From death’s door to the racetrack.
Two colic surgeries later, Chilli Crab returns at Strathalbyn today. Credit to @TzafJess, HorseMed SA & @MyRacehorseANZ for giving her a fighting chance.
She’ll be better for the run and wants it firmer but nice to have her back.

Arda Tascioglu is a wonderful example of the people who make our industry 🐎 great.
Since arriving in Australia 20 years ago, he has worked across the thoroughbred industry, from the racetrack to sales, foaling and everything in between, building a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Congratulations to Arda on receiving the Australian Thoroughbred Industry Employee Award for Horsemanship sponsored by @inglis_sales . A well-deserved recognition of his dedication and skill.

Our team is growing and we'd love you to join us to race the next exciting filly: daretodream.com.au/trainers/…

We love our partnership with @MyRacehorseANZ and today it yielded a city win at Morphettville when their beautiful Ocean Park mare ran her rivals into the ground, courtesy of a front-running masterclass from @TeaganVoorham.

It was a good old fashioned romp at Mildura from our daughter of The Autumn Sun, who continues to improve through her campaign.
Another elite ride from @mel_julius to control the race and kick away. Congrats to her owners and well done to our team.

We’re that excited for this Saturday’s Country Raceday at Murray Bridge, we’re giving away a share in our emerging 2YO filly Top Sort.
It’s pretty simple to win. Be on track and ride the mechanical bull. The longest ride wins 🤠
