Our Owner of the Month for January was Tiffany Hartwell who had three winners in one day at Port Lincoln when partner John MacMillan made the trip from Clayton Bay to the Eyre Peninsula for a day’s racing. Tiffany gave us some background on the three horses which follows: HURRICANE ANDY:  Bred by long time clients John and Meredith Sinclair, he is a half-brother to Moonee Valley winner Highness.  We purchased him at the Magic Millions Yearling sales in 2012 and syndicated him out, keeping 30%.  He ran second his first start at Morphettville then was disappointing at Oakbank and he was found to be a roarer.  He went to Ballarat to have a relatively new procedure where they graft nerves into one of the neck muscles (very basic explanation).  Since then he has had 3 runs for a 4th and 2 wins, so it obviously worked which is nice!  John decided to take him to Port Lincoln as being a maiden the race for him was SABOIS and being a 4yo sprinter he only gets one chance at claiming that.  JACKS JOURNEY: We bred along him with Ross Webb and a few other clients and he is a half-brother to Holy Guacamoley who John also trained.  He showed limited ability early in his career and was found to have chipped a knee. He had surgery to remove the bone chips and since then has gone on to win 4 races.  He is a good honest horse who always puts in 100% and you know every time he goes to the races he will try his hardest. HE’LL TELL US: Went well at Port Lincoln with his previous trainer before a short spell then joined us and was having his first run for us. I was lucky enough to be offered a share in him when he arrived and jumped at the chance. All 3 horses were ridden perfectly by Stable apprentice Eran Boyd (Jacks Journey and He’ll Tell Us) and Jamie Kah (Hurricane Andy) and of course trained to the minute and well placed by trainer John MacMillan who thankfully doesn’t mind a drive! Unfortunately I didn’t get to go over to Port Lincoln as I had to take Creance to Morphettville to race the following day where I just missed out on 4 winners for January when he ran second.
