Back on Deck

It has been difficult returning from holidays – and a week on the Gold Coast – to a regular working week. However, with so many exciting debuts on the cards for coming weeks, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Our current band of 2YO’s are all coming along very nicely and, in fact, two of them are just about ready to make their racetrack debut. As such, over the break, we have been busily brainstorming and we are now pleased to announce the racing names for all 3 2YO’s:

Firstly, our Dylan Thomas x Away with Fairies Filly will be known as `October Wind.’ Why you ask? `October Wind’ was actually a poem penned by Dylan Thomas – and our filly was an October foal.
Secondly, our Purrealist x Portview Colt is now `Reigning Cat.’ No explanation needed there.
Finally, our Al Samer x Nightly Class Filly is `Sahara Night’ – a nice fusion of the sire and dam from long-time Clanbrooke owner Max Dent. Thanks Max.

We are yet to purchase our first Yearling for 2012, but in the meantime, we have a few shares remaining in our 2YO Oratorio x Academia Colt, our Good Journey x Race The Heart Gelding (pictured), as well as our International venture, the Sinndar x Shamsada Colt. If you ‘re not too keen to wait for a Yearling to mature, have a look at our 2YO’s who have all been broken in and are all just about ready to go.

We have a couple of owners events coming up including a day at the Ballarat races including lunch in the committee room, to be hosted in conjunction with Aquanita. Invitations will go out shortly but tickets are limited so don’t delay. In addition, we are busily planning our first Clanbrooke event for the year. Watch this space.
