Raceday Recap: The $2 Million Inglis Millennium

David Hayes, Fixated, Hinchinbrook, Uncategorized

Last Wednesday all of the miRunners community had their eyes turned towards Warwick Farm as the Lindsay Park trained Fixated lined up for his biggest race yet, the $2 million Inglis Millennium- 2YOS.  Originally scheduled to be run on the Saturday prior, extreme weather conditions forced the race meeting to be postponed. Both Inglis feature races were then shifted to the Wednesday program despite deteriorating conditions.  As the race meeting rolled into town, the sun was shining, the humidity was present, and the miRunners mantra of 2x2x2 was ready to heat up the track.  With miRunners community members out to…

Blog, David Hayes, Dusty Tycoon, QLD, Zoushack

Dusty Tycoon and Zoushack headlined the quality of miRunners horses as they gave the whole community a reason to celebrate over the past fortnight. The excitement was highlighted by race caller Josh Fleming as Dusty Tycoon stormed passed the Sunshine Coast Turf Club winning post first. “And I can hear the miRunners team cheering from up here,” he said. These cheers continued all the way down to Victoria as Zoushack tackled the Magic Millions 3&4YO Classic. In his first start in a month, finishing fourth in a quality field, it was a promising indication that miRunners owners just may get…

Everest Day 2018 – A day to remember for many Zoushack owners

Blog, David Hayes, Zoushack

Last year on Everest Day, Zoushack made his debut in the Victory Vein Plate on a dismal day at Randwick. It surely wasn’t a dismal day for Zoushack owners however, who enjoyed every minute of their ownership experience. With over 40,000 attendees there for Australia’s richest race on turf, Zoushack owners felt like royalty watching their boy take to the track for the first time. Experiencing the mounting yard at Randwick and meeting trainer David Hayes as well as two-time Everest winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy is something they will never forget.  Not much went right for Zoushack in the run,…

Zoushack makes it 2 wins from 2 runs this preparation with a gutsy finish

Blog, David Hayes, Zoushack

Zoushack put in a gutsy performance to make it 2 wins from 2 outings this preparation, winning Race 10 at Seymour by a literal nose hair. In a tight photo finish which looked to have nothing in it, Zoushack kicked back when it mattered to make it back to back wins. After being vetted at the gates, 3YO gelding Zoushack jumped well out of the barriers and settled at the front of the field, leading from start to finish. In saying this, there was great tension in the finish when it looked as though the fast-finishing Deploys Alone was going…

She has won 3 from 4 of her trials/jump outs over her two…

It’s another big week ahead for miRunners, as Gaelic Puzzle, Bellarine Beauty and Zoushack are all expected to hit the track. Gaelic Puzzle and Zoushack will be having their second runs of this preparation, with Bellarine Beauty set to make her racing debut.  Zoushack put on a dominant display first-up at Sale two weeks ago to win by a length, and trainer David Hayes is hoping he can repeat that next week when he races at Seymour before hopefully heading to the city. Watch his first-up win below: The race was dominated from the front with Zoushack holding off the…

miRunners owners are pumped and excited about the current line up and early signs of potential with many of their thoroughbreds, all at the point of jump outs and trials in preparation for the Autumn racing season. Yesterday morning (Tuesday 19th February), Shezawitness trained by Mick Price blitzed the field by three lengths in her jump out at Caulfield Racecourse. Mick Price is excited by this filly and how she has progressed since last year. He is now planning to give Shezawitness another trial next Tuesday February 26 and if all goes well, take her to the races after that.…

With Zoushack scheduled to trial at Flemington, owners are eagerly waiting for their thoroughbreds to hit the racecourse. Could you handle the excitement of watching your own horse at the track?

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).

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…
