Four-year-old gelding ROTHO BRO made it two on the trot with another impressive 1400m win at Orange on 6 January.

Partnering again with Louise Day, Rotho Bro jumped well from a wide gate and was eased back to settle near the back of the field. Louise hooked him out at the 400m mark and while having to come very wide on the turn, put in a devastating sprint to scoop up the field and win by over a length. It was almost a carbon copy of his previous win!

His breeder, Jim Critchley was joined by several of his other owners to cheer him on. Congratulations to all!

Lightly raced 4yo Rotho Bro brought up his second win in just nine starts when taking out a 1400m Class 1 event at Orange on Monday.

Starting equal favourite, Rotho Bro dropped well behind the field on settling and looked out of the picture, only tacking on at about the 500 metre point. He then commenced a huge run on the turn, sweeping down the middle of the track for jockey Louise Day to win by 1 and a half lengths, to the amazement of the race caller!

An exciting win! Congratulations to connections, which include his breeder, Jim Critchley.

While showing plenty of promise in his previous seven starts including city form, it was very pleasing to have the big five year old get the monkey off his back with a well deserved win.
Simply Nutbush settled well in third position over the 1400m metre trip at Canberra and once straightening, angled out sharply for Shaun Guymer to get around the heels of the two abreast leaders to go on to beat the favourite by 0.8 lengths going away.
Congratulations to his owners the Hobdays!

At just her fourth start for the Austin stable, Baycat brought up her second win for new connections, taking out a 1000 metre dash at Orange. Ridden by apprentice Olivia Chambers, she sat third on the fence for most of the trip, and when others behind her made their runs, she held her position and took a gap to fight out the finish with the favourite, Missile Defence, scoring by a nose.

Congratulations to the ownership group!

Three year old filly Zou Royal looks to have a bright future, with a commanding win at Bathurst at her second start. The big filly easily hit the lead after jumping and dictated the pace for the 1100 metre trip. On straightening, she kicked away and with jockey Matthew Cahill checking over his shoulder a number of times, it was obvious she was going to canter in, ears pricked.

An exciting ride for her owners, who include Jarrod’s family and some loyal clients.

Tried horse purchase BAYCAT showed she was a canny buy when wining first-up for Austin Racing Stables at Canberra on 19 September.

The four-year-old daughter of Blue Point (Ire) shot to the lead on jumping over the 1000m trip and was never headed, easing down to win by 1.25 lengths.

She looks to be set to provide a very enjoyable experience for her ownership group!

Five year old Pariah gelding CASH ME brought up his fifth career win when scoring at Hawkesbury on Sunday. Showing a healthy dislike for wet tracks, all his wins have been on the Good, which has been hard to find in his last few starts! The Good 4 and 1500m was right up his alley. Given 61kg by the handicapper, apprentice Olivia Chambers took 2 kilos off his back.

Sitting on the rail just behind the leaders, Cash Me slipped inside the leaders and pulled away in the long Hawkesbury straight to win by three quarters of a length.

Congratulations to his big ownership group!
