From just 6 starts, Pure Melody has had nothing go her way until today at Wagga where she finally got that elusive win! 🏇💨💨 It was looking like a ‘not again’ moment when she was bottled up in the pack coming into the straight but jockey Mathew Cahill manoeuvred her into the clear and she raced home for a terrific win.👌Owner TC Bloodstock came very close to getting a double with the ever consistent Gatchan going down by a nose and a nose for third. 👏👏 Great effort Gardner Racing Team.😃

Norm Gardner Racing has purchased these three lovely c**ts at the Inglis Classic Yearling sales:
- A c**t by Stay Inside, by Australia’s hottest young sire Extreme Choice, he was a dominant winner of the Golden Slipper and from his first crop his progeny have already won The Breeders Plate, Canonbury Stakes and Wellesley Stakes and from a Group producing Snitzel mare.
- A c**t by In The Congo, who was a champion sprinter and winner of the Golden Rose among other Group races and a three-quarter brother to Autumn Glow. This is his first crop.
- and a c**t by Zousain a sire of Group placed horses and prolific sire of winners.
There are still some shares available in all of them, so if you want to get involved in the excitement of owning a racehorse, message or give Norm a call on 0418 625410 or email [email protected].
