Brilliant Azmon Delivers for his fans

Regal Azmon shows an electrifying turn of foot to deliver his first win at Pakenham for his most patient and loyal fans.

With 200m to go, Regal Azmon was snookered in an almost impossible position not unlike the legendary Lonhro’s predicament in the Australian Cup 2004.

However, under the patient ride and guidance of inform J Mott, Regal Azmon was shifted back and out around toes to find room.

Once clear, this son of Magnus went into overdrive to make up 5 lengths to hit the front – in the end being eased down over the line for an incredible win.

Regal Azmon, through a Daylami mare – only has better things to come as he is stepped up over further ground.

Very exciting times for his loyal fans.

Regal Duke Claims His County

Regal Duke puts everything together showing a wonderful turn of foot to charge home and knock off Ciaron’s highly favoured galloper.

Most impressively, Regal Duke had to make his run behind a slow tempo and reel in the favourite which kicked 2- 3 lengths clear in the straight.

The key was the removal of the gear which allowed the Duke to settle just off the pace.

Strong rider Jack Hill nursed the inexperienced Regal Duke along in a tremendous ride.

Regal Duke is very green, but possesses a very competitive nature.

As soon as the leader shot clear in the straight and Regal Duke balanced up…. his ears pricked and charged at this horse.

It was never going to be in doubt from here.

Regal Duke is still very much a work in progress but we are taking some nice steps forward.

A horse which will easily step out to 2000m, learning to settle today was very encouraging and it was great to see his turn of foot when needed.

Regal valour delivers

A filly targeted for Derby distances, she has been given plenty of time and TLC related to her growth and development.

Today she has delivered in quite devastating fashion.

Kilmore is not an easy track for an inexperienced horse, but our filly showed some real class today and from a long way out – never really looked liked she would get beaten.

We had a few early challenges with Fred Kersley pulling out of the meeting – but we were lucky enough to secure the services Damien Thornton whom is a very handy jockey in his own right.

Damien could not have done a better job and was able to place our filly exactly as per instruction.

Regal Valour broke well, placed one off the fence just behind the speed and travelling in great rhythm.

400m out asked to pick up and round the leaders upon the turn and then ran right through the line.

The most impressive part was when she was challenged by the Ciaron Maher galloper…. she easily held this horse at bay – despite this one being hard fit and our girl only being about 80% wound up.

A very progressive filly on the way up!
