A gutsy win for Smiling Hussy

| December 6, 2009

If the news of Chief Red Cloud’s win yesterday at Stony Creek wasn’t enough, Smiling Hussy joined in the party with a gutsy win today at Murray Bridge. Hussy didn’t have the easiest of runs – she was 3-wide without cover all of the way, got to the lead halfway down the straight, and toughed [...]

A fantasic result for Smiling Hussy

| October 5, 2009

Smiling Hussy and her young rider Tillie Neve did a fantastic job at Morphettville Park today, with the pair a fast finishing second behind winner Bonview. They were beaten by a head. It certainly made missing the dog show worthwhile Hussy was the first to jump, she settled well in the run, and knuckled down [...]

Smiling Hussy – Morphettville Parks Saturday 5 October

| October 1, 2009

Smiling Hussy will have her next start on Monday at Morphettville Parks, in a 1200m Fillies and Mares maiden. She is No. 10 in Race 1, and will be ridden by young apprentice Tillie Neve. She has also drawn a decent barrier for a change, so if she gets a good track, it will be [...]

Smiling Hussy finishes 7th on an unsuitable track

| September 23, 2009

Smiling Hussy had her first race back after a spell today, and finished in 7th place of the 16 horse field. She had only a couple behind her as the field came onto the home straight, but she picked up a few places finishing 13 lengths behind the winner. Whilst the margin was not flattering, [...]

Smiling Hussy – Murray Bridge Wednesday 23 September

| September 21, 2009

Smiling Hussy will be running at Murray Bridge on Wednesday 23 September. She is No 16. in Race 1 – a 1200m 3yo Maiden. David Tootell has been booked to ride and she will start from Barrier 16. Given the track is currently rated as a dead 6, and she has drawn an outside barrier, [...]

Smiling Hussy fails to get a start

| September 16, 2009

As expected, Smiling Hussy did not get a start today. Hopefully we will be able to find a suitable race for her soon – and a good track would be nice too!

Smiling Hussy nominated for Morphettville Parks

| September 14, 2009

Smiling Hussy has been nominated for a 1000m Class 1 race at Morphettville Parks on Wednesday. Currently she is 3rd Emergency for the race, so it is unlikely that she will get a start. With the current track conditions and weather forecasts for the next couple of days, I don’t think the track is likely to [...]

Smiling Hussy finishes out of the placings

| April 29, 2009

Sadly, Smiling Hussy did not run as well today as she did at her debut 2 weeks ago. She jumped from the barriers OK but drifted back to settle in the second half of the field.  Hussy is still a little green, and whilst she let down OK in the straight, she only made up [...]

Smiling Hussy – Balaklava Wednesday 29 April

| April 24, 2009

Smiling Hussy pulled up well after her first start, and will be running at Balaklava next Wednesday. She is No.9 in Rce 1, the “Wyndham Estate / SABIS 2YO Special Conditions Handicap” over 12oom. She has drawn barrier 10 and will be ridden by David Tootell. Hopefully, there won’t be the same drama getting to [...]
