Awesome to see our last Thoroughbred pre-trainer, PAPARAZZI run such a bold race first up this prep, just going down half a head on the line.

He enjoyed a few weeks of solid arena work, focussing on developing a better quality canter.

We have a couple of vacancies for pre-training, and offer varied and individualised programs to suit each horse.

Get in touch to book your horse in 🤩

Excited to cheer on Gryllsy & Smudge! 🎉

Cambridge Raceway is excited to welcome New Zealand’s leading jockey, CRAIG GRYLLS, on course this Friday, January 9th as he takes on the Dunstan Horsefeeds Battle of the Breeds 2026 — right in the heart of our Flying stakes race meeting.

Craig Grylls is one of the biggest names in NZ racing:
▪️ Premiership-winning jockey
▪️Multiple Group One winner
▪️ Over 1,000 career wins

He will partner the Group One winning thoroughbred ON THE ROCKS, formerly trained by Ballymore Racing NZ - a recent winner of a TiES jumping futurity qualifier and owned by our very own Jo Ferguson.

The pair join the LOVERACING.NZ Team Thoroughbred in Friday nights competition, and this is a must-see night for racing fans of all codes.

He's ridden in the Monte trot, he's won the dual sulky race.... but can he show jump?

Be on course to find out.

🎉 Big personalities. Big competition. Big night out.
📍 Cambridge Raceway | 🗓 Friday, January 9th | ⏰ 3.50pm

A massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY shoutout to all of our wonderful Standardbreds 🥳🥳

We have a majority of our horses turning 2yo today - spending the best part of 2025 educating them and we hope to hit the ground running this year with our youngstock.

2026 - The year of the horse. As George Simon would say; Let's bring it on! 💪

Happy new year everyone.

Enjoy 🥂

🟡⚫️ While we didn't win, we are extremely proud of CRACKERJACK's efforts in Friday nights Golden Gait final at Alexandra Park.

He made the Gr.1 winner Ya Rite Darl really work to get past him, and kept the margin to half a length.

He has come a long way throughout his 3 year old season, giving us lots of proud moments and lots to be excited for, as he's certainly put his hand up amongst the best of his age group in his last few starts.

He's now off for a well deserved Christmas holiday 🎄

PAPARAZZI and I sand dancing our way into the festive season 💃

We absolutely love to be able to offer these thoroughbreds a change of scenery, and arena work is so good for their balance and rhythm.

They're home 🏡

She Reigns and her Volstead filly back on the farm today. Again, a huge thankyou to the foaling unit staff at Cambridge Stud - professional and thorough as you'd expect. Really put our mind at ease throughout the whole process.

Long legs and big ears - that's the recipe for success isn't it?

As the years go by, things evolve. Dylan and I are Kpop parents now - so welcome to the circus, Rumi!
