Kiriana Backs Up!
A busy weekend for Kiriana culminated in a very impressive win over 1600m on the Sunshine Coast. The intention was for her to run over 1800m at the Gold Coast on Saturday, and we had been banking on rain falling during the afternoon to make the conditions perfect for...
Simply Gold!
The recent decision to get Simply So onto a tighter track to ensure she gets a stronger race tempo paid dividends with an impressive win at the Gold Coast yesterday. The mare has a history of overracing in the middle of her races when the speed slackens, wasting a lot...
That’s Our Sheila….!
A nice mention of Sheila and Ethereal from Racing.com's Grace Ramage remembering the horses and women who meant so much to her as she grew up in racing:
Starting To Heat Up!
After a quiet winter period for the stable, things are starting to heat up at Esprit Racing! Impacted by the retirements of long term stable favourites Irish Constabulary and Mewstone Rock, and of course treading on egg shells during COVID-19, racing was fairly quiet...
Our Legend Irish Retires!
Just a few facts about the legend that was our Irish Constabulary who retired today: - bred by Gerry Harvey’s Baramul Stud - by Flying Spur out of Irish Truce - born 25/11/2008 - bought by the eagle eyed John Symons for $85k at Magic Millions 2010 - raced first...
It’s Another Irish!
The niece of stable legend, Irish Constabulary, 4yo mare Irish Ace finally had her time in the sun with an excellent performance winning at only her second race start at Sunshine Coast on June 21st. When we say time in the sun, well not exactly, as she was faced with...
Thunder Rolls On!
A very workmanlike but impressive win by Thunder Mania at Sunshine Coast over 1400m last night, one that put him into consideration for a Group 1 start in the JJ Atkins on June 6 at Eagle Farm. Ridden by Larry Cassidy, the colt was having his 4th start and looking to...
Thunder Returns!
An excellent return to racing by Thunder Mania as he started his autumn/winter campaign at Sunshine Coast today. At $2.30 in a field of 7, and continuing the stable's unlucky run of barriers by drawing 7, the 2yo colt flopped out of the barrier some 3 lengths behind...
Simply Stunning!
A simply stunning win by Simply So in today’s 1000m Benchmark 62 at Sunshine Coast! Stunning in terms of her visually exciting charge from virtually last on the turn with 59kg, and stunning in that she had never performed at her best on the slow track that confronted...
