The exciting and impressive colt with incredible bloodlines is close to selling out with only limited units remaining in the David Hayes-trained filly.

Water Training: more than just splashing around

Blog, Ownership Insights, Your Song x Sheeznodoubt, Zoushack

Water training has become an integral part of racehorse training programs but perhaps more importantly, a fun part that nearly all racehorses look forward to. When you think of water and training it is natural to think of rehabilitation but for a racehorse it can be the vehicle to better balance, higher workload rates and co-ordination.

It is good cardiovascular training in which endurance is built under almost non-existent impact conditions. It ensures the horse…
