A really outstanding record

2 November 2015

The well-related O’Really might not have been a star on the track, but she has proved a gem at stud. The Centaine mare, the winner of just one race, has proved her worth in the broodmare paddock with a 100 per cent record.

The latest member of her brood to enjoy success is the Stephen Gray-trained Murrayfield, who broke his maiden in Singapore last night. The Pins colt was making only his second race day appearance when he proved too good for his rivals over 1400 metres at Kranji.

Murrayfield is the seventh winning foal to the races for O’Really, whose best performers so far have been the Australian stakes winner Keano (Pins) and the Group performer Be Delicious (Danasinga). The dam is a half-sister to the WS’s champion stallion O’Reilly.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

A couple of years ago, I hosted a number of friends and family at a local restaurant to enjoy my 80th birthday. It seems like yesterday, we had a great time with numerous testimonials, both serious and humorous. I am astounded at how the past two years have added to my CV in what seems like a flash. I can only believe my involvement in Thoroughbred Racing has provided all one could wish for as one ages.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

I don’t know if the two of you have ever had the thrill of travelling at high speed across the water on a single ski, totally dependent on the driver of the boat. Fall off and you are left treading water, reminds you of racing. Here we are, with multiple hints of navigation hanging on to the rope hoping for salvation.
