Our Owner of the Month for April went to Kevin and June Pascoe for their horse Raise a Dream, here’s what Kevin had to say about his horse Raise a Dream, This five year old mare returned from 5 month spell running mid field in her return race. She then went to Oakbank on Easter Monday and ran in a 1400m race on a heavy track with a heavy down pour of rain during the race. Having started from barrier 7 she crossed the field & led from this barrier from start to finish. This has added to race record of nine wins in 35 starts & was her first Metro win. The mare then went to Murray Bridge in 1400m  heat of the Sprint Series & again led all the way for her 10th win in 36 starts.(She has racked up five wins at Murray Bridge, her home track & she has been ridden for 5 wins byJason Holder.) This allows her a start in the Final of a $100k race at Morphettville in May. The mare is out of Raise a Vain by the Champion Miler Falvelon &  is a half sister to Raise a Heart (who won 2 races from 8 starts before injury finish his racing career). The owners of this mare are Kevin & June Pascoe & Ivan & Rhonda Brook, as well as their daughters Julie Ann Grillett & Teena Glastonbury. This group of people have raced a number of horses with success over the past six years. Kevin & June also have other horses that they have bred including Halayr Jet (now back in work). The trainer of these horses Grant Young (former jockey) has done a great job breaking in & educating these horses to win races. We also thank Jason Holder for his efforts in winning races on all of our horses. Without a good team of people around a racing stable it is hard to be competitive. As hobby owners it allows us to enjoy the sport of Horse racing. Congratulations to Kevin and June, unfortunately the Sprint Final proved a bit tough for Raise a Dream.  It is great however, to see SA bred and raced horses with primarily provincial credentials getting the chance, via these types of series, to compete in $100,000 races on major city race days. SAROA continues to encourage TRSA to look at programming more of these race series as they cater almost exclusively for SA based horses and they attract big fields, both in the qualifying races and for the final.
