Still on cloud nine about Fiber Fresh Equine - New Zealand Stud Day!

Epic horses. Epic raceday. Epic turnout!

We couldn't have wished for a better day (ok, maybe slightly warmer weather), for the running of our inaugural Listed Chittick Family Fillies Classic. Thank you to all those who attended, supported, sponsored and were involved in making our raceday a success!

Bring on Tourism Day - Friday September 11.

How impressive was Fortunato?! 🤩 He made the perfect start to his racing career with a stylish victory in the Poverty Bay Turf Club 3YO C&G SW+P 1100m.

Settled at the rear of the field, he picked his way through the runners before producing a powerful finish to get up on the line and defeat a strong field of 3YO boys. Co-trainer Guy Lowry mentioned that bigger targets could be in store for Fortunato, but for now, it’s a wait-and-see game.

It was also fantastic to have co-breeder Sam Williams from Little Avondale Stud on course to witness the flashy son of Per Incanto make his winning debut.

This race — and raceday — has been a great starting point for many talented horses. Remember the 2024 Gr.1 2000 Guineas winner Savaglee?! He used this exact race to kick off his campaign before going on to win multiple stakes races, including the Guineas.

Raceday’s over. The work isn’t 💪🏇

The back-up team was back on track this morning, getting stuck into the pack-down. 30 hungry workers = one very well-earned morning tea ☕️🍰

We’re already looking ahead to Tourism Day - Friday, September 11.
