How good is this @stoneycreeknz 👏 the first ever Stoney Creek NZ retail store, and Hazel and Harvey were straight in there! Pop on down if you’re in the area!
Things we really love to see 😍🙌
#WSNZBred Sagunto, son of the late, great O’REILLY, claiming his third Gr.3 Manawatu Cup 🏆

A true warhorse for Peter & Shaun McKay - 77 career starts, 10 wins, 19 placings and just shy of $500,000 in earnings.

Tough, genuine and as honest as they come, he absolutely epitomises his sire 💚👏
The band is back together 🙌 Chittick and McConnell kids out the front of the new @stoneycreeknz retail store in Tirau! Awesome to have Charlotte and Harry back on home soil for Christmas.
