Suze Spritz Secures Third Win of the Prep

Suze Spritz became the second leg of a stable double on Friday at Terang when securing her third victory of the preparation. The tough Bivouac three year old filly was unusually outsped early and was forced to sit third pair back. She was exposed early in the straight and really had to dig deep but was able to make enough ground to run down the leaders and just hold off a fast finishing horse on the outside to take out the BM62. She's had a long preparation so we haven't made any grand plans yet, however this is a filly who just loves winning and will give her all each time for you. Congratulations to the Hesket Bloodstock team who have thrown their support behind the stable and are getting some great early results.

The Captain Claims the Colac Cup

On Friday at Colac the long range plan came together nicely with tough galloper Active Duty claiming the 2026 Colac Cup. After a good Spring campaign that netted a couple of benchmark race wins, he was given a short break to aim up at some country cups including the Camperdown and Colac cups. Sent out a very short priced favourite after a bold second placing at Caulfield, Yendall sent Active Duty forward in his customary role where he was able to dictate terms early. Under pressure from well before the bend, the Captain kept finding and staved off the challenge from high priced imports Gregolimo and Mr Waterville, and willed himself to the line. It was incredible to see such a massive group of, mostly local, owners out there on the day and I'm sure it's an experience they'll never forget. There are exciting times head for this group of owners who will likely head towards the Darwin Cup in August via the Alice Springs Cup.

Maiden Win for Succaforyou

The ladies of Lindsey Smith Racing had a day out at Kyneton on Friday with their flashy chestnut filly Succaforyou knocking off her maiden win in style. The filly, majority of which is owner by Lindsey's wife Rebecca and a group of her friends, jumped just fairly from the barriers but mustered good speed to take up a share of the lead. Jockey Fred Kersley, who was riding out of fear of letting down his mother-in-law, was able to dictate from there, using the tight turning Kyneton circuit to our advantage and booted away in the straight. She got a little tired late but was able to score and take the prize. She will now go out to the paddock and enjoy some sunshine before coming back next preparation with some good experience under her belt.

Stirling Stars at Terang

Today at Terang we saw a newly gelded version of promising stayer Star of Stirling and it's fair to say we like what we see. Sent out a short priced favourite Will Gordon was able to see them all in front of him at the 600 pole, giving him a very quiet ride before unleashing a powerful finish over the concluding stages to score a comfortably win first up at the 2156m trip. It was only a weak race today but the horse will improve significantly fitness wise from that and has more in store for the preparation. A special mention to the owners who have been very patient with this guy. He's been a slow maturing, typical northern hemisphere bred horse but he appears to have switched on and is a horse than can go onto bigger and better things. His next assignment will likely be at Warrnambool on the 9th March where he will improve sharply.

Top Award for Mozzie

At Camperdown on Saturday we saw a very nice mare in Mosquito Award break through for her first win, rewarding her owners for their patience. Coming off a very game 2nd placing on debut, she was sent out one of the favourites and was able to get the gun run one out, one back. She got around the tight turn at Camperdown and hit a flat spot but when she balanced up she was able to unleash a good sprint and get her nose in front on the winning post. Having shown talent at home from day dot, she has taken a while to fully physically mature and show her best but we're confident now that she's got her maiden out of the way there will be plenty more to come. Congratulations to the Bouchier family who have been great supporters of the stable and we're looking forward to seeing her at the Warrnambool carnival this year.

Exciting Filly Cuts Loose at Yarra Valley

Coming off a very gallant second placing on debut, exciting Hanseatic filly Set Me Loose was sent around $1.30 favourite at Yarra Valley and didn't let the punters down. She showed good early speed to lead from the inside barrier and was rarely pressured throughout, booting away on the turn and was idled down the last 100m for a soft 3.75L victory. Congratulations to a terrific group of owners who have been great supporters of the stable. We think this filly is without doubt stakes class and will head to the paddock for a short break before tackling some tougher assignments in the Autumn. The filly was a $150k purchase from Forest View Farm at the 2024 Perth Magic Millions sale.

Spritz Blitz at Werribee

Tough filly Suze Spritz produced her second win and just her 6th start on the quick backup at Werribee. After being slightly disappointing at Terang on the 2nd of January, Lindsey was bullish that she'd run a good race at Werribee on the Monday. Jockey Ryan Hurdle was able to lob her just in behind the leader who was setting a solid tempo. Ryan took off quite early to fend off the leader before fighting off a huge challenge from the favourite. She was super tough to the line and now looks ready to take on some stronger company. Special mention to her strapper Mark who always has his hands full with her but does a great job at the races and at home. Congratulations to the Contract Racing team who have thrown their support behind the stable and we look forward to training many more winners for you in the near future.

Stable Double at Terang

On Tuesday we took two talented mares to Terang and came away with the best possible result, with Move the Torana and I'm Helro breaking their maidens in terrific style. Move the Torana has been knocking on the door for quite some time and saluted at her 10th career start. Forced to go back from the widest alley, she was 20 lengths off the speed before Fred was able to make a long, sustained run on her from well before the bend. She made up an enormous amount of ground and thundered down the outside to score a much deserved victory. It was then I'm Helro's turn in race 4 on the program. There was good speed early which enabled I'm Helro to find her feet and move into the race from a wide midfield position. A patient ride from Fred saw him save her for one last crack at them and she showed a lovely turn of foot to run them down. Both are nice, progressive mares that can now go on with the job and win plenty more races for their owners. Thanks to all of the owners involved who have been very patient and will be rewarded going forward.

Suze Spritz Sizzles at Werribee

On Monday at Werribee, a talented filly in Suze Spritz knocked off her maiden in commanding style. She showed good speed out of the machine and was aided by an excellent ride by Fred Kersley, sitting quietly on her and booting away over the last 200m. Coming off a first up run at Penshurst over 1000m, the 1400m was a small doubt in the minds of punters and analysts alike, however Lindsey very early on in the preparation was able to look at her action and identify that she would be a filly that would appreciate the 1400m and trip further going forward. She's a progressive filly and we hope that she'll be on that can end up a city winner later in the preparation. A big thank you to David Moodie and the Hesket team who have entrusted us with the filly. Hopefully it's the first of many wins we can put on the board for you.

Oaks Day Jackpot for Guerite

An already incredible Oaks Day for the team was capped off with a gutsy win from Rosemont homebred mare, Guerite. Jumping from barrier 7, she was able to land in an ideal position midfield, albeit with plenty of traffic to contend with. She settled well at her first attempt at a mile and after a few nervy moments, Fred Kersley was able to take the gap and find clear running. She was tough over the concluding stages, gaining the upper hand from a gallant Barbie'sdreamworld to take out the $500,000 feature. You will not see two better rides than Fred's last two on this mare and we're all absolutely thrilled to see Fred scoring a win on the big stage. Black type races await this mare now as we give her a short break before possibly targeting the Tasmania or Adelaide carnivals in the hope of making her a valuable broodmare prospect. A huge congratulations to the team at Rosemont who are such wonderful supporters of the stable and have been able to provide both winners on the day a nice change of environment during freshen ups this preparation. There's plenty more to look forward to with this mare and we're excited to see it unfold.
