Hear from Tony Gollan as to his training philosophy and his approach for training Lyrical Girl

Tony Gollan

Leading Queensland trainer Tony Gollan sees a lot of potential in the miRunners Lyrical Girl filly that he is currently training. We recently had a chat to him to hear his thoughts on the filly, and how he adapts his training style to suit each individual thoroughbred. “I love this filly, from the minute we saw her at the sales. I have had a little bit to do with the family; she’s a beautiful type of filly with a great action about her. She’s a gorgeous headed filly, and there’s really not a lot you can fault with her. I absolutely…

Not A Royal Doubt set for the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic qualifying race

Gai Waterhouse, Not A Royal Doubt

miRunners owners are excited to hear from the Waterhouse and Bott stables, that the miRunners filly Not A Royal Doubt is being set for the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic qualifying race on the 24th of November at Ballarat.  This run up to the Magic Millions has her 500+ owners dreaming of all sorts of possibilities – with their dreams now becoming emerging realities. “If she could get this money in the bank, the pressure would be off and it gives us 7 weeks to have her cherry ripe for the Gold Coast. We could even consider giving her a week…

Melbourne Cup stats and facts

David Hayes, Gai Waterhouse

Racing loves statistics – none more than when you own a racehorse (or win the Melbourne Cup.) Perhaps second only to first-class cricket, the racing industry, those who own, those who train and those who enjoy racing love data, form and stats. So we thought we’d run a quick comparison with the 2018 winner Cross Counter, won (as every miRunners owner will know!) by jockey Kerrin McEvoy, who raced Zoushack at Royal Randwick during this year’s Everest meeting (and apologies for any errors).

Zoushack

Cross Counter, ridden by the now three-time winning Melbourne Cup jockey, Kerrin McEvoy, has won the 2018 Melbourne Cup ahead of Marmelo and A Prince Of Arran. McEvoy also rode the winner in the recent Everest and rode miRunners thoroughbred, Zoushack, on Everest Day. For those unfamiliar here’s a little background on Kerrin McEvoy. Here is the finish of the 2018 Melbourne Cup. “What a thrill.” @kpmcevoy claims a third #MelbourneCup success. 2018 – Cross Counter 2016 – Almandin 2000 – Brew pic.twitter.com/VoXMtmfnpS — Racing.com (@Racing) November 6, 2018 • He won his maiden Melbourne Cup in 2000 on Brew and his second…

Melbourne Cup: Jumping the fence from spectator to owner!

Blog

miRunners owners were able to meet leading Australian trainer David Hayes and top jockey Kerrin McKevoy on Everest before watching their horse run. As we get ready for the race that stops the nation, new research from TEG Insights as reported in B&T Magazine sheds light on our love of racing – and opens our eyes to what we spend at Flemington every year. On average, Australians spend $179 each on Melbourne Cup day, on fashions and betting. And 10% of us will spend over $300. With miRunners, you can now own a unit in a premium thoroughbred for this…

Not A Royal Doubt outclasses field in trial win at Royal Randwick

Adrian Bott, Gai Waterhouse, Not A Royal Doubt

Lining up for a 10 am start, Not A Royal Doubt looked calm and strong as she made her way to the gates with top jockey Tim Clark on board. She handled her first trial really well, saddling up nicely and showing good speed straight out of the gate. She was prominent from the start settling second in the field, before making her move midway through the trial to lead and eventually kick away to win in good fashion. A group of miRunners owners were cheering from the Old Stand at Royal Randwick as they watched Not A Royal Doubt…

The thrill of premium thoroughbred ownership

Bjorn Baker, David Hayes, Gai Waterhouse, Geelong Community Partnership, Kris Lees, Mick Price, Tony Gollan

Nothing compares to the moment you see your own horse parading in the mounting yard. It’s like seeing your baby’s first steps. Especially if it’s your first. Premium thoroughbred ownership is special. Hearing the pre-race comments exclusively from your trainer and jockey, explaining their vision of how they believe the race will play out. Listening to where your horse will sit in the field. Will it sit two back on the rails and make its move on the turn, or is the plan to lead from start to finish? There is no way to explain what goes through an owner’s…
