I have just heard that Alpha Bravo will be transferring from Danny O’Brien’s stables, to Ciaron Maher’s stables down at Warrnambool. Ciaron trained the winner 2007 Emirates Stakes (G1), Tears I Cry. Alpha Bravo will have a short break to freshen up, before heading to his new “home” in a couple of weeks time. Ciaron [...]

Sadly Alpha Bravo did not perform as well as he did in his debut start at Cranbourne a couple of weeks ago. He did not appear comfortable in the going, and finished 12th of the 15 runners. One thing that was apparent watching the race on TV is how immature he looked compare to the [...]

I have just received word that Alpa Bravo will be having his second start at Ballarat tomorrow. He is No. 11 in Race 4, a 1400m maiden for colts & geldings 3YO and up. He will be ridden by Michelle Payne. Fingers crossed he has a good run against the older horses.

Alpha Bravo finished 4th at his first start at Cranbourne earlier today. He was ½ a length from 3rd. I was quite pleased with his run, and think will take great benefit from his first start. The stable reports that he pulled up well immediately after the race and provided he recovers well in the [...]

I had a lovely day at the Hancox Sydnicate Day at Geelong on Saturday. It was great to finally meet the Syndicate Managers, Shelley and Rod, but best of all it was wonderful to see the horses in our syndicate. The Choisir colt and Testa Rossa gelding are physically very impressive individuals. Both are big [...]

For as long as I can remember, I have had an interest in horse racing. It all started with my late grandmother, who used to take me to the races once a week when I was a kid. During the 1980′s, for a few years I had a part time involvement with racing stud here [...]
