	NEW SEASON
The 20019/10 season draws to a close tomorrow. Overall we have had a very good season winning 46 races. The highlights were Believe 'N Achieve's 7 wins which saw her win more races than any other three year old in Australia for the season. She also was the three year old winner in South Australia with 5 wins and equal leader in all categories in that state. Hidden Wonder did a great job winning the $250,000 Magic Millions Stayer's Cup at the Gold Coast as well as two races at Randwick including a course record win. Rose Of Scotland won the Tasmanian Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic and ran very well in the Adelaide Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic as well. She was very well supported in Tasmania by Too Many Reds who was unbeaten in three starts during the Summer Carnival. Other multiple winners were Unser, Admiral's Cup, Our Moscato, Unchain My Heart, Hyginus, Sea Coral and Danseda. It was also a season where we saw some of our stalwarts retired. Greenmount Belle, Captain Chaos, Shine On Anna, and Magnifique Lass all wore our colours with distinction and we wish them well in retirement. Magnifique Lass is in foal to Mossman, Shine On Anna is going to Mossman and Greenmount Belle is booked to Danzero. We are heading into the new season with 27 raced horses and 24 unraced two and three year olds. Our first runners for the new season are likely to be Hidden Wonder at Randwick and Yun Fat at Ipswich. Other runners in August are likely to be Believe 'N Achieve, Rose Of Scotland, Too Many Reds, Admiral's Cup, El Tegra, Sweet Talkin Woman, Valize, Ohmygod, Merry Miss, Hyginus and Pitt Street. Exciting times ahead. Joe O'Neill

	YEARLINGS SYNDICATIONS ALMOST COMPLETE
I only have yearling shares remaining in the Danzero filly (2) and Stratum filly (2) and that I am sending to David Hayes and Tony McEvoy respectively. The response to our yearlings has been fantastic and I thank all our clients and supporters for their great support. To only have four shares left to sell so early in the year is a great advertisement for our company. Our yearling purchases are now complete. We have rising two year olds by Stratum (3), Danzero (3), Magic Albert (3), Foreplay (2), Flying Spur (1), Mossman (1), Snippetson (1), Zeditave (1), Sequalo (1) and Carnegie (1). I will be probably be syndicating two or perhaps three more weanlings this year and will be spending a lot of time preparing for next year's yearling sales that start in January with the Gold Coast Magic Millions Sale.

	STRATUM PROGENY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
First Season Sires Results 2000 - 2009 Australia I have listed the leading Australian based First Season Sires for the past 10 seasons. The figures tell a good story. Almost without exception the sires listed have gone on to be successful. Stratum’s figures are exceptional. Firstly, he gets far more runners to the races than the other horses. This shows that his progeny are sound and precocious. Secondly, he sires a lot of winners with only Lion Hunter and More Than Ready getting more. A lot of Lion Hunter’s winners would have been in Queensland where he stood at stud. Thirdly, Stratum was the only stallion in this group to claim both Champion Two Year Old Sire as well as Champion First Season Sire. The last sire to do this was the great Danehill which places Stratum in heady company. Finally, he was the only Golden Slipper winner in this group and had the honour of siring a Golden Slipper winner in his first crop. 2000 Strategic 36/10 717,508 2001 Lion Hunter 28/16 589,668 2002 General Nediym 34/121 425,930 2003 Redoute's Choice 31/7 859,771 2004 More Than Ready 36/17 1,511,963 2005 Show a Heart 32/13 603,450 2006 Choisir 49/10 1,033,500 2007 Exceed and Excel 45/14 1,072,410 2008 Charge Forward 31/7 1,157,550 2009 Stratum 52/15 3,063,878 Note: Statistics taken from Bloodhound.net.au as at 18/07/10 I have purchased four Stratum fillies over the past few months and have shares remaining in the Statum / Croisette filly which was the final one I bought. Check her out on this site. Joe O'Neill

	ADMIRAL'S CUP SCORES STRONG WIN
Admiral's Cup continued the good run we have had recently with Kris Lees. The horse never looked in danger and scored a convincing win at Scone. He is a beautiful horse by Fasnet Rock and has always indicated that he would become a useful stayer as he matured. Congratulations to the owners of this nice horse. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 13 July 2010
	UNSER OF FOR A SPELL
Unser is heading for a well earned rest. The horse has done a remarkable job after nearly dying of colic 19 months ago. We were forced to give him a long spell and he came back to racing in terrific style winning three races during the preparation as well as having a race taken off him by protest at Randwick. We are looking forward to his next preparation and where it might take him. Joe O'Neill

	PLEASING ENQUIRY RATES
I have been pleased with ou enquiry rates. Traditionally this is the quietest time of the year but we have a steady flow of requests for information which is pleasing. Joe O'Neill

	STRATUM PROGENY TOP $3 MILLION IN STAKES EARNINGS
Stratum has really consolidated his position on top of the first season and two year old lists with his fifteen winners earning $3,038,378 in stakes money. He also has the equal most winners with 15. He shares this position with Redoute's Choice ($1,107,806) and Encosta de Lago ($846,282). You should look at the two Stratum fillies I have on the market. They represent great value. Joe O'Neill

	GOOD LUCK TO TONY MCEVOY
Today's announcement that Tony McEvoy would leave Lindsay Park after 33 years to start out on his own as a trainer should not come as a great surprise. Tony is a terrific trainer in his own right having trained 930 winners including a Cox Plate winner in Fields Of Omagh. While Tony will be training under his own name things won't change all that much with Tony taking over the complex at Lindsay Park known as raceside. To train from this 93 hectare property is any trainer's dream. We are very pleased to have Tony as our third Victorian / Tasmanian trainer and he rounds out a very strong trio with David Hayes and Mark Kavanagh. I have decided to send Tony the Stratum filly I purchased at the Magic Millions National Sale. I wish Tony, Jo and their children all the best for the future. Joe O'Neill
Friday, 2 July 2010
	HYGINUS IN GREAT RETURN TO THE TRACK
The David Hayes trained Hyginus scored a very impressive win at Geelong yesterday. It was hs first run back from a long break and his second win from only three starts. Hyginus was a weanling purchase for Prime Thoroughbreds and looks to have a bright future. This follows Pitt Street's impressive debut on Saturday at Flemington. Things have been ticking over nicely for us with David with other winners Unchain My Heart (2), Sea Coral (2), Danseda, Merry Miss and Lord Monty winning in the past few months. As well as these successes we have stepped out a couple of very promising young horses and we look to have some bright prospects for the spring. Joe O'Neill

	OUT OF ACTION FOR A FEW DAYS
I will be out of contact for a few days. I have had to have surgery to repair my ruptured Achilles tendon. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 29 June 2010
	ANOTHER GOOD PERFORMANCE
This afternoon at Flemington we stepped out a two year old named Pitt Street. His performance first up was exceptional and he really looks a horse of the future. He is a big horse and was all at sea up the straight where he had no cover but in the final 200m hit the line strongly to record the fastest final 200m in the race. He was out 10th weanling syndication to hit the track and shouldn't be too long out of the winners stall. We have had eight winners from these ten to race with the best being Believe 'N Achieve. Joe O'Neill
Saturday, 26 June 2010
	UNSER SO CLOSE
Unser was beaten in the closest of finishes at Warwick Farm yesterday. The horse was in front just before the photo finish line and just after. The horse was very well ridden by Blake Spriggs who is really making a name for himself and should have a good future as a jockey. Unser has been in terrific form with three wins this preparation and lost a race on protest at his previous start at Randwick. Joe O'Neill

	WEANLING SYNDICATIONS CONTINUE TO PERFORM
The win by Believe 'N Achieve continued the great run we have had with our weanling syndications. Since we started syndicating weanlings back in 2006 when I purchased Mr Langer from Lindsay Park. Since then we have syndicated 11 that are of racing age. These horses have been well received by the market with us being able to offer them at about $25,000 below what what they would have cost as yearling syndications. This has been a great saving to our clients. In total 9 of the 12 have raced with 8 winning and the 9th being placed. The best of these have been Believe 'N Achieve, Too Many Reds, I Am Magic, Hyginus and Merry Miss. Other winners were The Hornet, Mr Langer and Face The Ace. Next Saturday at Flemington the 10th of these syndications will get to the races when Pitt Street has his first start. I have completed two weanling syndications in recent weeks and purchased a Stratum filly at the recent Magic Millions Sale. This filly is heading to Kris Lees. Information is available on her on the site. Joe O'Neill
Sunday, 20 June 2010
	STRATUM TOP OF THE CLASS
Stratum is sure to win both the Champion Two Year Old Sire as well as Champion First Season sire in Australia this season. This is a rare double with the last horse to achieve this feat being the great Danehill. I have been very impressed with the progeny of Stratum from the first time I inspected them and last year purchased a yearling filly that races under the name Rose Of Scotland. She did a great job for us winning the Tasmanian Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic as well as running 4th in the Adelaide Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic. Last year I purchased a weanling filly by the stallion and this year I have been very pleased with the Stratum filly out of Bukhoor that I purchased at the Gold Coast Magic Millions in January. At the recent Magic Millions National Sale on the Gold Coast I purchased a yearling filly out of the well related Canny Lad mare Croisette and a weanling filly out of the stakes winning mare Magic Heaven. These two lovely fillies are going to Charlie Goggin and Kris Lees. More information is available on our site but they are well worth investigating. Joe O'Neill
Sunday, 20 June 2010
	BELIEVE 'N ACHIEVE
Believe 'N Achieve scored a terrific win today at Moonee Valley and in the process she became the winner of the most races in Australia this season by a three year old. She has scored seven wins and she leads Denman, Love Conquers all and Graceful Anna with six wins. She is also our most successful weanling syndication with seven wins from her last nine starts. Well doe to Mark Kavanagh and his professional team on a job very well done. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 14 June 2010
	I AM MAGIC SCORES GOOD WIN
I Am Magic scored a solid win this afternoon in Hobart. The horse jumped well and was vey well rated by Steve Maskiell. I Am Magic is by Magic Albert and should train on to be a very nice three year old. I Am Magic was purchased by Prime Thoroughbreds and syndicated as a weanling. He became the 8th individual winner from nine horses to race that we syndicated in this way. Other weanling syndications that have proved successful include the outstanding prospect Believe 'N Achieve, very good sprinter Too Many Reds, the highly promising sprinter Hyginus and nice two year old Merry Miss. Other weanling syndications to win wearing our colours include Face The Ace, The Hornet and Mr Langer. In all these 8 horses have 18 wins from 62 starts for a strike rate of 29% wins to starts. This is very good and looks to improve with Believe 'N Achieve, Hyginus, I Am Magic, Merry Miss and Too Many Reds still racing in our colours. We have unraced two year olds that we syndicated as weanlings by Street Cry, Starcraft and Foreplay. Joe O'Neill
Sunday, 13 June 2010
	MAGIC MILLIONS STRATUM FILLY TO CHARLIE GOGGIN
I purchased a Stratum yearling filly today for Charlie Goggin to train. She will be nominated for the Adelaide Magic Millions 2 Year Old Classic and is a top class filly. The filly is by the Leading 2 Year Old Sire in Australia out of a Canny Mare Lad mare. Canny Lad is currently 9th on the Australian Broodmare List and is the dam sire of Redoute's Choice. This filly comes from one of the best female lines in the stud book. There are black type fillies right through the pedigree. The second dam Cheval Place is by Snippets and won 7 races including the Group 3 Angus Armanasco Stakes. The third dam is the dam of stakes winners Cheval Place, Snippet's Girl and Snippet's Show as well as Show 'em Sadie the grand dam of Show Barry, Makena, the dam of Rouquin, the dam of Patpong and Lady Marita the dam of Chakvetadze Other good horses in the family include Omnitrader, Showmeran, Fully Fledged, Stockade and Academy Dancer. I will be offering her as a 10 share partnership @ $7,750 each. The information will be available early next week. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 7 June 2010
	HIDDEN WONDER TOUGH AS TEAK
Hidden Wonder's effort in finishing second at Rosehill yesterday was as tough a performance I have seen on a racetrack for some time. She was posted three and four deep for the entire journey facing the breeze but she was able to continually fight back all the way up the straight and was only headed right on the line by favourite which had a soft run. The mare is likely to have her next run at Eagle Farm in the Listed Centenary Classic over 1600m. Hidden Wonder is by Danzero out of a Last Tycoon mare Princess Shorna and was a $55,000 purchase from Magic Millions. She has been a great money spinner for her conections earning in excess of $365,000 from her 7 wins. Joe O'Neill
Sunday, 6 June 2010
	WINNERS KEEP COMING
Believe 'N Achieve's win at Moonee Valley on Saturday was the 42nd by a Prime Thoroughbreds syndicated horse this season. We had had metroplolitan winners in Victoria, NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania. We have seen great performances from Hidden Wonder, Believe 'N Achieve, Rose Of Scotland, Unser, Too Many Reds, Lord Monty, Danseda, Our Moscato, Sea Coral and Unchain My Heart. With eight weeks of the season remaining it would be nice to think we could get to 50 winners but only time will tell. From my perspective it is very exciting to look forward to us heading into the new season with as many as 20 four year old or older horses on our books. Currently the team including weanlings is running at about 56 horses which is made up of 3 weanlings, 16 yearlings, 15 two year olds and 21 three year olds or older. Through the winter months we will have runners across all states although we do have quite a few horses either spelling or just coming into work to be prepared for the spring. It should be an interesting few weeks. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 1 June 2010
	BELIEVE 'N ACHIEVE STARS
Believe 'N Achieve's win at Moonee Valley on Saturday was sensational. The filly won an Open Mares race carrying 57.5kg and in doing so ran very smart sectionals. She is a very good filly and has won six of her past eight races. Congratulations to the owners and thankyou to Mark Kavanagh for doing a great job with her. I have a half brother to Believe 'N Achieve on the market. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 31 May 2010
	ANOTHER STRATUM JOINS THE TEAM
I was over the moon at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale at the Gold Coast when I secured another Stratum filly out of the stakes winning two year old mare Magic Heaven. Stratum is Australia's leading first season sire. He has done a great job and all the trainers I speak to who have them are impressed by their attitude. Magic Heaven won three races as a two year old including the WATC Gimcrack Stakes and was third in the Blue Diamond Prelude. She was a very good two year old. I didn't think I had a hope of getting her and was prepared to go to $60,000 to secure her. I will be offering her as a 10 share partnership at $6,750 each. She will go to Kris Lees who is doing a great job for us. Joe O'Neill
Thursday, 27 May 2010
	UNSER A BIT STIFF
It was a case of happiness turning to despair for the connections of Unser at Randwick on Tuesday. Unser was first past the post in the closest of finishes but was relegated to second after the connections of the second horse won the protest. Unser has done a great job this preparation and this would have been his 4th win for the prep. That's racing so they say. Joe O'Neill
Thursday, 27 May 2010
	BIG PEDIGREE BOOST ON BOTH SIDES FOR MAGIC ALBERT / CONTINENTAL FILLY
The Magic Albert filly out of the well performed mare Continental received major pedigree updates on both sides of her pedigree during the past few days. On Friday at Scone Purrpurrlena was placed second in the Listed Dark Jewell Classic. Purrpurrlena is out of Continental's half sister Magdalena. Continental comes from a prolific winning family that has serious black type performers right back to the 5th dam. Included are the very good black type performers Pre Catelan, Final Bid, Neptune's Kingdom, Tangiers, Magdalena, Stormy Summers, Star Cat, Social Soldier, Aneed and Pomany. Magic Albert has been having a very good season and it looks like getting better with Albert The Fat scoring a terrific win in the Group 1 BTC Cup at Doomben on Saturday. This is Magic Albert's second Group 1 winner. He has a host of good horses representing him at present and I expect he will be a big mover in the stallion ranks next season when this very good crop of yearlings start to hit the track. I have one or perhaps two shares left in this filly at $6,750 each. Do yourself a favour and have a look at her. She is a ripper and will be trained by Kris Lees. Joe O'Neill
Wednesday, 19 May 2010
	GREAT DAY AT WYONG
Namsarai broke his maiden today at only his second start for Kris Lees. The horse put the writing on the wall with a very good second at Newcastle last start but was too strong in the run home today. He was very well handled by Corey Brown who put in as good a ride as you would ever want to see. For a fleeting moment I thought we were going to get a double with Valize running much better for second at a remarkable price. Congratulations to the owners of both horses. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 18 May 2010
	ALBERT THE FAT CONTINUES MAGIC ALBERT'S RISE
Albert The Fat's win in the Group 1 BTC Cup at Doomben yesterday was a great boost for Magic Albert and continues the stallion's good season. Magic Albert is also represented by the very good mare Plain Magic and outstanding two year old prospect Master Harry. We have had terrific success over the years racing horses by Zeditave or his sire sons Strategic and Magic Albert. Horses that I have purchased by these stallions have won 78 races with the very good horses Calming, Horrocks, Lord Monty, Captain Chaos, Greenmount Belle, Zedatzi, Too Many Reds and Hotel Casino amongst these. I currently have a couple of shares available in the Magic Albert fillies out of Continental and Orange Marmalade. Joe O'Neill
Sunday, 16 May 2010
	WINNER NUMBER 40
Unchain My Heart's win at Strathalbyn yesterday was the 40th win by a Prime Thoroughbreds horse for the season. The impressive looking daughter of Al Maher won in convincing fashion and is a very promising stayer in the making. She was very well ridden by Paul Gatt. It has been a great season with us having a host of good horses on our books. With 12 weeks remaining in the season I am hopeful we can reach 50 winners. We have several runners racing in coming weeks including Hidden Wonder, Believe 'N Achieve, Greenmount Belle, Danseda, Our Moscato, Comzelita, El Tegra, Namsarai, Unser, Valize, I Am Magic, Foreboding, Trustey, Admiral's Cup and Commands Gold. Joe O'Neill
Thursday, 6 May 2010
	SEA CORAL BOLTS IN
Sea Coral has always displayed good ability and indicated that he would be a good stayer once he matured. Yesterday at Morphettville he gave his opposition a galloping lesson relishing the step up in distance. Congratulations to his owners. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 26 April 2010
	BELIEVE 'N ACHIEVE STUNS HER OPPOSITION
High class three year old filly Believe 'N Achieve scored her 5th win from her past six starts when she blitzed her opposition at Morphettville this afternoon. She had a tough run in transit but was travelling very well coming to the turn and the result was never in doubt once she let down. She was well handled by Billy Egan. Congratulations to the owners and our thanks go to Mark Kavanagh and his staff for another job well done. Joe O'Neill
Saturday, 24 April 2010
	DANSEDA SCORES GREAT WIN
Danseda scored a spendid win at Cranbourne yesterday when she was too good for her opposition in the Travis Harrison Memorial Cup. The most pleasing aspect of the win was that she settled beautifully behind the speed and was going away from her opposition on the line. Our last runner at Cranbourne was another Danzero filly in Hidden Wonder which also won. We can only hope that Danseda can go on to be as good as that very good mare. The win continues the great run we are having with our horses. Once again David Hayes has done a great job for us. Congratulations to the owners and Jordan Mallyon on a very professional ride. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 19 April 2010
	MAGNIFIQUE LASS SELLS
Magnifique Lass was sold at the Inglis Easter Broodmare Sale for $72,500 in foal to Mossman. The mare went to with in a couple of inches of gaining black type when she was 5th in the Doomben Roses. That would have made a big difference in the price she fetched. All in all a good result. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 13 April 2010
	MOSSMAN CONTINUES TO SHINE
Mossman continued his great recent run with Stirling Grove winning the Listed Sires Produce Stakes in Adelaide on Saturday and Ulladulla scoring another good win in Brisbane. He has had a terrific run recently and is mving up the stallions list. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 13 April 2010
	UNSER SCORES GREAT WIN
Unser stepped up to metropolitan class last night at Canterbury where he scored a decisive win. The Mossman gelding was beautifully ridden by Blake Spriggs. This has been a very good preparation with the horse winning three races. It is a near miracle that he is racing after a near fatal colic attack that forced him to have almost a year off. Congratulations to his patient owners and to Kris Lees for yet another job well done. In other news Danseda ran very well at Bendigo where she was placed third. Joe O'Neill
Friday, 9 April 2010
	BUSY WEEK AHEAD
It looks like being a busy week on and off the track for the next week. I am in Sydney for the mare's sale where Magnifique Lass and Shine On Anna will be sold. Both are good types with nice pedigrees. Today we had Danseda line up in a good race at Bendigo where she finished a good third. Tonight Unser runs at Canterbury. On Saturday at Morphetville we have Perossa having her first start and depending on the weather Believe 'N Achieve resumes. We are in Hobart on Sunday with Trustey and Sea Coral runs in South Australia on Wednesday. Thursday is a big night with night racing kicking off in Launceston. It should be a great night and we will be represented by Captain Chaos with Damien Oliver aboard. The 'Captain' has been a great horse for us but all good things must come to an end and this will be hios fairwell to the racetrack. Let's hope he goes out a winner. His half brother by Nadeem sold for $220,000 in Sydney today. Joe O'Neill
Thursday, 8 April 2010
	GREAT WEEKEND FOR OUR SUPPORTERS
Saturday 3 April 2010 was one hell of a day for our supporters. It started off with the three year old Mossman horse Neeson winning the Listed Darby Munro Stakes at Rosehill. I have been a big supporter of Mossman for some time and have supported him having syndicated six of his progeny. Five of these have raced for four winners with Our Moscato, Unser and Merry Miss still racing and looking like progressing to metropolitan class. Neeson was one of five winners for Mossman over the weekend. Other notable winners were Parriwi at Canterbury, Buffering at Eagle Farm and Street Singer at Oakbank. Mossman is really starting to fire and his two and three year olds are doing a great job. He hardly has any four year olds or older racing due to infertility and health issues early in his career. In fact he has only had ten four year olds race this season for seven individual winners. The Golden Slipper produced an amazing result for us. I have syndicated two progeny of both Stratum and Foreplay this season and with those two stallions offering the quinella in the Golden Slipper our four yearlings purchased for $30,000, $80,000, $30,000 and $30,000 look very good purchases indeed. In Brisbane, Sequalo had a double with Tierqualo and Steel Lips scoring good wins. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 6 April 2010
	MOSSMAN COLT OUT OF SCARLET TANGO
Mossman had his 9th individual two year old winner for the season on when Buffering scored a terrific win at Doomben on Saturday. This places him one behind Jet Spur and equal with Redoute's Choice for the most individual two year old winners. In other exciting news for our colt, Cullen who appears on the pedigree page sired a Group 3 winner in Dubai on Saturday night when Joy And Fun won the Group 3 Al Quoz Sprint. This colt is a ripper and you should do yourself a favour and have a close look at his pedigree. Joe O'Neill
Tuesday, 30 March 2010
	BELIEVE 'N ACHIEVE RETURNS TO THE TRACK
Believe 'N Achieve will return to the track this Saturday at Morphettville in a 3 yo 1050 m race. The filly did a great job last preparation winning four races on the trot. I'm sure her loyal band of owners can't wait to see her race again. She was the first horse I syndicated with Mark Kavanagh and I now have seven with Mark including four yearlings. Joe O'Neill
Monday, 22 March 2010
	GOLDEN SLIPPER
This year's Golden Slipper is as wide open as I can remember. the horses I like for the race are as follows: Decision Time is a very good two year old by Foreplay. He is unbeaten in four starts and seems to be improving with racing. Hinchinbrook is by a potentially great young stallion out of a very good mare. He has the big 'class' factor on his side. Stirling Grove is not in the Slipper but if he wins easily in Adelaide on Saturday his owners should consider paying a late entry. Crystal Lily is a very high class filly and is on the up. She is an ideal Slipper type now that the track seems to favouring the on paced runners. Master Harry probably won't start but he is top class. I'll update my thoughts next week. Joe O'Neill
Thursday, 18 March 2010
	ANOTHER DOUBLE
David Hayes continued to produce outstanding results for us today with a double at Balaklava. Unchain My Heart is a not easy to handle but produced a sustained finishing burst from the 500m to grab victory on the line on a day when the on pace runners dominated. This filly was only having her second run and is a half sister to Captain Chaos. It was an amazingly good win. Congratulations to all associated with the win. Our second runner at Balaklava was equally as impressive. Sea Coral unleashed a terrific finishing burst to run away from his rivals in another effort that defied the trend of racing on the day. Congratulations to the owners of both horses. Joe O'Neill
Wednesday, 10 March 2010
	ROSE OF SCOTLAND RUNS WELL
Our Stratum filly Rose Of Scotland put in a very good effort to finish 4th in the $200,000 Adelaide Magic Millions. She got back in the field and made up good ground in the run home in a race where there was no early speed. The filly has gone for a well earned rest. Joe O'Neill
Wednesday, 10 March 2010
	EVERYTHING IS ROSEY
Rose Of Scotland gave her owners a terrific thrill yesterday when she scored an outstanding win in the Tasmanian Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic. It was clear coming to the home turn that she was travelling really well and she was the horse to beat. Charlie Goggin is to be commended on a job well done and Steve Maskiell's ride was first class. The filly will now head to Adelaide for the South Australia's Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic worth $200,000. It has been an exciting few months and the winners have come on a regular basis. Rose Of Scotland was purchased at the Adelaide Magic Millions for $47,500. Joe O'Neill
