Will head back home family in tow to start a new chapter in the Lindsey Smith horse trainer career. I'm sure he'd like to get another one good enough to head back east again next year.

Ellicorsam
 

Smart mare Ellicorsam was scheduled to appear in the last heat of the Lark Hill trials today. Await with interest how she performed. Another smart one Wire Detonator, who has been freshened up since his Hannan’s Hcp win, was listed to start in the same heat.

Ellicorsam

Modem
 

Finished back at the rear Saturday hopefully he pulled up ok and it was just the slow track factor

grey matter wrap-up
 

Dashing Belle unplaced

Well I guess we may never see Plastered over west again now he's gone to the Freedman stable :( and nil reference to any plans to come back for the upcoming summer carnival :(

.....which I'm sure wouldn't be disappointing news to the connections of Free At Last whose task to qualify for the bonus (minus Plastered) is now so much easier

Kool!
 

Kool result race 5 purple passion; 6-3-4 tri not a bad payout at all !
