This horse is out of an imported Fastnet Rock mare from a family of stakes winners. This gelding is the epitome of a "ready-made" racehorse, and with his impressive physicality, he looks every bit what of we expect from the progeny of QLD’s Champion Stallion.

Most recently, Booming Bianca, another horse trained by Toby and Stephen, debuted on the Poly Track at the Sunshine Coast.

We’re already seeing the potential in some exciting young horses in the stable, including our Better Than Ready filly, Ready To Schipp, who we’re incredibly excited about.

THE PLAYWRIGHT STARS IN THRILLING FINISH TO WIN THE WIDDEN STAKES !

Tulloch Lodge will consider setting The Playwright on the same path Lady Of Camelot blazed 12 months ago after the filly emulated her Golden Slipper winning stablemate by claiming the Hidden Stakes Lady Of Camelot took out the fillies’ feature last year before going on to beat all but Haysugi in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) in Melbourne.

BOOMING BIANCA EXPLODES ON DEBUT !

Talented 3yo Spirit of Boom filly trained by Toby Edmonds & Stephen McLean showed a brilliant turn of foot to score on debut with jockey Brandon Lerena at the Sunshine Coast over 1100m(24th Nov). The filly settled in behind them under a lovely patient ride from Lerena, she attacked the line strongly once in clear air and won easily. Being a QTIS filly she collected extra prize-money for her connections, taking her winnings to just over $32,000. She was a $30,000 purchase for Tricolours Racing, and her owners have been well rewarded for their patience with this filly who is still going to continue to improve in time Director Tricolours Racing James Moss said "She travelled beautifully in transit after the awkward start, but Brandon did a terrific job. He slotted her in behind the pace, and she settled well. I was very confident turning for home that we were going better than anything. The most exciting thing is that we are pretty sure she isn't an 1100m horse. She should improve with time and racing and will get out further in trip. So to see her win like that was very pleasing for the future". The filly's next run is being planned by the Edmonds and McLean training team.Photo / image credit: Trackside Photography Australia

THE NOVELIST WRITES HIS NEXT CHAPTER WITH AN OUTSTANDING WIN AT KEMBLA !

Lightly raced 4yo gelding The Novelist, trained by the crack Waterhouse / Bott partnership scored a super impressive win at Kembla (23rd Nov) on "The Gong" Day on a very fast track. He tenaciously outgunned his rivals with Molly Bourke in the saddle. Nicknamed Flash, he burst onto the racing scene in late 2022 winning his first two starts including the Group 3 BRC BJ McLachlan Stakes and was favoured for the 2023 Magic Millions 2YO Classic, before being withdrawn due to an injury which kept him off the ring scene for an extended period of time. he was has well and truly bounced back from what has been a tough couple of years due to the injury. Director of Tricolours Racing, James Moss said "He was so incredibly brave, Molly did a terrific job. She controlled the tempo, got to the best part of the track, and despite looking certain to run second at about the 200m mark, he just lifted. As soon as that other horse got to him, he just refused to lay down, such a gutsy performance from both Flash and Molly". The Novelist showed all his fighting qualities to score this big win for his all female ownership group ! His next race is currently being planned, with an eye on a feature race at Wyong on 11th December. Photo image credit: Bradley Photographers

THE PLAYWRIGHT WINS ON DEBUT - WHAT A WIN !

Tricolours Racing very nearly got to the Magic Millions 2YO Classic in 2023 with speedy Written By colt The Novelist ... and could well get there in 2025 with The Playwright, a filly by the same sire in Written By and trained by the Waterhouse / Bott team just as The Novelist was. The Playwright has scored an outstanding victory at Rosehill (30th Nov), in The Ranvet Handicap over 1100m lining up against a hot field of talented 2 year olds, she flew the gates and given an excellent front running ride by Regan Bayliss. The 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast in January is a very possible target for her, but connections aren't getting too ahead of themselves at this point. Director of Tricolours Racing, James Moss said "That was a very tough win from our filly. She put away a very high profile group of 2yr olds today and was taken on the whole way - but she just wouldn't lie down. The filly has an all-female ownership group and I am absolutely thrilled for them. And a masterful training performance from Gai and Adrian, it's so very exciting. Let's see how she pulls up from this run and we will go from there."

Karaka proves a happy hunting ground again!

We love going to the New Zealand Bloodstock sales at Karaka to source our horses, and we thing we have secured two elite two year olds at the Ready To Run Sale. The NZB Ready To Run sale has produced Group 1 horses year after year. Mr Brightside, Te Akau Shark, Golden Sixty, Gingernuts and Ceolwulf just to name a few!So we were delighted to secure two really nice horses from the sale. Firstly, lot 116 is a Contributer filly out of Pipsqueak Rose. She is out of a winning Alamosa mare, who is a half sister to Group 1 winner Lion's Roar. That makes our filly a 3/4 sister to a Group 1 winner!Bred to stay, we were incredibly impressed with her breeze up. For a horse who will be aimed at classic staying races, she shows a lovely turn of foot in her breeze up, and was the 4th fastest filly of the entire sale. She is a stunning physical too, a big strong filly with plenty of scope, the perfect horse for John Sargent to guide to all the classic races in her 3yr old season. Watch her breeze up below! Our second purchase was a strong gelding by outstanding sire Better Than Ready. He is out of a Fastnet Rock mare in Garter. He just looks a ready mare race horse this guy, and being fully paid up for the lucrative QTIS Bonus scheme, he looks the perfect horse to join our stable with Toby Edmonds. We loved the way he knuckled down and lengthened in his breeze up, and Toby and I were both really impressed with how he paraded at the sale. Much like all from the sire, he is a typical Better Than Ready. A great attitude, strong physical, and a real tough looking type. We have already had great success with the stallion with Cool N Ready and Ready To Schipp, so we can't wait to get this guy to the Gold Coast.Watch his breeze up below: For more info, contact james@tricolours.com.auBoth purchases are awaiting PDS approval and will be on sale soon!

BRAZIL WINS AT KEMBLA !

Exciting 4 year old gelding Brazil has continued to build an impressive record since transferring to Mitch Beer's stables earlier this year, with a strong win at Kembla (Nov 16) over 1500m with Blake Spriggs on board. 7 months ago Brazil caught the eye of James Moss, Director of Tricolours Racing when he was placed up for sale as a tried by his previous ownership group after having a few starts. Moss knows this family well, having syndicated and raced Brazil's mother Pecans who was a multiple Stakes performer in 2017 / 2018 for Tricolours Racing."He is such a progressive type, a seriously nice racehorse and the best is most definitely to come" said Moss. "He nearly fell at his last race start as he was badly buffeted in the straight but was still able to finish 2nd, when he was entitled to drop right out of the race at that point. We weren't sure how he would bounce back from that but we needn't have worried, he put them away superbly today. I am so thrilled for his owners as well as Mitch and his team who have a done a terrific job with him from Day One".Indications are that Brazil can get out to 2000m in time, possibly further. A very promising horse to follow, this one. His next race is currently being planned.Photo credit: Bradley Photos

HARLOW MIST BACK IN THE WINNER'S CIRCLE !

Talented 4 year old mare Harlow Mist, trained by John Sargent, returned to winning form with a gutsy win and a 10/10 ride from Nash Rawiller at Newcastle over 1600m (BM72) on 16th November. She settled midfield with Nash then looking for a run on straightening, she chased hard to find the front 200m out and fought on gamely to grab the win in a perfectly timed ride."Really great to see that performance today", said James Moss Director of Tricolours Racing. "We brought her back in the Autumn and she just didn't come up for that prep, so we gave her a nice long break. Her first run was an eye-catcher which gave us confidence that she was back on track. She has showed a lot of grit and tenacity to get the job done today with a masterful ride from Nash. Very happy for her ownership group and also Sarge and his team who absolutely love this little mare".Harlow Mist will head back to the races in a couple of weeks time, with an eye on some potential black type later in the prep.Photo credit: Bradley Photos

Manuscript bolts in to break his Maiden

Manuscript claimed his first victory in style at Wyong on November 9, 2024, winning the 1000m maiden in impressive fashion. The 3-year-old gelding, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott and ridden by Jean Van Overmeier, controlled the tempo from the outset, before unleashing a strong finishing burst in the final 200m to win by a widening 3 lengths. It was a well-deserved breakthrough after a long injury lay off, showcasing his growing maturity and ability. Jockey Jean Van Overmeire took bad luck out of the equation, allowing the gelding to find his rhythm before asking for his best effort. Tricolours Director, James Moss, couldn't have been more pleased for his owners. "He really deserved that win. He showed amazing potential as a 2yr old, but was injured at his only start. He should really be undefeated. His owners have been very supportive and patient in allowing us to manage his return to the races, so hopefully now they will continue to be rewarded". The victory will see the horse likely to target more competitive races this summer. But at this stage, being a gelding, he can work through the grades. Photo: Bradley Photos

ELETTRICA AND MOLLY STRIKE AGAIN !

Bonny mare Elettrica notched up an outstanding victory (2nd Nov) on Golden Eagle Day at Rosehill over 1300m (BM 78), taking her earnings to almost $400,000. Trained by Richard and Will Freedman, the 6 year old mare was in career-best form in her previous campaign, which has carried over into her current prep. All the signs are showing that the best is yet to come.James Moss, Director of Tricolours said "she is such a tough mare who is really enjoying her racing, I could not be more proud of her. She is building a lovely partnership with Molly Bourke who knows her so well, and all kudos to Richard and Will Freedman and their team - they have done a fantastic job with her since she came into their stable just over 18 months ago". A huge congratulations to her devoted ownership group !Richard and Will Freedman are currently planning her next run.Photo credit:Bradley Photographers

Cashburn brings up her first win in style !

Lovely 3 year old Capitalist filly Cashburn, trained by Annebel Neasham and Rob Archibald, won her maiden in fine style at Nowra over 1400m (20th Oct) with Alysha Collett in the saddle. "That was a very nice win for our filly today", said Jame Moss, Director of Tricolours Racing "I thought it was a very good ride from Alysha who had to take off on at the 600m as there was nothing to cart her in to the race, but the filly made her own luck and held on really well late".Congratulations to her ownership group ! Cashburn's next assignment will be in early November, back at Nowra over 1400m in a BM 58 with Alysha Collett back on board.Photo credit: Bradley Photographers

Ready To Schipp breaks the track record!

At just her second career start, Ready To Schipp broke the Gold Coast Poly Track record with an outstanding performance on Saturday. Ridden by Sean Cormack and trained by Toby Edmonds, Ready To Schipp jumped well from a soft gate and settled outside the lead. As the field straightened, it was clear she was traveling beautifully, but she surged ahead with incredible momentum, winning by a widening 4.8 lengths and setting a new track record in the process. The win was not a surprise to the team, as she had been ultra-impressive on debut despite racing over an unsuitable distance. Ready To Schipp may now move on to metro Saturday grade and is an exciting prospect for the future. Congratulations to all her owners!

Ningaloo Star now a Stakes Performer!

Ningaloo Star and Molly Bourke came close to achieving a remarkable victory at Wyong on Sunday in the Listed Mona Lisa Stakes. Trained by John Sargent, the mare displayed immense courage, tracking just outside the lead and delivering a strong kick in the straight. However, she was narrowly overtaken by Terra Mater in the final moments. Though she fell just short of a career-defining win, her second-place finish adds a valuable stakes result to her record of seven wins, enhancing her future breeding prospects. Additionally, her half-brother, Stay Focused, also made a notable performance over the weekend, securing third place in the Group 3 McNeill Stakes at Caulfield. Our resilient mare will now enjoy a brief respite before being targeted for the $1 million Magic Millions Mares race at the Gold Coast in January. Photo: Bradley Photos

EASY VICTORY FOR RUSH ATTACK !

3yo Brave Smash gelding Rush Attack scored an easy win at Kempsey over 1450m (30th July) for his first start for Nathan Doyle, which also brought up his second career win. He was placed beautifully for this race, and backed up with a lovely ride from Ben Osmond. "Really pleasing to see the win there today from Rush Attack at his first start with Nathan, he has shown good ability right from the start", said Tricolours Director James Moss. "He seems to have really got into his groove now and has finished Top 4 at his last 4 starts. There is still improvement to come and we are really looking forward to the prep ahead".Congratulations to all his owners. His next run is currently being planned by Nathan Doyle.

NINGALOO STAR DOMINATES AND BOLTS IN AT THE KENSO !

The John Sargent trained mare Ningaloo Star scored an emphatic victory at the Kensington track (15th May) with Molly Bourke in the saddle. The 4 year old mare dominated and was a class above her rivals over the 1250m.James Moss, Director of Tricolours Racing said "That was outstanding. We were confident going into the race that if she brought her A game, she would be very hard to beat. And bring her A-game she did, and Molly rode her an absolute treat. She is in career best order and her 2 runs this campaign have been excellent."John Sargent is currently planning Ningaloo Star's next race, . "She has come back in super order and is a really seasoned race mare now, we will continue to progress her through the grades and there might be a nice Stakes race or two for her to compete in this prep" said James Moss.

The Novelist - he's back !

It had been a long 455 day wait between runs for the very talented 3 year old colt The Novelist, trained by the Waterhouse / Bott stable. After commencing his early 2 year old career in late 2022, where he won 2 from 2 including the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Stakes, he was one of the favourites heading to the Magic Millions 2YO Classic in January 2023. Unfortunately he sustained a leg injury which sidelined him for over 12 months. His recovery was very carefully and patiently managed by the team at Hannover lodge. He came into work a few months back, and was progressing beautifully with his work, and all the signs were that he was back on track. He trialled impressively ... and on Golden Slipper day at Rosehill, he contested the listed Darby Munro Stakes over 1200m with Tim Clark in the saddle. He flew the gates and led the field impressively, and at one stage in the straight, looked like he could win - but was run down in the closing stages to finish 4th, only 1.2 lengths from the winner. A large. all-ladies ownership group was on track to watch his return and cheer him on. "He is back !", said James Moss, Director of Tricolours. "He was such an exciting 2 year old, and terrible luck that he sustained the injury which kept him out of racing all this time. Absolutely delighted to see him back with such great heart and wanting to compete. Honestly would have just been happy to see him go around and finish back in the field, knowing he would take huge fitness benefit from the run given his long absence. Someone clearly forgot to tell him that!"Plans are currently being made for his next start, with some big Autumn Carnival targets in mind.

Elettrica bolts in on Golden Slipper Day !!!

It was s sensational victory for Elettrica and jockey Molly Bourke in the opening race (Midway) on Golden Slipper Day at Rosehill. Trained by Richard and Will Freedman, Elettrica has been one of the most consistent race-mares in Sydney. At her last couple of starts, she was very unlucky not to have won, drawing wide barriers which saw her finishing a gallant second both times."That was a stunning victory there today said James Moss," Director of Tricolours Racing "she is absolutely flying, Will and Richard have done an amazing job to really tap into the psyche of this mare and she is a happy and healthy horse who is enjoying her racing. Huge kudos to Molly Bourke too, she handles this mare beautifully and the way she was able to steer her through a very tight gap in the closing stages was just brilliant".Elettrica will now likely be given a little freshen up for a few weeks before heading north to target some black type races in Qld in the winter..

So Greysful scores an impressive win !

Capitalist mare So Greysful scored a very good win at Grafton (22nd Feb), leading to a lot of joy for her all-ladies ownership group. Fantastic placement from trainer Toby Edmonds and a 10/10 ride from Andrew Mallyon.Once the gap came, she was too good and she kicked away to win convincingly. She is a mare who has had some bad luck in her runs, so it was lovely to see it all come together for her."That was a good win today, it's been a little between wins but she has genuine excuses in her runs. This will give her great confidence and hopefully she can keep going with this turn-around in form", said James Moss, Director of Tricolours Racing.Toby Edmonds has confirmed the mare has pulled up well and he is currently planning her next run.Congratulations to her ownership group !

Two from two for Toes and Nash !

Toesonthennose was steered to a second consecutive victory by Nash Rawiller in the $160,000 Vale Ray Markey Handicap (1800m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday (2nd Dec) for John Sargent. The New Zealand bred gelding was too strong for his rivals and finished with plenty of petrol left in the tank in a very impressive display.Read Breednet article below by Tara Madgwick on the win:READ BREEDNET ARTICLE HERE ON TOESONTHENOSE VICTORYPhoto Credit: Bradley Photos

Rush Attack breaks maiden in Super style!

Exciting mare Party For One has continued to impress since joining the stables of Mick Price and Michael Kent at Cranbourne. After 2 unlucky performances at Sandown, when getting back and flying home, she has now posted back to back wins at Flemington in super impressive fashion. On the 13th of May, she stepped up to the 1400m with Blake Shinn on board, and after settling in a prominent position, she was held up until the 200m, before showing her customary turn off foot, blowing the field away to win by a widening 2L.3 weeks later, she returned to the same track and trip, this time asked to lump 60kgs from a wide draw. With Blake Shinn in the saddle again, she showed great gate speed to settle in a lovely spot early, and despite being asked to make a long, sustained run, she was again way too good to register back to back wins. Mick and Michael have done a terrific job with the mare, and stakes races are calling in the Spring. Straight after the win yesterday, Michael Kent Jn was already eyeing off some nice mares races over the carnival. We will see how she pulls up, but she may head back to Flemington for one more run this prep over 1400m. Congratulations to all her owners, which include Silverdale Farm.

Exciting times ahead !"The next race for Toesonthenose is currently being planned by John Sargent. He is certainly a horse to follow. Career stats are now 10: 3-2-3

Toesonthenose wins at Newcastle !

Opacity scored an impressive win at Doomben in a BM85 Handicap (8th April) over 1640m to deliver his ownership group a well deserved victory. He was given a lovely ride by Andrew Mallyon and was too strong late, winning by half a length. It has been a great training performance from Trent and Toby Edmonds who have taken a very patient approach with the 6 year old gelding since he transferred into their Gold Coast stable from Sydney in October 2022."That's a huge result on the back of a lot of hard work from Team Edmonds, just getting to know him and working him out over the last six months,"said Tricolours Director James Moss "I never stopped believing in him, and the first couple of runs this prep were all about building him up to today. He put the writing on the wall two starts back when he finished 2nd, and I was feeling really confident about what he could do out there today."His next race is currently being planned.Opacity was purchased by Tricolours as a tried horse in mid 2022. He had a very good record as a younger horse but had tapered off in his performances as a then 5 year old, and his previous ownership group put him up for sale. James Moss had always followed the horse and knew of his earlier racing record. He believed there was a good opportunity for Opacity to regain form and rejuvenate his racing with a change of scenery and a new training approach. Tricolours Racing has had a number of success stories with tried horses purchases including the likes of Pecans and Threeood. And now with his fantastic win at Doomben, Opacity can be added to that list.A huge congratulations to Opacity's ownership group and connections !

Dorothy Gail books her spot in the $2 million Inglis Millennium !

A stunning victory from 2yr old Capitalist filly Dorothy Gail today at Scone over 900m for Annabel Neasham and Alysha Collett has seen her rocket into Millennium calculations where she will almost certainly take her place in the field in 2 weeks time.A decision was made by Annabel to bypass the group 3 Widden Stakes at Rosehill on 28th January, and instead opt for the "safer" option in contesting today's 2 year old maiden at Scone, a race she had to win to have enough price money overall to be in the Millennium.She overhauled favourite Tarabeau in the straight and was just too good today, drawing away from the pack and really running through the line."That was such an impressive win. She did a few things wrong in that race, and even then she was still able to pin the ears back and hit the line" said Tricolours Director James Moss. "She is a really nice filly, and we have some lovely target races for her in Autumn after the Millennium. She's one to follow!"Dorothy Gail will now head to the Inglis Millennium on the 12th of February, with star jockey Tom Marquand booked for the ride. Photo: Bradley Photos

Tricolours Racing Director James Moss said "I thought her first-up run this prep at Gosford finishing 4th was excellent, so it was great to see her finally get some luck today. I have always been a big believer in this filly but from the start of her career, nothing has gone her way. Finally now is her time to shine."Plans are currently being made for her next race start, and the Tricolours team is very hopeful that she is in for a successful prep.
