since I last went to work? I cant get over how quickly time flies when you are busy doing the things that you love doing. Well, its all over and done with, with me due back tomorrow .
This weekend has just flown by at a rate of knots - yesterday we had unexpected guests who came out to look at Tee Cee (Thunderousclassics) and Max (the Dantibes weanling) and liked everything so much that they wanted the grand cooks tour. Which was fine as we like to show off the residents!
Saturday also saw Oscar, (Tannerong Baluk) former Massie Lodge resident, have his first start at Ballina over 1200m and he won first up!
Congratulations to Oscar and all his owners, Iam sure that you will have some good fun with him over his first preparation.
It was most remiss of me yesterday not to complete the Stallion Road Test. (Hang your head in shame Helen!). However, today sees another great Queensland Boy road tested and after doing all the research, I was most impressed with his statistics. How many stallions do you know have 9 year olds out there winning? How many stallions do you know have progeny winning from 800m to 5550m? Go and have a look - Iam sure that if you dont know much about this fella, then you will be compelled to seek more information. Yes, another unfashionable boy, but he is yet another of Queensland's Quiet Achievers and a Stallion who you should consider if you want to have some fun racing - be it in town or around the country tracks.
Today (Sunday) has been another full day with Evan and I cleaning out the feed shed (well, it actually didnt start that way as we were looking for the axe to cut firewood! But as you know, one thing always leads to another and the way the feed shed was it definitely needed a clean!).

We also had a visit from one of Joey's owners - Anthony Burke and family who came to see their girl before she goes back into work with Paul Nipperess. It was nice to be able to show Anthony some of the horses who we speak about in the blog (putting hairy faces to names as it were!).
Well, no rest for the wicked it seems. I have 2 horses to put up on the Gallopers website and then I will cook Evan and my visiting brother, Neil some dinner.
Until next time, (support local Queensland Stallions!)
