Please take the time to read this beautiful tribute to Elsie Girl. Steve picked her out online and snagged a bargain, put a great group of owners together and they have loved and admired this horse every day since. Steve will continue to care for and love her into her retirement as she goes on to breed a future legacy. I am proud and honoured to have been her only trainer and grateful for the ride she took us on. This is how horse ownership should be, love and respect the horse first, the racing thrills second. Good luck and thank you Elsie, can't wait to see your babies.❤️
Elsie Girl — Her Final Race
By Steve Pretty
The morning sun is shining,
The track is calling her name,
And Elsie Girl is stepping out,
For one last dance of fame.

A beautiful horse, with a gentle eye,
And fire that still burns bright,
She’s carried dreams and memories,
Through many a racing flight.

With So You Think there in her blood,
A champion in her line,
And through her third dam’s family tree,
Runs a history divine.

For she shares that special bloodline,
With Kingston Town, the great,
A champion whose name lives on,
In racing halls of fate.

Now Elsie Girl walks towards the gate,
Her head held proud and high,
And every step upon that track,
Feels like a last goodbye.

She may not know this race is different,
Or that it’s her final call,
She’ll simply do what horses do —
Give everything, give all.

So let the barriers fly open,
Let the thunder fill the air,
Let Elsie Girl run free today,
With grace beyond compare.

And win or lose, the story's hers,
A mare we'll not forget,
For some horses leave a legacy,
Long after they've left the track.

So go on, Elsie Girl, one final time,
Let your colours proudly unfurl,
Run like the beautiful horse you are —
Our very special Elsie Girl.

And when you cross that finish line,
Whatever place you take,
You'll always be a champion
For every heart you made awake.

Trip over to Hamilton today with Piklemegranmother and Nankeen, Elsie Girl had to stay home with a hoof abcess unfortunately. Pikle (Temu) bumped into a very smart one and ran second for the fourth time in a row and Nankeen (Mikki) is yet go around in race 7. Hope he is on his best behaviour today.

Our young Magnus gelding Stig had a bit of an orientation day at the track this morning where he just had a look at things and a little flatwork before he steps out on the big track. We all thought he looked like he'd step straight into the showring!

Louie had his first ever gallop on the grass today with Cocoa and went around greenly but well for his debut.

Our two runners both ran 2nd today at Casterton. Not too shabby.🍻👌
