The last two months have been pretty quiet for our race team having only But But But and Noplacetohide racing who was a last start winner at Addington on the 6/7/10.
Noplacetohide won well after being bottled up 3 back on the markers and rattled home well running the distance 2600m mobile in 3.19 with a slick 57.2 last half.
We qualified very nice types in Live The Magic (2 g Live or Die-Magic in her Pocket), Fuengirola (2 c Artsplace-Pleiades maia) and Moon Boyz (3 g Brylin Boyz-Moon Princess) all three have been turned out for spells.
August 1st we will be starting back on the majority of our rising two year olds and also a number of our rising three year olds that have been out for spells.

With a number of our current racehorses being turned out or being sold it has cut our race team in half. But it won't be long until the next wave is due to trial with a handful of them already having gone to the workouts.
It has been a busy start to the month having brought back in 19 of our yearlings for their 2nd preparation.
On the family front, Taylor is growing well and is now sleeping through the night, not bad for a 9 week old!!!
Family News
Paul and his wife Chantelle have a new addition to the family, Taylor Thomas Court was born on the 7/3/10 weighing in at 8.12 lbs, both Taylor and his mother are doing very well.
Southern Results for the Stables
14 March 2010
After winning the Sapling Stakes, Terror To Love then went South to take in the New Zealand Kindergarten Stakes at Wyndham where he finished second in a sensational 1.54.3 only getting beaten right on the line by going off stride. We later found that due to the heat that day his hobbles had stretched an inch and a half. With his hobbles changed and all sorted he went to the Forbury Park Sires Stakes heat where he went another mighty race. After sitting outside the leader for the last 800m he skipped clear only to be run down by the horse in the trail running another fast time, 2.02.6 a 1.56 mile rate for the 1700m event.
Also that day Shing Bromac made a return to the track with a fast finishing third, and Motu Star Of Pacific won very well in a fast 3.00 for the mobile 2400m.
Herbies Bro and Seel N Print are both headed for the spelling paddock. With five horses trailing last week and again this week it won't be long until we have some more lining up at the races.

With only 3 horses racing over the last month, it has still been a very busy month having taking out the prestigious New Zealand Sapling Stakes (Group 3) for 2yr olds with Terror To Love, in which he destroyed his opponents with ease after leading all the way and clearing out to win by 2 1/4 lengths in a slick 1.58.4.
We also had good placings from other 2yr olds in Seel N Print went a super race and finished 3rd at Winton after working hard early and only just getting beaten by 1 1/4 lengths in track record time for 2yr olds in 1.56.5. Herbies Bro ran a very nice race at Addington in atrocious conditions finishing 3rd in his 1st race day start.

After a quiet couple of months getting our race team ready we've hit the ground running.
Time And A Place kicked off a fresh campaign at Forbury Park 11/12/09 with a great 2nd after being held up. Also starting her new season was
Motu Star Of Pacific who went a great fresh up race with 2nd in a junior drivers race after leading up and running a slick 2.43.8 for 2200m.
She then followed that up with a nice win in Invercargill on the 23/12/09. Also down in Invercargill were Time And A Place and But But But who ran a super race fresh up after doing a bit of work mid race to finish 2nd.
The later two were joined down south by Comebackmach for the Gore 27/12/09 and Winton 29/12/09 meetings.
Comebackmach who was also fresh up was in the Gore cup went a very nice race for a close up 4th, which went to a photo finish for 3rd.
He then went on to win and win very well at Winton running a slick 2.59.3 for 2400m. Time And A Place bounced back from his Invercargill race (where he raced below par but was found to have caught a bug on his travels), with a great win beating a smart type in Stirling Point and taking his tally to 3wins, one 2nd and two 3rds from only 9 race starts.

Currently our racing team is pretty quiet at the moment with our past winner of two straight Pahiwi being sold along with Unbreakable and Courage Patron all moving on to Australia.
With a number of horses going to the trials over the past couple of weeks our race team is growing and shouldn't be far away from racing.
As for the breeding side of things we have had four of our mares foal; Hilarious Leigh had a stunning colt by Mach Three; Seymour Lass had a filly by Christian Cullen making it a full sister to Charles Bronson; Private Encounters had a filly by McArdle; Hot Talk had a filly by Jereme's Jet.
