July Stable Wrap
A big month for Herbert Bloodstock and also Herbert Harness Racing Stables.
Our star boarder, Franco Nester gave me my first Carousel when successful at Bankstown defeating Dougs Place and Comet Prince.
Franco Extreme also broke through for his first win in a long time after a long run of placings, while Life Story won his 7th race for the stable and was an unlucky runner up twice.
I have unearthed another potential top liner in the Mach 3 gelding BG Three. The 2yo ran a strong 4th at debut then was too good in his 1.58.3 victory at Menangle before being put aside to develop.
A magnificent type in appearance and in demeanour, I believe this horse to be a future Derby contender.
Franco Tinman was runner up 3 times, twice in 1.55.5 but has failed to recapture his previous winning strike rate and is spelling for 6 weeks.
Franco Emerger showed brilliance on the training track but had some issues on raced ay that led to a couple of ordinary runs, but is on top now winning his last two starts, the last closing in 56.5.
The big gelding is now with Tinman for a good break.
Herbert Bloodstock welcomed a new client in Jarrod Alchin to the camp and the combination had immediate success when trotter Earldom bolted in at debut after being backed in to even money favourite.
Jarrod`s other purchase Ushakable was not so fortunate, breaking stride at Bankstown after being well supported.
Unshakable has since won a trial easily in 1.57 and has been eased up for next seasons racing.
Both horses were very well priced.
We have had a frustrating run of placings recently, with Franco Jaggerman (2nd), Franco Emerger (3rd) BG3 (3rd) and then 2 4ths last week at HP in the $20,000 finals.
Sales include 2 wins from durable pacer Drummossie, a strong win by My Bella Mafia at Penrith, a strong 2nd from King Courage at Penrith, and 2nd placings to Earldom at Menangle and Franco Tinman in Perth
