Toby Koenig topped day 1 of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale, with the $650,000 purchase of Lyndhurst farm’s Lot 280 yesterday.
The Sebring colt is out of Joleur, the well-related dam of multiple stakes winners, and is a three-quarter brother in blood to proven G1 performer Criterion.
We can’t wait to see the beautiful colt return to our shores!

It is always great to see positive progress with our thoroughbred horses and here at Ultra Racing we are pleased to report the fantastic progress of Casino Fourteen who has won recent trials at Cranbourne this month:
We are excited about the new Savabeel colt that has recently been born:
An exciting start to the month for us here at Ultra Thoroughbreds as our mare Snake Charmer won twice at Morphettville on the 1st October and the 8th October. A really impressive start to the Spring racing calendar. Snake Charmer is trained by the outstanding Phillip Stokes and ridden by jockey Emily Finnegan. We are very much looking forward to the Spring Racing Carnival in a few weeks!
Held Hostage (on the inside) is back to racing soon after having knee surgery.

Defiant Angel finished 1st at the Quayclean Handicap (1600m) at Morphettville on the 2nd January 2016. A great start to the year for the 6YO, ridden well by Ms E Finnegan, with a prize of $32,000. It has been a promising start to 2016 for Sean Buckley and the Ultra Thoroughbreds team.
