Captain Duffy took first place at Morphettville on the 14th October 2017 with the apprentice Chris Caserta!
Captain Duffy is trained by Phillip Stokes and we are excited to see him head to the Melbourne Spring Carnival!
The 2 year old son of Savabeel has won his debut at Warwick Park on Wednesday 19th July 2017. Addictive Nature was purchased at the Karaka Spring Sale 2016 and is the full-brother to the Group II winner Savvy Nature. Ridden by jockey Tim Clark he comfortably won the race by 1.3 lengths over Gold Standard and Schubert.
“He has shown us a lot so it’s nice to see him put them away today,” said Bjorn Baker’s stable foreman
ack Bruce.
“We have been waiting a good year for that since we’ve had him.
“He is a real good looker and he has got the manners to match which I think is very important for a colt. He takes everything in his stride and even today before the race, how he handled everything, was very impressive.”

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:
A fantastic interview with jockey Chad Schofield who won the Cox Plate in 2013 with maiden Shamus Award. Chad was only an apprentice at the time and Shamus Award just a maiden. Together they created a unique part of Australian racing history. Shamus Award went on to win the Australian Guineas in 2014 and was also Three-Year Old Colt/Gelding of the Year in the same year. Chad Schofield has gone on to much success and is currently in Hong Kong where he is enjoying international racing life.
We are excited about the new Savabeel colt that has recently been born:
Ultra Racing’s Captain Duffy won the Geelong Classic 2200m on Wednesday! Currently trained by Phillip Stokes, Captain Duffy is now preparing for the Victoria Derby on the 29th October 2016.
Champion jockey Noel Callow put him into a prominent spot in the first half of the race, took over 800m from home and dashed clear early in the straight. Callow has previously won the 2005 Derby with Benicio.
Ultra Racing is excited for the rest of the Spring racing season – with recent wins by Snake Charmer it is shaping up to be a prosperous one!
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!
