Around the traps....  What a start to 2023/24 It's been a terrific start to the new season as we head into week 4 of August. The team have already had 6 individual winners for the month including Clovelly (above right), Sacred Feeling (above left), Motitsi, Headlock, Hedged (above) and Crown Waters, with five of these maiden winners. Our strike rate is already sitting at a whopping 41% winners to runners and while we won't remain at this rate all year, our owners will notice we are gearing up for spring to see whether our horses will measure up. While we are getting winners, all of our horses have been ultra competitive with narrow placings to Anahita, Rhapsody Chic and Copperfield ensuring our place percentage is over 66%, which is again showing us that we are on the money when it comes to placing our horses in the right races.
 Spring is in the air and we can't wait! Spring is only a week away and things are heating up. We have already seen a number of spring contenders come out last week in Mr Brightside, Cylinder, and the smart Charm Stone to name a few, and this weekend at The Valley the sprinters will all go around in the Listed Carlyon Stakes. This is the time of year that we are all up and about and we can't wait to test some of our horses during the spring carnival as it is the highest standard of racing in Australia. We get the opportunity to see what level they are currently at and where they measure up in the short term.
