In the blink of an eye Dusty Tycoon was sold out and dashing into the winners circle on track for the Magic Millions. While the Hinchinbrook x Gaze colt sold just as quick in preparation for his race debut. As miRunners is preparing to gallop into the festive season, there is no doubt sales are about to jump out of the barriers for our 3 remaining two-year-olds. With units available to purchase in our premium-bred fillies by Snitzel, Exceed and Excel and Hinchinbrook from $187 per unit + $15 per month, now is the time to give the gift of…

Introducing Hinchinbrook x Koonoomoo trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott

Adrian Bott, Blog, Gai Waterhouse

We are thrilled to launch our third purchase from Magic Millions 2019, Hinchinbrook x Koonoomoo, to be trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. Bloodstock Agent Mick Malone said this filly stood out to him from the start of the inspections at Segenhoe Stud, and was thrilled to secure her for miRunners. “She’s just got that beautiful Danehill head to her and great shoulder and a massive, big hip on her. I imagine she’s going to be very precocious and an early runner” said Mick Malone. He believes that this filly is in perfect hands going to the Gai Waterhouse…

Not A Royal Doubt returns to the track alongside Slipper favourite

Blog, Gai Waterhouse, Not A Royal Doubt, Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere

It was a competitive field for Not A Royal Doubt’s first trial of this preparation, as she was up against one of the Golden Slipper favourites in Loving Gaby. Not A Royal Doubt came out well in the barriers to settle at the end of the field, not being at all pushed or stressed by jockey Blake Shinn. The aim of the trial was to just get her familiar with the track again, so she was ridden easy and quietly to the line. It’s exciting for all owners to see Not A Royal Doubt back on the track again, and…

The first of our 2YO’s have taken to the track for Autumn, with Gaelic Puzzle having a great debut trial at Royal Randwick on February 7. 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? Not only are two of our 2YO’s trialing this week, all our other 2YO’s are in the stables or in pre-training. It could be a case of having every single miRunners horse in work at the one time.

Comparing two miRunners fillies by one of Australia’s most sought after sires – Not A Single Doubt

Gai Waterhouse, Geelong Community Partnership, Not A Royal Doubt, Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere

There is sound reason behind why two out of the seven horses chosen by miRunners so far are by leading Australian sire Not A Single Doubt. Not a Single Doubt is one of the most sought after sires in Australia, with Arrowfield Stud saying that “it’s the raw, precocious speed that he injects into his progeny that makes them so popular with trainers – they are simply born to run”. The miRunners model which empowers high quality acquisitions at affordable prices, brings the progeny of Not A Single Doubt (which is out of reach for most), into play. Not A…

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.

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).

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…

Premium thoroughbred ownership really is delivering on a lifetime’s ambition for miRunners owners

Bjorn Baker, Gai Waterhouse, Tony Gollan, Your Song x Sheeznodoubt, Zoushack

MiRunners owners are passionate about being first time owners in premium thoroughbred racehorses. You only have to read their comments and testimonials in the miRunners Facebook page, and see their faces and reactions when they meet their horses at our owners’ stable days, and how much they enjoy seeing their horse run,  to know how strong this passion is. And the stats are in: for most, being a thoroughbred owner is a lifetime’s ambition that, until now, has simply not been an option. MiRunners recently completed a survey of our owners. We spoke to 398 owners representing 22% of the…

Gai Waterhouse eyes maiden Geelong Cup

With the Geelong Cup aka The Gateway to Glory as it is affectionately known to many – due to it’s history of being one of the most reliable precursor guides to the result of the Melbourne Cup – less than 24 hours away we have decided to do a round up of all the miRunners trainers and their days input. Run at Geelong Racecourse over 2400m the open handicap offers prize money of $300,000 and runs the Wednesday after Caulfield Cup Day, around a fortnight before Melbourne Cup Day, and has done so since 1947.

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…
