Purest Silk (4m Rocknroll Hanover / Veste by Christian Cullen) won at Gloucester Park on the 14th May where she drew No.6 and when the field settled down she was facing the breeze, before getting cover when a horse from the back took over giving Purest Silk the ideal run for the last lap, then turning for home she came out 3-wide to win by 1.6m in a 1:57.6 Mile Rate for the 2130m journey (with Crystal Sparkles finishing a good second this gave the farm the quinella), to now have 8 wins & 5 placings for $75,717 – bred by the Coburg Syndicate.


Quick As Fire (4h Bettor’s Delight / Queen Of Fire by Courage Under Fire) won at Cambridge on the 16th May drawing No.1 he went straight to the front and stayed there for the entire 2,700m, going on for a comfortable win in a 2:02.4 Mile Rate and now has 2 wins & 4 placings for $16,360 – bred by the Butterworth Bloodstock Syndicate.


Tickle Me Pink (3f Muscle Hill / Luby Ann by Andover Hall) won at Auckland on the 17th May where she drew No.3 on the 2nd Row in the Group 3 Haras des Trotteurs Northern Trotting Oaks to settle near the rear 1-out-and-4-back, then with 1200m to go she went forward 3-wide to take the lead with a round-to-go and went on to win with plenty in reserve by 1½ lengths to now have 7 wins for $79,687 to date and be 3rd on the Jewels Leaderboard – bred by Breckon Farms Ltd and raced by the Breckon Farms The Perfect Ten Syndicate.


One Change (2c Bettor’s Delight / Changedown by Falcon Seelster) won at Addington on the 17th May where he drew No.4 and was sent out favourite for the Group 1 Garrards 2YO Sires Stakes Final where he was quickly away to lead early before taking the trail behind stablemate Flying Even Bettor and turning for home these two put a big gap on the field with One Change getting up to win by a nose from his stable mate in a Track Record 1:53.4 Mile Rate for the 1980m. He is now top of the Jewels Leaderboard with $118,437 but his actual stakes winnings are $212,707 because 2 races he has won are not eligible for his Jewels tally – bred by RG Carr & DG Kirkbride.
