For as little as $3,000 you can join in and race a lovely rising 2yo to be trained by Rick Hore-Lacy.
These quality yearlings have been personally selected by Rick, who has a renowned reputation for selecting outstanding, good value racehorses.
Rick’s long list of yearling sale selections includes: - Dash For Cash (cost $75,000) who went on to win the Group 1 Cadbury Guineas and the Group 1 Futurity Stakes and bankrolled $1.9 million in prizemoney. Dash For Cash was sold as a stallion for $2 million to stand at the famed Swettenham Stud. He is currently the leading freshman stallion in Victoria. - Spartacus (cost $45,000) won three Group 1 races and $800,000 in prizemoney before he was sold as a stallion for $1.2 million.
Rick also trained the outstanding colt Redoute’s Choice, brilliant winner of the 1999 Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes, who trained on to win three times at Group 1 level at three, including the 1999 Caulfield Guineas. Redoute’s Choice is now a champion stallion commanding a stud fee of $330,000 (incl. GST) at Arrowfield Stud.
The progeny of Redoute’s Choice includes the champion filly Miss Finland (five Group 1 wins), and the Group 1 winning colts who are now at stud: Snitzel, Undoubtedly, Empires Choice, Stratum and Nadeem.
So its any wonder Arrowfield’s principal John Messara greeted Rick last year with the words: “Hello, stallion maker”.
Rick has popped up with another outstanding stallion prospect this year namely Toorak Toff. Toorak Toff is a two year old colt by Show A Heart and is already a Group 3 and listed winner from his first four starts. He is free of Danehill blood which should have appeal to many studmasters. The "Toff" is currently spelling and has been set for the Caulfield Guineas.

March was a very good month for the stable with six wins and three placing’s from 29 Runners.
The winners included Bussan Boy at Moe, Pull No Punches at Ballarat, Toorak Toff who won the Magic Millions on the 8th of March and the Jansz on the 20th at Morphettville, Big Spirit who bolted in at Moonee Valley and My Kinda Music who won at Stony Creek.
Congratulations to the owners!!
We also held our open day on the 28th of March, which was an unqualified success; we sold a heap in some very nice but inexpensive horses.
Still we still have interests available in two Murphys Blu Boys, a Dash For Cash/Encosta Di Niro filly, the Barely A Moment Colt and a lovely Testa Rossa Filly.

March has been a fantastic month for the stable with some great wins.
Pinnacles took out the Business Climate Plate over 1400m for the second year in a row, and first starter Capacitor did a fantastic job when she got up to win a 1200m maiden at Moonee Valley.
Other winners include Stormulator and Hand Up, with placings going to Stashalot, Pinnacles, Spare a Dime, Britomart and Absolute Genius. Congratulation to all those owners!
Look forward to more success in the coming weeks as more of the youngsters get fit and ready to win!
