TSR Weekly Wrap | 3 Jan 2022
Magic performances by Ladies In Red and Maajida as we landed a treble on Group 1 Vicbred Super Series finals night at Melton on Friday.
Honolua Bay provided the third leg of the big three.
Ladies In Red once again had accolades poured on her after doing plenty of work, being caught wide early, and then sitting out the leader.
She ultimately led home a first four for the stable in the 3yo fillies’ final.
She’s done another phenomenal season and is now having a well-earned short break before we focus on an NSW campaign with her.
Maajida created history by becoming the first filly/mare to win VSS finals as a 2yo, 3yo, and 4yo.
What more can be said.
An enormous achievement.
Honolua Bay has come a long way since joining the stable mid-season and he again did the team proud.
The night capped off another highly successful season for us.
Thank you to all our owners and staff who made it possible.
