LOMBARDO
Bred by Burnewang North and Eric Lucas, Lombardo was originally sold as a yearling to Aquis Farm with the breeders staying in for a small share. After some setbacks with injuries, Aquis sold their share and Burnewang North repurchased the lion share in the horse and pushed on with him.
Lombardo worked his way through the grades with a stakes win at Caulfield in the Village Listed Stakes and then ventured to Adelaide where he flourished and capped of 5 of his 8 career wins.
The pinnacle being his win in the 2022 Group 1 Goodwood Handicap. Lombardo finding the lead from barrier 18 and travelling so sweetly in the lead for Zac Spain, giving a nice kick in the run home and holding off all challengers to win by an impressive 1.5l.
In doing so, the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained 5-year-old recorded the eighth success of his 16-start career, one that has seen him amass over $715,000 in stakes.
THE FORTUNE TELLER
Bred by Burnewang North Pastoral and Peter Raftopoulous, The Fortune Teller was a $90,000 weanling purchase for Ciaron Maher Racing at the COVID-hit 2020 Great Southern Sale, held online.
From the first crop of Scat Daddy’s dual Group 1 winner Caravaggio (USA), The Fortune Teller is the best of two winners from as many to race from the winning Commands mare National Velvet.
The Fortune Teller is the first stakes-winner in Australia for Caravaggio (USA), which shuttled to Coolmore Stud for one season.
A consistent stakes performer in his 3 yo year, The Fortune Teller broke through for his career defining win in the 2023 Group III Fujitsu Carbine Club Stakes (1600m).
Ridden by Tom Marquand for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, the 3yo son of Caravaggio (USA) rallied after being headed by the Maurice (JPN) colt Matcha Latte to eke out a maiden stakes success by a head.
The winner of a Swan Hill maiden on debut last August, The Fortune Teller owns placings in the Group II Sandown Guineas, Group II Autumn Stakes, and Group III Carbine Club Stakes at Flemington.
ON THE BUBBLES
An attractive colt by Brazen Beau, On the Bubbles was identified at the weanling sale by Bevan Smith for Ben Kwok at the 2019 Great Southern Weanling Sale.
As vendors, we had identified that he had a few setbacks when he was younger and that made him look a bit behind his other mates in the paddock. We thought he had a good frame and would eventually grow into a nice horse, but he was a bit backwards at sale time. He didn’t have the best of x-rays. He had moderate sized stifle OCDs. So while he was popular with viewers and had quite a few second lookers, we only got him just over the line for his reserve.
However, none of these issues have held him back and On The Bubbles has gone on to be a star in the Te Akau Racing team.
Since his December 2020 winning debut, On The Bubbles secured the Karaka 2YO Million Listed race on 23 January 2021 to the delight of breeders, owners and trainers. He then went on to the G3 Matamata RC Slipper and G1 ARC Diamond Stakes in which he ran two great 2nds to star Snitzel colt, Sword of The State.
His day would come on 3rd April 2021 when he won the G1 Manawatu Sires Produce to get his much deserved Group 1 win on the board.
ON THE BUBBLES was retired in 2024 with a race record of 23: 7-4-3 and securing just under $1m in prizemoney.
NEED I SAY MORE
A colt by first season sire No Nay Never, this chestnut was popular at the weanling sale on the Gold Coast in 2018. He was identified and purchased by Eoin Kemp from Kilgravin Lodge.
Prepped by Eoin for the 2019 Karaka Yearling sale, he was purchased by David Ellis and his powerful Te Aku Racing team. Trained by Jamie Richards, Need I Say More was undefeated as a 2yo including the Group 3 Waikato Stud Slipper over 1200m in which he beat a Group 1 stablemate Cool Aza Beel (Savabeel).
After a COVID-19 enforced lay off, he returned on 5th September as a 3yo and kept up his undefeated record, winning the Northland Breeders’ Stales (Group 3, 1200m) in a powerful front-running display.
His 2020 Spring kicked off on 5/9/20 with a win in the Group 3 Waikato RC Northland Breeders Stakes which led him into the G2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas where he ran a brave 4th to star Aegon. From there he went on to secure another G2, G3 and Listed win in a preparation that lasted until March 2021.
One of the most consistent 3YO horses racing in Australasia with a record of 9:7-0-0.
After 5 stakes wins, Need I Say More was sold to Hong Kong and races over there as Spirited Express.
TRANSACT
Transact (Dundeel-Rap Tale), was always a looker and was identified by Gai Waterhouse at the 2017 Magic Millions sale as a first season yearling of his sire Dundeel.
After identifying that the horse needed distance, Gai set him several tasks culminating in the time honoured VRC St Ledger on Anzac Day 2019. Transact relished the extra distance of the 2800m and valiantly led from start to finish to win the Listed Race for his numerous connections.
An injury enforced retirement sees Transact living an OTT life with Jasmine from Burnewang North’s staff.
TRANSLATOR
A consistent performer for his large ownership group, Translator took us all on a ride when he ran bravely in the 2019 VRC Derby.
Since then he has found his distance around the 1600m – 1800m mark and has performed well and consistently throughout his preparations for trainer Nigel Blackiston.
His last preparation ended in April 2021 with a 1st and two seconds in town, so we look forward to his spring return.
