Mare serves notice at Caulfield

30 September 2013

WS made its presence felt on Group One day at Caulfield where Notice Received returned to racing in fine fashion. The O’Reilly mare came back from a three month break yesterday to further a tidy record with victory at the expense of a strong field of mares.

“She was good fresh-up last preparation over 1200 metres as well,” trainer Andrew Noblett said. It was the fifth win from 16 appearances for Notice Received, who was a A$135,000 Sydney Easter Yearling Sale purchase out of WS’s 2010 draft.

The five-year-old is a daughter of the Royal Academy mare Classique Royale, a dual winner in Australia and a half-sister to the Gr.3 Swettenham Stud Stakes winner Apple Danish.

The Corner with Garry Chittick

It is not the easiest role, that of Chairman of our Thoroughbred Racing Board. Like all chairmanships, one’s mind is rarely not occupied with the responsibility. To our Chairman, I say thanks. A lifetime in the industry, Chairman of our largest club, it is difficult to identify someone more suited to the role.
