Kim’s hands on approach to her horses is paramount

Kim was wrapped to secure a strapping bay colt by Star Witness (Lot 181). Star Witness two time Group One including last to first victory in the Group 1 Blue Diamond stakes as a 2yr old and Group 1 winner of the Coolmore Stud Stakes during his 3yr old career, rated top Champion 3yr old Sprinter. Star Witness eldest progeny are two years olds.

Lot 181 Star Witness x La Fantastique bay colt ($66,000). A lovely leggy strong colt with a strong family to back him up, he is the first foal of Tasmanian Oaks winner La Fantastique by Fantastic Light a winner up to 2000m brings an interesting mix of stamina to the speed of Star Witness. “The colt is strong and well developed good looking first foal. He’s an athletic type who could develop into a nice 2yr old” added Kim.

No Bad Blood will join Oxford Heart on the truck bound for Rosehill on Wednesday with the pair lining up in race 6 and race 8 respectively.

Ultra-consistent No Bad Blood continues his campaign towards a possible Provincial Championships start in the coming weeks and will tackle race 6 Ranvet Restricted O Metro Win Handicap over 1200m. The Danzero gelding has trained on well since his last start second at Warwick Farm three weeks ago “I very happy with No Bad Blood. Both runs have been great finishing runner up on each occasion, he wasn’t suited by the sit and sprint tactics last start but I thought his effort was strong in running second” said Kim. Blake Shinn takes over the ride and from barrier 10 No Bad Blood will most likely go forward with the stable confident of another strong performance.

Super consistent mare Oxford Heart has continued to please Kim at home and at track work, with Kim electing to step the mare up in distance of 1500m for the first time in her career. ‘Oxford Heart is very well, rock hard fit and like No Bad Blood she has been racing very consistently of late hitting the line strongly over the 1250m. Oxford Heart has drawn ideally in barrier 4 and with Tommy Berry taking over the reins” added Kim. Whilst Oxford Heart is untried over the 1500m however Kim was quick to point out that the mare finished fourth at her only start over 1400m adding that the mare is rarely far away and with luck in running from a good gate Oxford Heart will again be competitive in the final event Tab Rewards Bm75.
