Keith and Kevin Move Ahead in Canberra Premierships The win by Flying Bentley at Canberra on Friday 11th May in the 1280m Maiden moved Keith to 17 wins in the Trainers Premiership, 8 in front of his nearest rival.  Kevin Sweeney had two wins at the meeting, and is now on 22 wins, 5 ahead, in the Jockeys challenge. Keith felt Kevin rode Flying Bentley beautifully, getting the Flying Spur 4YO to the front at exactly the right time. It was a solid week for the Stables overall, with a very close 2nd on Friday by Strategic Purchase, and a dead heat win at the Sapphire Coast last Sunday by Polygon Wood. Keith, Debbie Card, and part-owner Greg McAllister, with Flying Bentley
MyName'sJames Wins Again at Wagga Rising Stables' star MyName'sJames made it three from three with a win in the 1400m Class 2 on the 1st day of the Wagga carnival.  The 4YO won comfortably by 2 lengths, and started odds on favourite, with bookmakers wary of the Dryden/Sweeney combination. Keith was happy with the overall Stables' performance at the carnival, with four prizemoney cheques from five starters.
Opportunity to Race a Well- bred Filly This filly is by Darley's shuttle stallion Kheleyf out of Radiant Star. Radiant Star was a very good racemare winning four races including three Metropolitan races in Melbourne. She was also listed placed and earned $178k in prizemoney. She is a half sister to the high-class gallopers Red Colossus ($392k) and Nediym's Glow ($401k). Radiant Star's first foal is a winner of 3 races. The filly is eligible for BOBS and CanBOBS bonuses. Kheleyf was a very good racehorse in the UK and is now the sire of 23 stakes-winners and placegetters in the Northern Hemisphere. This filly would suit a group of friends or individual shareholders looking to race a well-bred filly without the upfront capital outlay. Please contact Keith for more details 0428 475 871
Another Fine Performance by Virtuoso at Canberra Keith felt it was a handy effort by Virtuoso at the 27th April Canberra meeting to win the first race.  As a Class 1 horse, he was racing above his grade in the Class 2 1200m event.  The horse battled on well under Kevin Sweeney's hard riding to just get the result. Mass Exodus also put in a good performance to run 4th over 1200m later in the day, an unsuitable distance.  Keith is preparing Mass Exodus for a 2000m race over the Wagga carnival.

Keith Buys Quality Filly at Sydney Sales Keith loves the filly by Bernardini from the the city winner Sea Eye Pea that he bought at the Easter Sales.  Shares in the filly are available through the Stables - contact Keith 0428 475 871.  Click here  for a video of the filly. The Sea Eye Pea filly
Three Wins Over the 13th-15th April Weekend: Swish on By, MyName'sJames at Canberra, Crusader General at Wagga Keith says he is pleased with how the Stables are firing, with three winners and a close second last week.  3YO Swish on By was ridden by Annelise King, her first winner on the grass at Canberra.  Kevin Sweeney then piloted the very promising MyName'sJames to his second win from two starts, in very good time, almost a second faster than the BM63 race on the same day. On Sunday at Wagga, 2YO Crusader General beat a strong field to also make it two from two. Keith felt that General Jay Dee was very unlucky in the Town Plate Prelude, getting caught on the rails and then flashing home late to fail by a short half head. Kevin parades MyName'sJames before his Canberra win
Keith and Kevin Increase Leads in Premierships Promising Debuts by Crusader General and MyNamesJames Keith is on 13 wins for the season in the ACT Trainers Premiership, leading by 4, and Kevin is on 18 wins in the Jockey's Premiership, leading by 3, after the 30th March Canberra meeting.  Kevin rode the two winners, both winning by big margins in very good time.  Both have pulled up well following the runs. All connections were smiling after Crusader Generals' win: (R to L) Keith, Kevin, Tammy, and loyal owner Michael Seay
Keith Has High Aims for Vilakazi Street After Albury Win Keith is thinking of a Group race in Sydney, or perhaps a freshening up race on route to the Wagga Town Plate, for Vilakazi Street after his Albury win.  Kevin Sweeney stuck to the rails on the 5YO Johannesburg gelding in the $60,000 Enpower Solutions City Handicap on the first day of the Albury carnival. Luck was with Kevin, as a gap opened just in time.  Keith and Kevin felt that the horse would have won by four lengths if the run had come earlier. Kevin with the write up in the Albury Border Mail about how well he rode Vilakazi Street, rode  perfectly to instructions, etc
Keith Buys Lonhro Filly at Melbourne Sales Anyone wanting to be part of racing the latest Stables acquisition, a yearling filly by Lonhro out of the Encosta de Lago mare Lilies, should contact Keith.  The filly rated highly on the Brain system: 127 and four stars, and is a nice type.  Keith notes that as well as being a top racing prospect, the filly will have residual value as a brood mare
A Double for Capital Racing Stables on Black Opal Preview Day Congratulations to the connections of Hirschler who took out the first race on Black Opal Preview Day on Sunday the 24th February. Hirschler raced well to win the Zoo Advertising Maiden Plate over 1000m with Kevin Sweeney aboard. Race 6 on the program was the Urban Contractors Burley Griffin Sprint over 1200m which saw Vilakazi Street take out the honours for first place with Josh Adams aboard. This was a much deserved win for Vilakazi Street, and with some very competitive horses in the race he proved to be to good for them all!! Josh Adams was all smiles after his win on Vilakazi Street
Our Angelina is the Darling of Queanbeyan on Valentine's Day Despite an unsuitably slow pace in the 1600m Class 1 at Queanbeyan on the 14th February, the 4YO mare Our Angelina managed to hold on to win in the tightest of finishes.  Keith felt she had been beaten, and was delighted by the result.  He feels she will do better in similar races if the pace is more genuine. Keith shows off Our Angelina after her win
Roman Alliance and Eye of the Needle Top Off Good Month for the Stables Roman Alliance raced a little greenly at Canberra on Friday 27th January, but still proved much too good in winning the 1000m Maiden, starting at $3.30F.  Then Eye of the Needle won the feature race ($15.000) at Parkes on Sunday 29th, also starting favourite, at $2.10.  Keith was also pleased with the run in Sydney over the weekend by Acta Non Verba, tying for 2nd place.  Acta Non Verba will now go for a spell. Kevin Sweeney brings Roman Alliance back to some happy connections, after winning the 1000m Maiden
Win by Dab Touch, Good Runs by Other Horses, at 30th December Canberra Meeting The Stables finished off 2011 strongly with good performances at Canberra last Friday. First up, but with two good jumpouts under his belt, Dab Touch finished hard to win by two and three quarter lengths in the BM60 1000m race. Other runs by Stables' horses on the day were: Acta Non Verba; close second, a little unlucky the way the race was run; Sipaan: showed he will make a stayer next prep; Our Angelina: made late ground to just fail, Kevin feels she is looking for more ground. Happy Dab Touch owners, a pleased trainer,  a satisfied jockey, a tired horse
