Zolt Wins at Pakenham
Congratulations on the big win today as we had plenty against us, but his class shone through today and Ollie was a 12/10. Ollie was really happy with him today and that’s a big plus as when Ollie gets confidence with a horse, only good things happen!
As we have been saying all along when the penny drops he will be a nice horse and he is definitely starting to go that way now. Big credit has to go to Leon Corstens as he was going to the paddock after his last run, but he put his old horsemanship into action which meant a week at the beach to get those shins right !
Hopefully we are one step closer to a S.A. Derby!
Jacoman Wins at Ballarat
CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow sums up the win today as that showed us he has a great tactical speed, coupled up with great heart as he let down like a good horse.
I thought Damien summed it up well from the jump and was really positive, did a little work early, but his turn of foot in the last 200 was devastating running good time. Ollie said “he has a very bright future as he improves every time I get on him.” and it’s exciting to be pairing with him going forward!
Leon was even a little but taken back by the improvement he showed ,but he’s not complaining. He is only just beginning his career, as he will only improve with age and the stretch out to further distances.
We will let him get over this run in the next few days and put a plan of attack together for his 3rd run which will be in the city at either Moonee Valley or Sandown.

Siegestor Wins at the Valley
Steven King rode a 10/10 race and has to be commended as he didn’t lose his nerve settling back further than we had planned ,but he didn’t feel the pressure one bit ! Steve was very happy with the horse saying the 2nd horse ran up to us, but Siegestor surged again in the last 100 and was too strong.
He pulled up well today ,but we have a good plan to set him for the Winter Championship series in May/June July. So he will have 2-3 weeks up at Balnarring at a spelling property heading to the beach every day for some R & R.
When he comes back later March we will get him going and map out a nice campaign trying to qualify for the Winter Championship Final at Flemington.

Siegestor Wins at Sandown
(Jockey) Steve King was very appreciative, as he doesn’t get the same support as he once use to, but champion riders never lose their ability and we have faith in Steve to carry us forward to a good career. He said it was simply a case of being better and much better than them today and he has plenty of upside.
For Leon and Troy it was great relief to see him come back the way he did after his setbacks in the past and if we have a trouble free prep we should be able to graduate to better races.
Well done guys, and congratulations as we have a big team of owners and its always special when we win, but with a big group it amplifies everything 10 fold.
