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

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.
