Gai's Back

At the beginning of this racing season, did you hear all the whispers about Gai not producing winners the same as she should be doing? They were right of course, but it was just the lull before the storm, as Gai and Robbie holidayed in Europe and the stable staff were preparing for the Spring.

The stable sure has bounced back over the last few weeks with Gai landing a Group 2 double with Desert War in The Hill Stakes and Cheeky Choice in the Tea Rose Stakes a fortnight ago. On Saturday, she was to the fore again winning THREE Stakes races including the G1 Flight Stakes with Cheeky Choice, and the G3 double of The Shorts with Bentley Biscuit and the Craven Plate with Cateclipse. Amazingly, Gai has won the Flight Stakes for the last three years now with Cheeky Choice following on from Lotteria and Fashions Afield who won in 2004 and 2005 respectively.

Bentley Biscuit, (pictured above) has been a great money spinner for his owners, bagging 9 wins and 2 places from just 12 starts, amassing over $500,000 in prizemoney along the way! There's doubtless plenty winners more to come, so keep following the Randwick stable as they're a monty to keep churning out the winners over the next month or so.
