be on a good one there!
Unlucky with WSMS... had a pretty handy last prep! 3 wins, 2 seconds and a third from 6 starts :shock:

If you get a chance Culprit, check him out before they head out to the course. He travelled terrible in the float to Ipswich last time, sweated up bad and ran like a slug.
He's travelling with a couple of others from the stable today and we're hoping that'll make a difference.

He's been backed from 15's into 10's with a few bookies this morning.
I got a nice chunk at $16 & $4.10, will see how he is pre race before I have a decent stab :wink:

Smooch in the 1st should go ok.
