Amovatio Wins the Hawkesbury Cup
Congratulations to the whole team on Saturday’s Cup win!
Wow, how blessed are we to be racing such a gutsy horse like Amo, he had everything stacked against him yesterday and still came out on top. Chris Waller needs so much credit on how he has placed Amo throughout his career and to take his earning’s to $816k as a 5 year old is a superb effort, especially when he has a few years left of racing ahead of him. He now becomes very hard to place with his rating so high, but Chris will get him on the right path I am sure !

Trainer’s View:
Amovatio has come through his winning run with no problems and he certainly was a deserved winner. I have been going through his race record over the weekend and he has had a lot of near misses but he has certainly done a great job in the race that he has won as well.
It is certainly not over yet, we want to win a few more races and his prize money is up around the $800,000 mark. If we could get it up to the million, well what a fantastic job he has done for all of us.
Congratulations again to all our owners.

Amovatio Wins a 1200m at Caulfield
Well what a ride this boy is taking us on and to see that today when he was going to be a certainty beaten ,to snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat was superb!
Hughy Bowman just cold as ice nerves ,waited ,waited ,then waited before pointing Amo’s nose into a needle eye opening and as usual our little bulldog did the rest .
Go and enjoy a cold one tonight to celebrate as we all pinch ourselves to be involved in such a special little horses
POST-RACE REPORT:
Amovatio (Al Maher/Grand Ovation):
He scored well first up when winning impressively with his big weight but Hugh Bowman made it look easy and I think all credit should be going to him as well as our staff. This horse was a sick horse when he had his short break and like us, when under no pressure the horse will recover quicker from an illness, when under pressure and trying to get to other races it just makes it impossible. You need to respect their lungs as that is what gets their oxygen and blood flowing and he has done a fantastic job today. Well done!
