SACRED TED loved the fast tempo this afternoon over the 1600m. He has always shown enough at home, but he is still learning his craft. With today being a huge confident boost, we are keen to step him up to some staying trips soon enough! Great ride by Will Gordon and huge team effort, with...
She’s quirky, she’s had her minor issues & horrible run of barriers but that was a SUPER training performance by @Simon Zahra Racing to get the filly to win after a 4-week space between runs. A peach of a ride by J Childs who sent the filly forward from a horrible barrier and dictated things...
Another one of our very talented imports in DJOCKOVIC closed his race off ultra-stylishly this afternoon at Pakenham Racecourse! Taking the whole of the 2200m to get there, the son of #Kodiac looks a promising stayer in the future with still a lot to learn! With Wimbledon on at the moment the timing could not...
The son of Zacinto goes one better today second up on the synthetic with the in-form Thomas Stockdale onboard to claim Ride of the day! A model of consistency in recent times and stalking the leader at the right time, pouncing, to draw away and win convincingly. Getting the unlucky barrier 1 again, however we...
Cameron Cooke & Simon Zahra do it again with another Import!! First up over 1400m seems to be the trick with our imports. The team was extremely nervous but he was placed to perfection today at Seymour. We have had huge success Blaike and our imports, he has great patience and guides them around beautifully...
Our small but mighty Capitalist filly SOJU took to the stage at Cranbourne under the lights to give her rivals a schooling over the short trip of 1000m. As the saying goes ‘let fast horses be fast’ and that is exactly what in-form apprentice Celine Gaudray did. She jumped extremely cleanly and flew the machines,...
Ararat was taken by storm when out small, but mighty Toronado gelding Toro De Carga secured his maiden in fine style under the guidance of gun apprentice Tom Prebble. He jumped with them and travelled well in running, sitting three-back the fence. Upon straightening Tom did not panic, he stuck to the rail like glue...
It’s not going to be a win that gives SZR headlines in the newspaper, nor will it line our pockets with riches but Brilliant Venture’s victory yesterday at Swan Hill is what racing is all about. A mere $22,000NZD purchase from the New Zealand South Island, the horse was syndicated amongst a group of Simon’s...
On Sunday the SZR team made the trek down to Sale with high expectations with our progressive import Maktoob to be sent out the resounding favourite in the Ladbrokes Sale Cup. The $200,000 Listed feature looked a very winnable race on paper with the Gavin Bedgood trained Keats looking the main danger. Maktoob jumped well...
There was a sense of anticipation in the air for the owners of Djockovic on Sunday at Seymour when he lined up in the Fowles Wines Maiden Plate. After running the fastest last 200m of the meeting at Sale over the unsuitable 1400m, the writing was on the wall. Djockovic jumped positively and was able...
