Off with old and on with the new! This Standardbred is close to returning to the racetrack so we’ve switched her from a O’Dwyer Sprinter steel to a St.Croix Concorde Xtra race plate, both were nailed on with a Hammerhead nail. All the 1% like weight reduction in a shoeing package can make a difference at the end of a race 👌🏻 🐎

The Warrnambool May Races Carnival is all done for another year! It’s a big week for our Thoroughbred clients, targeting the carnival with their horses. Some great results were achieved by Adam Chambers, saddling up a small team to train 3 winners and the Aaron Purcell team training 2 winners on Thursday with Instigator taking out the Grand Annual Steeplechase! 🏆 All the runners we worked on were plated up with St. Croix Concorde Xtra plates and Hammerhead nails. Instigator’s plates certainly stayed the distance 💪🏻
