25.01.2022 We head to beaut Ballarat Turf Club at Sportsbet-Ballarat with just the one runner today. HOT SEAT's rating has got to a tricky spot where under current programming being a 57 rater makes it hard to get a run in a BM58. However thanks to scratchings we are in today and the big boy is feeling good and itching to go. Fresh off his trip to Flemington, Sam Payne will pilot today and is sure to give us every chance.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

25.01.2022 Come and race this exciting half brother to BELLA VELLA with us. Contact Ash on 0419 356 185 to get involved.

24.01.2022 The exciting OAK BRIDGE steps out in the 1st at Sandown Lakeside today. Theres a lot to like about this 3yo gelding by Night Of Thunder. His first prep was a great grounding and a little luckless. He has been working the house down this time in and while the 1200m is short of his ideal trip, we are excited to see what he produces first up. Good luck to Mr Shearer and everyone involved.

24.01.2022 Today we head to terrific Terang & District Racing Club with a couple of runners. In the 4th we have LITTLE ZIPPER. Safe to say we were disappointed with her last run at Echuca. She pulled up lame after that run and with a bit of work from our gun farrier we are on top of that now. Expect to see her ridden forward today under the urgings of Christine Puls.... Good luck to all of her connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

23.01.2022 Happy Melbourne Cup day everyone. Hope you all have a great day and cheer home a winner. We are off to Echuca Racing Club with LITTLE ZIPPER running in the 3rd. A little bit disappointing last time out. She steps up to the 1400m today, has drawn well and should roll forward. We expect an improved effort today.... Good luck to her big bunch of owners. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

21.01.2022 Also at donald we have AFFINITY BELLE in the 6th. She didn't handle the track last time at Echuca. Another horror draw for the team but she races best when she gets back and has won over the course and distance. She has won twice second up from three attempts and it wouldn't surprise to see her make it 3. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

21.01.2022 Off to Ararat Turf Club today with LOGO LOGIC. Second up after a super run first up where he had to work across from the wide gate and the weight told late. Today he gets a bit of a weight relief from the Alana Kelly claim and the inside draw should help him save some tickets. He will be figuring in the finish today.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

21.01.2022 Young horse education this morning. Calm and slow, pony has her in tow.

20.01.2022 Sad close to 2020 We draw an end to 2020 with some sad news for owners Jeff and Kerry A'Vard losing their lovely mare Affinity Belle to colic. Molly was a treat to have around the stable and will be missed. She was a gorgeous mare and a competitor. ... We look forward to taking the lessons she has tought us, as all our horses have done, and using them to honour her with every success we may have in the future. May 2021 be a happier year for everyone.

20.01.2022 Racing today is on the synthetic at Ballarat Turf Club at Sportsbet-Ballarat. In the 3rd we have LITTLE ZIPPER. Safe to say we have been a little disappointed with her last couple of efforts. We've made a couple of changes today, we have chosed to put the blinkers back on. The other change was forced on us with Alana Kelly taking the ride on her dads horse, we have opted to put Christine Puls on. Good luck to everyone involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

20.01.2022 Off to brilliant Bendigo Jockey Club on thier cup day with the one runner. Exciting prospect OAK BRIDGE goes around in the first. He was solid on debut over a trip that should prove short of his best. Out an extra furlong today is in his favour and Christine Puls has done a bit of work with him and will give him the grouse from barrier 3. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

19.01.2022 Off to happy Hamilton Racing-Club with the one runner today. AFFINITY BELLE steps out in the 7th race on the card. She has been a bit disappointing this prep but get the pole draw here and is tactically versitile. Christine Puls will give her ever chance.... Best of luck to her owners and all connected. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

18.01.2022 Off to brilliant Ballarat Turf Club at Sportsbet-Ballarat on the first day owners are allowed at the races post COVID-19 lock down. LOGO LOGIC returns to the course that saw him break his maiden brilliantly. There is a bit more speed in this race than his maiden but he has drawn much better. Last time out he wobbled a bit when changing legs in a slick race at Swan Hill. Back in grade today he should be right in this with Alana Kelly on board.... Good luck to everyone involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

17.01.2022 Also at Kilmore Racing Club Inc in the 7th we have HOT SEAT. He had a bit of an irritation that was putting him off his game a bit to start this prep, we have sorted that out and he was back to himself last start and we expect him to really impose himself today from the good gate. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

16.01.2022 Off to Echuca Racing Club today. In the 7th we have HOT SEAT. Couldn't get a run when ideally drawn at Ballarat during the week and today gets the horror draw. Change of rider with usual partner Alana Kelly riding at headquarters. Georgina Cartwright takes the reins today and hopefully can add another female jockey having their first ride on him being a win, 4 of his 5 wins have been this scenario.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

16.01.2022 Off to sunny Swan Hill Jockey Club with a couple of runners today. In the 3rd we have ELONGATED. He was super last start, thought he had it half way up the straight but he'd done plenty of work and should be in the finish today if he wants to be. Draw is a big negative. Good luck to his connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

16.01.2022 For Sale. Celebrations of Sefton Lily Registered Riding Pony / SHC 15.1hd 5yr Sire : Dresden Ace of Spades... Dam: Moomba (Naturalism) Lily is offered for sale due to the loss of a family member and we can no longer give her the attention and love she deserves. Has been offered for sale before but Dad just couldn’t part with her. She has been to 4 shows in total bringing home a broad sash on all but 1 occasion including 2 Royal Geelong Show Reserve Champions. Is fantastic to float/clip and shoe.. and would make the perfect hack for someone wanting to start off in the showing world or would be a top Pony Club/ Adult Riding Club horse.. has jumped but very very basic. Please share as this Mare to your friends as we simply cannot keep her under our current circumstances.. In saying that NO tyre kickers and time wasters as it’s difficult enough given the circumstances. $8,500 ONO negotiable to the right home. Please PM me for phone number or to discuss further

15.01.2022 LOGO LOGIC steps out in the sixth at Echuca Racing Club. Cliffy has been racing well without really putting himself right in the finish. The soft track last time out would not have been too his liking, back on the good going today will suit. Mikaela Lawrence takes 3kg off and that can only help his bold front running style. Good luck to all involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

15.01.2022 It's Murtoa Racing Cup day today and we are taking LITTLE ZIPPER to compete in race 2 a maiden over 1200m. She hasn't quite lived up to expectations so far in her career but we have ever faith that she can perform. She strikes a good race today, is drawn well and gets the services of Lucinda Boyd. We expect a bold showing. Good luck to all connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

14.01.2022 Off to Echuca Racing Club with a couple of runners today. In the first we have a debutant in OAK BRIDGE. By 2nd year sire Night Of Thunder who's progeny are getting the job done in both hemispheres. This might be a little short for him today but we expect him to be hitting the line hard. Christine Puls has been doing a lot of work with him and takes the ride today.... Good luck to a patient owner. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

13.01.2022 Exciting day at Echuca Racing Club today with GENERAL JIM set to debut in race 2. Minor setback saw him scratched from Horsham on the 20th, he is over that and has been trialling well going into his first race start. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

13.01.2022 In the 9th at Swan Hill Jockey Club we have HOT SEAT. He's had a little break to get over a skin irritation that has had him off his game a bit. He is over that now and is bouncing around ready to get back at it. Got a good draw and an in form jockey in Sam Payne. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

12.01.2022 This is the content the internet needs.

12.01.2022 Back on track at sandown.

12.01.2022 Great to have this fella back at the breakers. Thanks for the photo's Jane.

12.01.2022 At Echuca Racing Club with AFFINITY BELLE. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

11.01.2022 Racing today is on the synthetic at Ballarat Turf Club at Sportsbet-Ballarat. In the 6th we have LOGO LOGIC backing up from a brave second on this track last week, where he injected a lot of speed into the race and just got run down by one better. Expect to see him go forward again and prove hard to beat on a track that he relishes.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

09.01.2022 Our second runner at Horsham & District Racing Club steps out in the 8th race. HOT SEAT was very disappointing last time out at Echuca. He has drawn a bit better today and we look forward to a better showing today. Alana Kelly is back in the saddle, there is a bit of speed in the race and we expect him to be just in behind that speed.... Best of luck to all connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

09.01.2022 Off to tantalising Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club Inc with a couple today. In the 4th we have the enigma wrapped in a riddle that is ELONGATED. To say he mixes his form would be an understatement. In his favour today is the low draw on a track that favours on speed horses, he's at his favoured distance and Alana Kelly seems to get the best out of him.... The unknowns are how he handles the Heavy track. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

08.01.2022 HOT SEAT wins again at Kilmore Racing Club Inc. Great to see this big rooster back in the winners stall. He hadn't been himself this prep but our fantastic team got to the bottom of it and he really enjoyed himself on Saturday. What a fabulous ride from Alana Kelly. Rated him so well when the leader took off. Congrats to his owners.... Shout out to Sabrina Smythe, Victoria Talbot Amberlee Brain Jack Christopher Williams and Bridgette Seirer for all the great work you guys do. credit to photos.racing.com

08.01.2022 Great write up in the Midland Express about HOT SEAT's win at Kilmore. https://www.midlandexpress.com.au/hot-seat-easily/

08.01.2022 Racing at Ararat Turf Club today with LOGO LOGIC competing in race 5. Cliffy has been a bit frustrating of late with a string of OK runs without getting the job done. He pulled up a bit lame after his last run and has recovered well. He has the ideal draw today and Chelsea Hall takes the ride. Good luck to all involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Acceptances.aspx

08.01.2022 Off to Kilmore Racing Club Inc keen for a result. In the 4th we have the enigmatic ELONGATED. Mixing his form is what he does and following his pattern today is the day we see his good form. Against him is the poor draw but he should go forward and figure in the finish.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

07.01.2022 In the 9th at Terang & District Racing Club we have HOT SEAT. Some minor niggles have been holding him back of late, the work to fix those has been done and Terang is a track that should suit his big long stride. Expect to see him roll forward setting or on the pace from the wide draw. Christine Puls is sure to get the best out of him today.... Good luck to all involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

07.01.2022 Also at Tatura & Shepparton Racing Club Inc we have AFFINITY BELLE in the last. Her form is better than it reads. Last time out she finished 9th but beaten less than 3 lengths. In her favour, she gets in well at the weights, she's well drawn, she can handle a heavy track and she has an experienced pilot in Christine Puls.... Good luck to her fantastic owners and everyone involved today. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

06.01.2022 The team heads to Horsham & District Racing Club today with a couple of runners. In the second we have LITTLE ZIPPER coming off a nice 3rd at Murtoa last time out. That race is proving to be a decent form race and we are hoping this continues today. Lucinda Boyd rides again today, she jumps from barrier 1 and we expect her to be close to the speed.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

06.01.2022 Off to delightful Donald & District Racing Club to race on a good 4 surface for the first time in a long time. In the 2nd we have ELONGATED. He ran a super race at the 1350m here two starts back. He was a little disappointing last time out but the mile is his go and back on a good 4 should suit. Horror draw wont help but we have every faith in Alana to make the most of it. Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

01.01.2022 Also at Echuca Racing Club in the 8th we have HOT SEAT. A winner two starts back, not sure he got through the heavy going at the tight Kyneton track last start. With that in mind he wasn't disgraced. Back on a good surface today at a track he has run well on before, we expect a bold showing with Lucinda Boyd in the saddle.... Good luck to connections. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

01.01.2022 In the 8th at Donald & District Racing Club we have HOT SEAT. Top run last time out at Ballarat in the inferior going, he has drawn well again and should get to the front. Third up is his go and he is down in grade, this is his chance to show his true ability and he should be fighting out the finish. Good luck to all involved. Field info can be found here: https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx

01.01.2022 Off to sunny Swan Hill Jockey Club with ELONGATED to run in the 3rd race. Was good last time out at Donald in a race that was a bit easier than this. Has the prime draw and he is capable of measuring up, there are worse $34 pops going around today. Good luck to connections. https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Form.aspx
