Mandy Shillito Racing

Rugging is an expensive exercise

I feel a new profile picture is coming. Pebble Raider ran an unbelievable race today winning at Tatura. The little girl is still learning to find the line, but was not going to let the field get away today. Congratulations to her owners.

After Discreet Legend won the Everest, Les Bridge said the horse has a huge girth. Evolving Evie’s girth hardly reaches the flap, but she broke the elastic breathing in last week! 😂😂😂 Might be hope for fatso yet!

I think our Stryker/Threemensfolly filly called Dibs on the round bail!

Lucky Rock has had 2 starts with our stable to finish 3rd at Geelong yesterday. He is ordinary at track work but brought his best in the 1000m race. It was nice to see his owners at the races. I hope he can bring us a win soon.

Great Western! Well we think it is a great track after Franquin dominated his 1950 race. Our tough horse lead the field by 5 lengths and won the race by that margin. It was a fantastic race to watch and his owners are overjoyed with his 2nd career win. He was well ridden my Samuel Payne who drove from Caulfield to ride him.
Our first starter Runnaway Girl also finished her race of strong after jumping slow to finish 3rd. She will learn a lot from this run and will be one to watch in the future.

To start the New Year today we didn’t venture far. Just a little way away we took Peculatus to race in the Burrembeet Cup. It was a first up run over 1800 for the big fella and as usual he took the lead early in the race. He was swamped at the 200m race but fought on to finish 4th. The 8yo still has the racing fight in him. He might make his 100k yet!!!

Our outing today took The Big Labrownski and Doubtless Road to Seymour. Both boys ran creditably finishing 4th. They pulled up well after their runs and deserve a day in the grass paddock tomorrow.
