Well, here we are in September, and here in Melbourne we are still in lockdown. So once again, we have to update you from the comfort of home.
Please click on the video below to hear all the latest on our winners and news from the Spicer camp.
Horse of the Month: Redoute’s Choice x Tango colt
Horse of the Month is this superbly bred 2 year old colt by Redoute’s Choice, the breed shaping stallion. He is currently in work with Lindsey Smith and showing all the hallmarks you want to see in a young colt.
Lindsey said he has a good brain to match his looks which is a good start to his race track career. He is closely related to a star in France who is a 3 time Group 1 winner in Persian King and now one of the most Valuable stallion prospects in the world.
Our Colt is an impressive individual who will furnish into a lovely animal in 2021.
We have room for an owner after one of our client’s found it difficult in the covid lockdown.
Proposed Overnight Stable Visit
Overnight dinner with Lindsey Smith/Michel Rodd hosted by Jason Richardson. A fun informative evening talking all things horses with plenty to discuss by the panel of experts. The following morning we will watch trackwork on the beach before we do a stable tour at Lindsey Smiths stable seeing all the stars of the show.
Planning on Late November and to register your interest please email carol@spicerthoroughbreds.com.au . Once we have the dates locked in we will let you know ASAP.
This is strictly capped by numbers due to stable and beach visits around the horses
