Straight Fire(s) at home
This was a race that looked the goods on paper and Todd got it spot on as STRAIGHT FIRE raced away. There has always been a big wrap on this horse and it’s so good to get the result on the home deck. Check out the reply on our Socials...
The Unique Star matches motors in town
The celebrations are well underway as the team conquered the metropolitan racing scene with THE UNIQUE STAR. The 3YO son of Shalaa announced himself as a real contender knocking off a BM64 Hcp (1100m) at start number 4. Today’s win made it 3 from 4 and those close to...
Unique Star shines at the Sapphire Coast
The Unique Star has had a great start to his career with a win and an unlucky second in his first two starts. He was deservedly sent out as favourite in start number 3 and while the race caller was a bit worried at the 300m, it didnt take long for him to hit full...
Cashbook takes out the Challenge
Canberra trainer Todd Smart had one sole mission when attending last year’s HTBA Yearling Sale – to buy a horse that could win the A$200,000 Inglis Challenge at Scone 12 months later. Fast forward to Friday, 16 May and that horse – now named Cashbook (Flying Artie) –...

Magnificent Placement
It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of a horse on the up but this wasn’t the case today for SO MAGNIFICENT. He was sent out as a $1.60 commodity and got the job done at BM58 grade under the urging of Brodie Loy. Well placed Todd Smart and we can’t wait to see how...
Loose Love digs deep at Parkes
It was a super impressive all round display as the stable polish combined beautifully with the hands and heels of Claire Ramsbotham. It looked all over at the 300m marker but the stable stalwart dug deep and got the job done. Congratulations to Connections
O’Hellyeah too gritty at Cowra
It was a gritty performance at Cowra as O’HELLYEAH put a target on the leader and nailed it late. James Innes Jr is very experienced in the saddle and he ensured the 3YO Hellbent filly had plenty in hand when they got serious in the first. Congratulations To All...
