Around the traps... ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/04/880x400/74b507b9ff2bea7639f9502b49bd2eb5.jpg) Above - The week in review, Rob at Mitch Freedman's, Hedged owners going off, Capitalist colt SOLD and Lauren Burke gave Our Silver Linings a peach! They say a picture tells a thousand words, and this montage above pretty much sums our week. Rob spent a great morning at Mitch Freedman's open day and yearling parade. We are loving the relationship we have with Mitch, and he is a trainer going places so we were more than happy to support his day, and do a Q&A around our journey with him and his team. We have a couple of lovely yearlings with Mitch, a Churchill filly bought at Magic Millions and a Shamus Award filly bought at Inglis Classic, with a couple of small shares available. Also, look out for RTD's open day, currently being finalised in the next week including dates and locations to come. Top right, the agony and ecstasy of racing was on show for owners of Hedged last Saturday in the Gr.2 Arrowfield Stakes at Randwick. Unfortunately it wasn't to be and we were beaten by a short half-head. The only issue was someone forgot to tell our effervescent owners Jaklina and Jody who thought our boy got the bob! We love this passion from our owners and while we didn't get the choccy's, everyone had a ball on track and we couldn't have been prouder of Hedged running a career peak. Bottom right, our Capitalist colt bought at Inglis Easter last week is now fully sold. Our owners are backing our team to find the right horses at the top end. Congrats to those who got in early and to those who have missed out and are looking for a colt who can take them to the promise land, jump on the website and check out our other lovely progeny bought this year. And last but not least, bottom left, the infectious smile of Lauren Burke who is riding winners for fun at the moment. She brought up a double at Bairnsdale with a cracking ride on Our Silver Linings, who has now made it two wins a row for Matt Laurie and the team. Let's hope both Lauren and our gusty mare continue on their winning ways.
Capitalist colt is sold... but 15% remains in our Zousain colt! ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/02/880x400/6eaf76dec47b8c87d647c12f72886327.png) Above - Lot 728 Colt by Zousain out of a More Than Ready mare! We were rapt to secure Lot 728, this cracking colt from Inglis Classic Sale. This son of the exciting new stallion Zousain is everything we are hoping for when buying a colt. He is correct, perfect size, great attitude, very athletic, has a terrific pedigree, and to pick him up for only $50K... you should read on!
Zousain is the son of the amazing Zoustar. Zousain was a Group 2 winner himself and multiple Group 1 placed as a 2YO and 3YO. His first progeny were late to hit the track, forcing the price of his yearlings down as they went through the ring, with every owner wanting an early 2YO type. This was where we made our move and capitalised on value.
Lo and behold, since January when his first crop hit the track he has had 5 winners and a stakes placed getter from 9 runners, and all of those runners have run top 3 in their races. We swooped on this lovely colt and now you have the chance to get in at an entry level price for a horse we valued at around $90 - $100K.
The colt's dam is by legendary broodmare sire, More Than Ready, and she won twice over 1000m and ran fourth in a Group 3, so safe to say she had some ability. She has had two foals to the track and both have won between 1000m and 1300m. This cross of speed on speed doesn't guarantee us an earlier runner, but you only have to look at the page, his photo and video to see that he is in a hurry in everything he does.
Only 15% remaining and a cost of only $4,750 for 5% all inclusive.
Get onto Rob on 0448 462 824 to secure your share.

Get In The Queue enjoying retirement ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/04/880x400/011468929afad2fbcd88c7e460d9b689.jpg) We absolutely love this photo taken on the property of prominent RTD owner Tony Renkin at his Tallarook farm. In the background is the now retired Get In The Queue who was floated to Tony's farm by Steve last week. It's fair to say that the big boy will enjoy the rest of his days under the care of Tony. It's another success story for RTD in ensuring our retired horses find the right home for their owners and we look forward to sharing lots of pics with Tony and Get In The Queue.
