21 November to 27 November brought out some happy faces in and around the K J Parker Stables.
We were thrilled to have three winners salute in just seven days!
First off, we had Tom Cruising take out the BM64 1600 metre race at Hawkesbury on 21 November 2024. He managed to come from well back to run home strong, weaving his way through the middle of the pack to take home his second victory. Cheers to Lee Magorrian for another super ride and also Congrats to Christine on this win. We love having him around the barn with us – we hope there are many more wins in store for him.
We then had Justela win the 1300 metre BM72 Midway race at her home track – Kembla Grange, together with jockey, Jay Ford. She showed her brilliant turn of foot as she got close to the winning post and was able to take home win number 5. She is such a beautiful mare – who tries so very hard. Thanks Jay for the ride and also Congrats to her wonderful bunch of owners!
Then to cap off the week nicely, Vieste won at Newcastle in the Class 1 race over 1850 metres. She jumped out from the barriers and pinged straight to the lead and the rest of the pack weren’t ever able to catch her from then on. She held her lead nicely down the straight and was just too good – they couldn’t get to her and she now takes home her 2nd victory in her racing career, alongside her 2 minor placings. She was so tuff in this race and we were so happy for her owners to be able to get her back into the winners stall, so congrats to them and also thank you jockey Tim Clark for another brilliant front-running ride.
Huge thanks go to my staff who have all been working so well despite the hot weather conditions – all your hard work shows off when we can have many of our horses winning races and looking and feeling a million bucks, so thank you!
