Cambridge-based trainer Roger James has reported that he has class filly Silent Achiever exactly where he wants her ahead of the Gr.1 BMW Stakes (2400m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

The winner of October’s Schweppes Crystal Mile, Silent Achiever has had three starts in Sydney in preparation for the BMW Stakes. She finished fourth in the Gr.1 Chipping Norton Stakes and fifth in the Gr.1 Ranvet Stakes at her last two starts.

Mary and I had a great weekend. As usual, Taupo Race Club put on a couple of days that encourage you to go to the races. The lead-in to the day was an hour or so at the iconic Yacht Club Bar – an easy place to be, perched above the lake: wine, beer and pizzas provided. A chance to meet and greet, bearing in mind the visitors that make the effort to attend.
