NEWS AND WINNERS

Darby Racing have enjoyed phenomenal success this season with a couple of terrific juvenile fillies in Yankee Rose and Scarlet Rain, their colours carried to victory at Moonee Valley on Wednesday by another exciting two year-old filly in Goldners Transported Athena Lass.

The four Eventing rider and horse combinations selected for the 2016 Australian Olympic Team – Chris Burton (Santano II), Sam Griffiths (Paulank Brockagh), Shane Rose (CP Qualified) and Stuart Tinney (Pluto Mio) – have already been on their own amazing journey to get to Rio, and are poised to add to Australia’s remarkable history in this event.

Wine ‘n’ Dine has taken out the last event at Rosehill on Saturday in what was the gelding’s fourth run in 18 days.

While the Australian eventing horse team for the upcoming Rio Olympic has yet to be announced, four hopefuls have recently been transported by Goldners Horse Transport and IRT to from Spendthrift Farm in Victoria, to Melbourne airport to head overseas where they could realise their dreams!
