Mark’s Mail – 18 May
This week it was great to see Rock ‘n’ Pop notch up another winner – congratulations to Albert and the team at Go Racing as well as trainer Lisa Latta.
Ocean Park filly Another Dollar was huge in the Gr. 2 The Roses at Doomben last weekend and was unfortunately caught on the line to come a very close second from a wide barrier. I think she will be extremely hard to beat in the
Queensland Oaks and wish her owners and the team at Chris Waller Racing all the best.
Please take the time to watch the stallion video here – our Marketing Manager Jasmine along with Dan and Nicky from Play Creative have done a terrific job on this piece and it is a must see.
I would like to welcome anyone who is interested in viewing our stallions to the farm. Also, if you would like
to receive a mating analysis to see if your mare is compatible with any of our stallions please don’t hesitate to
get in touch with myself, Gareth or Jeremy.
The stallions are all in excellent order and are fit and ready for the breeding season which isn’t too far away now!
Have a great weekend,
Mark
