Interesting filly, my view is that something unfortunate will have to happen for this not to be a classic filly at some point, time will tell..

@newmanrepcic.bsky.social

Interesting horse this one the more he raced, the further he went the better he looked, which can only bode well really for a classic campaign... Seems a durable horse as well, raced 8 times at 2... It will be interesting to see how he goes...

@newmanrepcic.bsky.social

A very interesting horse this has proved to be already.. Is it a classic horse time will tell, I don't think the horse will be far away if I am honest in what at this stage looks quite an open year...

Interesting horse this I think ahead of the European Classics, it certainly has the immediate pedigree to get involved in my view... Could well be a classic horse this in my view...

@newmanrepcic.bsky.social

End of year review... UK & Ireland ones first, 36 horses have become 31 due to some being gelded and a couple looking like sprinters... I wonder how many classic winners are in this video.. If history is anything to go by the past half a decade or so, quite a few...

@newmanrepcic.bsky.social

I enjoy this series.. This past weekend saw this damline produce a Group 1 winner in New Zealand as well as a listed 2yo winner at Doomben, it is still delivering the goods.. Would I have identified this horse now, older horse so probably not..

Time for a quick website update ahead of the first classic in South Africa tomorrow afternoon, lovely time 2.10 in the afternoon, so no excuses here, if I can find some good horses here it would be quite useful lol..
No pressure on the first one then lol...

First crack at the South African classics possibly, this filly ticks a lot of the boxes I look for, so lets see how she goes if she runs in a classic at some point this season (1st one on 6th Dec)..

A 33% sale rate for the 2025 first season stallion in focus at the sales Naval Crown was not what I was hoping for it is fair to say.. 3 identified, only one sold... Hopefully all three lots go well next on the track...

An interesting horse I think ahead of the New Zealand 2,000 Guineas this weekend, my horses could only managed 5th last week in the 1,000gns at best, I am learning plenty whatever happens this is the 1st year I have tried to take them out..
