It’s all in the family

Blog

The saying goes “when you’re on to a good thing stick to it” so it’s no surprise that the family of Your Song X Sheeznodoubt are already with Gollan Racing and have delivered close to $100,000 in prize money to date. The Gollan stable has already had success with Your Song X Sheeznodoubt sisters She’s Our Star and Hollaback Girl. And it is the success and belief in the family that prompted Tony Gollan to go looking to purchase more of this family at Magic Millions. It was a match made in heaven when miRunners approached Tony Gollan with this…

It’s nearly Father’s Day – what are our horses’ fathers up to?

Blog

Our 2018 miRunners horses’ sires were all on show this weekend in the yearly tradition – the Stallion parades. What was it all about? This weekend Hunter Valley studs including Arrowfield, Widden Stud and Coolmore opened their doors to broodmare owners and clientele alike to view the Stallions on their books for the 2018 season. This might seem like any other parade – these stallions are household names in the racing industry. But this weekend, breeders had a chance to see if what they think will work on paper has potential in in the flesh. (You can try your hand…

Toby Greene: owning with mates has never been easier

Bjorn Baker, Blog, Rubick x Slainte

AFL footballer Toby Greene plays for the GWS Giants, has won the Kevin Sheedy Medal and was selected in the All-Australian team in 2016. He is also a racing enthusiast who owns a unit in the Rubick x Slainte filly, trained by Bjorn Baker and based in Western Sydney. My name’s Toby Greene. I got drafted up to GWS when I was 18 and this is my seventh year. It’s been a really good ride so far. We’re one of the better sides now and I’m loving life in Western Sydney. Something my close mates know about me is how…

The scientific reason Winx shattered Black Caviar’s record

Blog, Ownership Insights

To most Australians Winx does not stand out from the crowd or look like a sure winner but looks can be deceiving. She’s now billed as the world’s greatest horse. And we’ve asked some industry experts why this champion is so good. The champion Aussie mare raced into history this weekend at Randwick with her 26th straight victory, surpassing the mark set by the legendary Black Caviar. But Winx is not like Black Caviar. Black Caviar would blitz her rivals with one of the longest strides every measured on a racehorse – a whooping 8.42 metres. When the average racehorse…

miRunners horses are members of the family

Blog, Ownership Insights

Headlines and stories in the news about owners not putting the welfare of their horse first is another myth we need to discuss. As an owner, you know the emotion you feel every time you see your thoroughbred. You admire the sheer physical stature of your horse; you smile when your horse gives you a cheeky nod; you worry when a viral infection is more than just a cold. It is not prompted, it is not scripted. It is how everyone responds to any member of the family. And as an owner you know that patience is a virtue. When…

Zoustar x Shack has been named

Blog, Zoushack

It has been an exciting day for owners of the Zoustar x Shack colt with the name voted and chosen by the owners finally announced. Following a public nomination period that saw over 750 names entered, the list was whittled down to a top 30 with owners then voting for the winning submission. The winning name is: Zoushack. A merger of the colt’s sire (Zoustar) and dam (Shack), it is a name that is easily said and gives a strong acknowledgment to the horse’s impressive sire who has been catching the eye of so many racing lovers.
