Redbank North, Spelling Farm Keith is using Redbank North, near Jugiong/Harden, to spell many of the Stables' horses now.  The property is owned by the well-respected horse breeding and owning family, the Middletons.

Numerosa was bred by her owners, Mr and Mrs Hughes, of Sydney.

Three Wins on Canberra Cup Day for the Stables, Including the Big Race with Testa Grande -De Lighting Ridge Shows She Is Top 2YO Prospect -Steel Titan Wins Convincingly What a great day it was for the Stables at Canberra on the 16th of December 2007.  Firstly, De Lightning Ridge blitzed her rivals in the 2YO Black Opal Qualifier Plate by seven lengths in sizzling time (faster that the Open Handicap).  Then, Kevin Sweeney made it two for the day on the promising Steel Titan in the 1400m Mix 106.3 Handicap, picking up the leader  One Time at the 60m mark, for a strong win. The highlight of the day, however, was Jay Ford's ride on Danny McMillan's Testa Grande, which relished the dead track to take the lead at the 50m mark and win by a short neck on the line. Winners' dividends on ACTTAB were De Lightning Ridge $1.50, Steel Titan $9.20, and Testa Grande $13.30. Keith and Jay bring Testa Grande back after his classy 2007 Canberra Cup victory
