Capping of a great day for our small stable Mittere proved too quick and too strong for his rivals in the Class 3 Get Out Stakes in Toowoomba last Saturday evening. After being slightly distracted by the horse beside him as the barriers opened he was a little slow to...

On the 25th March with coronavirus isolation orders in place, Eagle Farm was a ghost town. There were no spectators only essential staff trainers, jockeys, strappers and racing officials. There were no owners jumping out of their seats to cheer on their horses, nor...

Owners are very important to our stable and we strive to give them the best experience possible. We have an open door policy and encourage our owners to regularly come along to the stables to visit their horses. If they are early risers they can come along...

A win must be just around the corner with 5 of our last 10 runners finishing in the top three. Let’s hope it is the gutsy filly Ginger Rock who started off being ranked 39 then fourth emergency and has finally gotten a run in the Magic Millions $1 Million Fillies and...

The win for Back The Rock aka Woody at Doomben on 16 October was a triumph in more ways than one. His owner Brian purchased the son of Fastnet Rock out of the Encosta de Lago mare Letrice as a weanling from the draft of Wood Nook Farm. Whilst a strapping young colt he...

A brilliant ride by “King of the Gold Coast” multiple premiership winning jockey Daniel Griffin on Saute saw the gelding break his maiden at his first start back from tie back surgery. The extremely handsome son of Sizzling out of the Rock of Gibraltar mare Tipsy Lane...

Danny has always been more of an observer than a talker and so when he quietly told connections that he was impressed with Ginger Rock they listened. Their patience in giving Danny the time, to develop her talent and allowing the filly to furnish, is starting to pay...

It was a huge run at Doomben, for strikingly handsome colt Mittere, in his first start back this campaign. Mittere, a 3YO by Smart Missile out of Rainbow Joy (half-brother to former stable favourite Snitzel’s Joy) easily took the lead and bowled along at very fast...

Last Saturday, celebrations were in full swing when Crafty Spirit won for the second time in a row with jockey Matthew McGillvray aboard. It is great to see this partnership growing together in confidence and Crafty is definitely improving his race skills under...

The weather conditions were far from favourable for the last race on the card at Doomben. Crafty Spirit was desperate for a run so Danny decided not to scratch even though he wasn’t sure of his chances on the Heavy 10 track. So far none of the progeny of Spirit of...

How much does it cost to have a racehorse in training?We have calculated the daily average based on the actual invoices of a 2YO filly purchased last year at the Magic Millions March Sale trained by Danny Bougoure:$10.50 per day for a 10% share $5.50 per day for a 5%...

Flinders Dragon was given a gem of a ride by Laura Cheshire at Ballina.  Starting at $29 there was not a lot of support from punters but we were confident if ridden to instructions he would be hard to beat.  Laura gave him every chance from switching him on...
