PRIVATE EYE to THINK ABOUT IT:
āHow did I run the fastest last 600m and equal fastest last 200m and still get run down?ā
THINK ABOUT IT:
āItās got me beat.ā
The boss with his new favourite son! š
Doubt we will ever be able to explain how THINK ABOUT IT went from a provincial maiden to a bona fide star in less than 11 months but we are very grateful to be in this position & overwhelmed by all the messages we have received. Thank you
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?!
Think About It wins the Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup at only his 9th start.
Sam Clipperton delivers a great ride for the
@PrideRacing
and
@ProvenTbreds

Words canāt express how proud we are of STOCKMAN after his gallant 8th in the Melbourne Cup, running the 2nd fastest last 200m of the race! With better luck from the 1000m we might have been challenging for a top 4 finish but full credit to the winner GOLD TRIP - best horse won!
Congrats to IMPERATRIZ connections. What a great spectacle for racing to see 2 elite sprinters going toe to toe. Couldnāt be prouder of PRIVATE EYEās first crack at 1000m since his debut in 2020. Bring on the TJ ā ļø
Hard to imagine there will ever be another SNITZEL like SCALLOPINI.
13 wins (6 stakes) from 45 starts in a career that spanned an incredible 7 years!
In terms of longevity he is the benchmark, at least in our eyes. Enjoy retirement old boy.

Now the dust has settled on yesterdayās Stradbroke, we can reflect on what a mighty effort it was by PRIVATE EYE. As hard as it was to take, his unlucky defeat confirms
@PrideRacing
has him back to his best. Thank you for all the messages & see you in the spring! (Program TBD)
We couldnāt watch the race together but we will bask in the glory together!
Thank you for all the messages - itās very humbling. The great thing about this industry is how quick everyone is to congratulate one another when they have success.

PRIVATE EYEās half brother was always going to be on our radar but this purchase went far beyond sentimental value. When we first saw him we were blown away by an uncanny resemblance to big brother, right down to the same white marking on his head. Welcome to the fam Lil āSpadeā!
Another incredible effort by PRIVATE EYE today.
First go at 2000m, first go at WFA, first go Melb way, and runs home the fastest last 1000m, 800m & 600m of the race!

Who else has watched this replay 5938272 times?
So proud of PRIVATE EYE and very pleased to report he has absolutely bounced out of last Saturday. Will likely trial before the Golden Eagle on Oct 30. šµļøāāļøš
Nothing was beating DUAIS today congrats to
@edancue
but super proud of STOCKMANās effort to run 2nd at WFA. This 5yo gelding has now earned the best part of $1million and canāt wait to see him drop 8kg in the $2million G1 Sydney Cup!
@PrideRacing
In what has been a shocking 48 hours for our industry, we would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to jockeys, Leah Kilner, Elissa Meredith & Juana Andreou, along with their families & friends š
This just highlights the dangers faced by riders and ground staff every day š¤
PRIVATE EYE was a tough sell. In fact the last shares in him were not sold until a few weeks before his first barrier trial as a late season 2YO.
Goes to show that the speed with which shares are sold in a horse has absolutely no bearing on their potential.

Canāt understand the obsession with attracting internationals. Apart from the inordinate number of breakdowns, they do nothing to boost betting turnover as the Aus public is not familiar with their form and if they win, prizemoney goes offshore & is not reinvested locally.
@PacificPonies
@DamienRactliffe
Breakdowns of internationals in the Melbourne cup was ruining the reputation of our most watched race and our sport. Rules had to come in to try and prevent that. Rules have come in, now they are being followed, so far with a safer Melbourne Cup. Rules doing their job so far. EOS
Just to clarify for media - yes
@smthornton99
is absolutely riding GOTTA KISS in the Magic Millions. They have an unbreakable bond!
Merry Xmas everyone š
Incredibly proud to sponsor the Group 2 Guy Walter Stakes for another year. It's now been a decade since we lost Guy but we still have a lifetime of memories. Good luck to all the runners at Randwick today.
#GHW
The Australian Turf Club has renamed a historic Group 1 race to honour the achievements of one of the most popular champions of the modern era, Verry Elleegant š
It is with a heavy heart we confirm the GOTTA KISS journey has come to an end...she is ready to be a mum.
> Won first Brisbane 2YO race of the season
> Defeated ANDERS in pre-Xmas 2YO race over 1000m
> 2nd to ROTHFIRE in G1 JJ Atkins
> Stakes placed behind SEPTEMBER RUN, ISOTOPE
GOTTA KISS capped an excellent 2yo campaign with 2nd place in the Group 1 JJ Atkins on Saturday. In 8 starts she has won 3 and placed 4 times (twice at stakes level). She heads out for a well-deserved break now and will be back for the Magic Millions Guineas in January! šš¤
So assume there is now a precedent set where if Randwick receives 200+ mm of rain it is deemed safe for racing (no matter how big or small the meeting).
PRIVATE EYE & THINK ABOUT IT are locked & loaded for
#TheEverest
We are incredibly privileged to be represented by 2 live chances in the race & want to thank all the well wishes we have received. Go get āem boys!
86% retired or banished to a regional stable
78% couldnāt win beyond country/provincial grade
75% havenāt won more than $100k in prizemoney
22% remain winless
Some stats for your consumption on Sydney's first official 2YO trials:
Weāve never purported to be ānumber 1ā in the syndication business, there are way too many variables for anyone to consistently hold that mantle. However what we can claim is more stakes wins than any competitor in Australia since 2021
4 of the last 5 Melbourne Cup winners have both SADLERS WELLS & DANEHILL in their first 4 generations. Interesting to note the current top 6 in betting for tomorrow all meet this criteria:
ā Vauban
ā Without A Fight
ā Gold Trip
ā Absurde
ā Soulcombe
ā Lastotchka
A bit surreal having THINK ABOUT IT in a G1 at just his 9th start but such is his prodigious talent.
We are going into the race with no expectations but fair to say if he wins tomorrow he could be very special indeed.

Wishing SINGLE GAZE all the best in retirement! Her dam REDALUCA'S GAZE won 3 races for us before badly bowing a tendon. Thankfully vet Allan Frogley saved her from being put down. Hard to believe her leg was in a cast for months before producing a once in a lifetime horse!
PRIVATE EYE has thankfully pulled up ok after being poleaxed at the 600m. Jockey
@brentonavdulla
sensibly eased him out of the race in case there was something amiss. If Randwick dries out sufficiently in time for the All Aged Stakes in 2 weeks then the plan will be to run.

After pulling up with a knee injury from the Magic Millions meeting, we have decided to retire stakes winning SEBRING mare CANDIKA. She gave our owners a wonderful ride, earning almost half a million in prizemoney from 19 starts. She will make a wonderful mother!

The epitome of Joe Pride's patience. Went shin sore 3 times as a younger horse but now we have a serious prospect as a 4YO, an age when many other horses are either on the way down or at stud.
An incredible performance from Private Eye to finish a close 2nd in the $15m Everest ā ļøš A massive thrill for all of the team! Well done to

for having him in tip top order and congratulations to

Great to see Racing Vic & the W.R.C acknowledging the Light Horsemen at the āBool Sunday including Lieutenant Guy Haydon and his famed mount Midnight. Little known factā¦.Guy Haydon was the grandfather of another great horseman, GUY HAYDON WALTER.
Farewell old boy. Unfortunately we never saw the best of SIR MOMENTS but he's earned a long & happy retirement.

@inglis_sales
If you want your horses to actually be trained by the trainer (as opposed to a foreperson in a mega stable) go to a small-medium sized operation. Hands on trainer with a personal service should be priority, particularly for your first venture into the Australian market.
You have to commend RNSWās initiative to develop the sport in recent years but prizemoney has become too top heavy.
Most participants are not going to see the benefits of these changes.
Itās been said before but maidens should be priority no 1!
