Mare serves further notice of ability

29 April 2013

A WS-bred mare with strong Australian ties furthered her record in Melbourne on Thursday with the third career win for Notice Received. The four-year-old, who has also placed a further three times from her 11 appearances, was successful in Rating 82 company at Flemington.

Trained at Caulfield by part-owner Andrew Noblet, Notice Received has come back from her summer break in fine fettle and two runner-up finishes preceded her victory in the hands of Craig Williams. She is out of the Royal Academy mare Classique Royale who was a dual winner herself.

She is also a half-sister to the Gr 3 Swettenham Stud Stakes winner Apple Danish, who also won four times at Listed level and was a multiple Gr 2 placegetter. Notice Received was purhased by Nobley for $Z135,000 from WS’s 2010 Sydney Easter Sale draft.

New winner for Noverre

Noverre has another winner on the board after Platinum La Danse produced a dazzling last-to-first run to break her maiden at just her fourth career start.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

The two of you will be aware of my ongoing concern as to the future of our sport. You could argue I have a vested interest; well, I did have, but my interest now is to give the future generations the opportunity my generation had. Now I can tell you, hand on heart, there were many financial thin times. 1975 was my fledgling start with five mares on 130 acres that occasionally flooded with the well-bred, non-race-winning Super Gray.
