Mark’s Mail – August 3
We’re still waiting patiently for our first foal to arrive and have been flat out this week with plenty of people through to see our stallions. We celebrated the end of another massive season this week and are so proud of the achievements made by our stallions and horses we have bred. We were thrilled to be announced as finalists for the Breeder of the Year Award after 23 Stakes horses made us so very proud in the 2017-18 season including our trio of Gr.1 Classic winners Savvy Coup, Embellish and Hasahalo.
We look forward to seeing what lies ahead in the coming season and all the best to everyone out there breeding, racing or just enjoying the game!
Have a great weekend.
Cheers
Mark
