The Stables Weekly Update 23rd March 2026

RACING

SMART CRY had another bad draw to contend with at Hawkesbury, and was forced to go back from the outside gate. Taken wide on the corner. she battled on down the straight, without making any impact on the finish.

PICK UP THE TAB was also a victim of a poor gate, at Wyong, on Wednesday, and forced to race 3 wide the entire 1200m, which saw her fade out in the run to the post. 

REAL BAKER was down to run at Gosford, on Thursday, only to have the races abandoned, owing to the inclement weather, and the state of the track.        

STABLE CHATTER

RESCORE is due to arrive at Hannover Lodge today to commencing pre training.  

BROADWAY FOLLIES has had a slight setback, having lashed out behind in her stall, suffering muscle soreness. Given an easy time last week, and is now back on track.   

FOXGLOVE will have another piece of strong work on the grass at Warwick Farm, on Wednesday. Looking for a jump out mid April.

REAL MAGICAL has settled into Warwick Farm well. Looking for jump out late April, trial early May.     

DECIMATE (the IN THE CONGO/ VICTIMS filly) is into her 4th week of early education, showing a bit of “attitude” and is doing everything asked of her, well. 

The BETTER THAN READY/TAVI L’ARMOUR colt is currently midway through his breaking in. 

CUESTA is currently midway through her pre training, due back at Warwick Farm mid April.
