Roxy joins the New Years Eve Party

Jan 1, 2021

Horse For Higher didn’t let her stable mate, Song Brocade, come home with all the accolades by making our last runner for 2020 a winner.

Roxy, as she is called around home, was stepping up to 1700m for her third up run and went in nicely placed and well prepared giving the team plenty of confidence for this assignment.

Michael Poy took the reins and had her nicely placed sitting just off the lead until the final stages when they pounced, proving too strong and fit for the rest of the field.  

“We think there’s better wins with this mare” Dan remarked. “Her owner and breeder, Greg has been extremely patient allowing her to fully mature and I think he’ll be rewarded with a win in town eventually”.

Congratulations Greg!  We are always thrilled to get a win for you!
