It’s a common story where, despite grand plans and the best of intentions, things can go awry. This isn’t always the case though: especially when plans are well thought out, have experience and proven success behind them and are executed to perfection, it will…

Watching your horse trial can feel like the Melbourne Cup but in reality it is just another step in the process of building a racehorse: a racehorse that can handle different tracks, riders and race situations.

Owners love the stable names for their racehorses. It allows them to get connected to their horses before an official name is chosen and can also gives them a unique little insight to their thoroughbred’s personality. For example, many Saganaki owners still refer to him as his stable name – Bluey – which was chosen when he was still known to outsiders as “Real Saga x Cubism”. With miRunners purchasing five horses at the 2018 Gold Coast Magic Millions, we sat down with Shannon Betts, Owner and Founder of Emeran Park, to talk through the stable names of the current…
