26th July - WEEKEND WINNERS FROM LIMTLESS LODGE
Winter King won the first race at Randwick on Saturday over 1000m for trainer David Payne and owners Les Samba and Ron Medich. This very fast son of One Cool Cat has returned a much stronger and more sensible horse, now that he has been gelded. Winter King was broken in at Limitless Lodge and always spells and is pre-trained here.
Kimberly Kid also won for trainer David Payne at Randwick on Saturday and brought up a double for Limitless Lodge. Perfectly piloted by Nash Rawiller, he handled the wet track perfectly. Kimberly Kid was broken in at Limitless Lodge and always spells and pre-trains at the farm.
26th July - Sydney International CIC
Organisers at Sydney Eventing very kindly put on a CIC for competitors anxious to qualify for Sydney and Adelaide 3 Day Events coming up shorty. Wayne Copping produced terrific courses which were tough enough without being silly. The ground was absolutely perfect.
Shane Rose was able to win the CIC*** on his exciting young 8yo Taurus, narrowly from Chris Burton on Jaybee Calypso. Chris's other ride Newsprint made a succesful return from a tendon injury to run 3rd. In the CIC** Chris Burton on Haruzac narrowly defeated Tim on Untouchable who recovered from his blip at Quirindi and went great in all 3 phases. Billy Elliot finished only 3 marks behind Untouchable but such was the quality of the class and tightness of the scores he only finished 7th.
The mid week event was a great warm up for the weekend CIC and Tim's 2 star team could not have gone any better. Untouchable won the CNC** narrowly from Chris Burton and Underdiscussion and GV Billy Elliot ran 3rd.
19th July - WEEKEND WINNERS FROM LIMTLESS LODGE
Zedlion for trainer Gerald Ryan won the 2yo race at Kembla on Saturday over 1200m. This son of Lion Heart was broken in at Limitless Lodge and always showed good ability. Since being gelded and subsequently spelled and pre-trained at the farm he has been able to win at his first race start in what was a very competitive race which will turn out to be a good form reference.
12th July - WEEKEND WINNERS FROM LIMTLESS LODGE
Key West won again for trainer Chris Waller and our loyal supporters, Kerry and Jenny Pooley. This half brother to Altered Boy, out of Floridays, improved upon his record to make it 3 wins from 5 starts. He was broken in at Limitless Lodge and always spells and pre-trains at Limitless Lodge prior to each preparation
Shawnee Girl won for trainer Chris Waller and the Ingham family at Newcastle over 1300m. Shawnee Girl was a 2008 Inglis Easter graduate who cost $AUS1 million and looks to be on the imrpove after finally breaking through. After running several good races this campaign we hope this win is the first of many. This preparation Shawnee Girl spelled and pre-trained at Limitless Lodge.
Rajit won for trainer David Payne and prominant owners Wynyarra Pastoral Company. This horse by Rock of Gibraltar has improved significantly since being gelded. Rajit was broken in at Limitless Lodge and is always pre-trained at the farm before going back to trainer David Payne.
12th July - Quirindi CIC**
Quirindi Horse Trials once again hosted a CIC event up to 2 star. Entries for the event produced a star studded field which many people believe was the strongest 2 star class assembled in a very long time. Wayne Copping produced a really nice track that kept riders thinking throughout with lots of narrow and related lines. A complicating factor was the overnight rain on Saturday which produced very difficult going that many horses struggled with.
Chris Burton won with Jaybee Calypso from Hamish Cargill (Agent Arthur) and Tim with GV Billy Elliot. Billy went really well in all 3 phases as he heads towards upgrading to 3 star. Untouchable, who has recently been the star of Tim's team did a terrific dressage test but struggled with the ground cross country and was pulled up after an early run out. This is the second time Untouchable has run badly cross country at Quirindi, and in actual fact, the only event where he has ever occured cross country penalties. I dont think Untouchable will return to Quirindi any time soon.
5th July - WEEKEND WINNERS FROM LIMTLESS LODGE
Triple Elegance was a very game winner at Rosehill on Saturday for trainer Chris Waller and jockey Corey Brown. A star in the making, this lightly raced horse was carrying clear top weight of 58kg and showed great determination to win and build on his already imposing winning record. Triple Elegance was broken in, spelled and pre-trained at Limitless Lodge.
Electric Dreams, owned by Peter Horwitz and trained by Joe Pride, won the big fillies/mares race at Rosehill on Saturday with a great front running ride from apprentice Nathan Berry. The short priced favourite controlled the tempo and won easily. She will now be freshened up and saved for the Spring. Electric Dreams is the most expensive yearling purchased by Peter Horwitz at $AUS600,000 and is by Redoute's Choice, from the mare Volted In (Grand Armee's family). Like all of Peter Horwitz's horses Electric Dreams is pre-trained on the aquacizer each preparation at Limitless Lodge.
