Around the traps... ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/05/880x400/894fad4f5caf8168bc2028fac30dbff4.JPG) Above - Two great supporters of RTD Brenda and Peter McElvogue toughed it out at a cold and wintery Sale to see Tietar break her maiden. Nothing like that winning feeling hey guys! We were back with a bang on the track last week with 6 runners and a good win from Tietar on Sunday (above), and a bit stiff with a couple of others. Tietar looks a nice filly who has taken time and we will now step her up to 2000m at Flemington in a couple of weeks. We will have another 5 runners this week all over Victoria and New South Wales, so let's hope the recent run of winners continues. The winter race series at VRC is building momentum and the VRC team in conjunction with their catering partner Crown are introducing a Wine and Dine Series in The Byerley restaurant. On 20th July Executive Chef at Flemington Josh Pelham will be constructing a seasonal six course degustation menu with matching Penfolds wines for each course. If you are a VRC member and interested in attending, get in touch with Rob who is assembling a crew for our RTD alumni. Another reminder that the RTD open day is coming together nicely. This year we are visiting Pinecliff on Monday 10th June with Sam Freedman and the team at their stables at Mornington. See below article for all the details!
RTD's class of 2024 are off to school... The education process of RTD’s class of 2024 has begun and Steve spent some time with Bruce O’Dell and the team. Our current yearlings or soon to be 2YO’s in August: Justify colt, Highland Reel colt and our Blue Point filly are currently going through their paces. It’s an extensive process where trust is the key between equine and human. Gain the trust of the horse and the process becomes seamless. Steve took some great footage of our babies so click the pic below and check out the techniques the team use to educate the future champions of the turf. ![](https://mistable.com/site/videoThumbV2/id/632383?img=img_f9c4213c66aab5305dd03eed350fcdf4.jpg&siteId=638) This Colt is Born to Run! ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/03/880x400/ea57b012a0c3b839f84e1d6d086190cc.jpg) Above - This colt is ready to go!
The son of Churchill, this colt is born to run. Fast. Churchill, the fastest son of Galileo, won 7 straight races as a 2 and 3 year old, 4 of them Group 1s.
Churchill's sire, Galileo, was a 12 x champion sire with 99 group 1 winners, and 24 sons and 33 daughters of Galileo have produced group 1 winners world wide. Churchill's full sister was crowned Champion 2YO filly in Europe, winning a Group 1, 2, and 3. Churchill's full brother was a Stakes winner and multiple Stakes place getter. Another full brother is also a Stakes winner. The pedigree of this family is incredible.
We love the Churchills. We love them so much that 3 years ago we bid to our limit on a colt but were sadly the underbidder to Mitch Freedman. That colt was Attrition, who would go on to become Churchill's first Group 1 winner in Australia. We loved Attrition so much, that even though we knew he would never race in our colours, with tears in our eyes we still convinced our wives to buy shares with Mitch Freedman. When we say we love the Churchills, we mean we really love the Churchills. Well, we love this guy, also a son of Churchill. Jeremy Rogers loved him from the moment he laid eyes on him. If we've said it once, we've said it a hundred times. Jeremy Rogers has an eye for finding those champion racehorses who've somehow slipped through the sales' ring cracks. He found Anjana, a plain little grey chestnut filly for just $32K, and she went on to win almost 10x her purchase price in prize money. Well now he's found this guy, a grey chestnut colt, a son of Churchill for only $35K, and we feel like the cats that got the cream. With his pedigree, and a few significant wins under his belt, he will be worth a lot more than that. Churchill has already produced 2 Group 1 winners and 15 stakes winners in the UK and France. In Australia, he's produced a Group 1 winner, 4 stakes winners and 5 stakes place getters. It's just a matter of time before these numbers continue to build. When they do, you won't be able to buy into Churchills at this price again. This is your chance. He's a different colour to Churchill, but has the same imposing physique, the same round rump and the same barrel chest. We are rapt to say he's ours, and even prouder to say, this son of Churchill will race in our colours. If you love the rags to riches stories, this is where it starts. Only 30% remaining at a cost of only $2,600 for 5% all inclusive. You do the math.
