I visited the Northern Rivers Equine Veterinary Clinic and Llowalong Farms today while exploring the Goulburn Valley. It was another busy farm with so much activity. Kath McIntosh joined me to discuss the current season.

CC with Blanche Poole

Today in the Goulburn Valley, I visited Rhiannon Park. I had a conversation with Blanche Poole about the current season, breeding, and how she and Dean have successfully grown their business to where it is now. The breeding season is almost over, and soon they will focus on the yearlings. The team has a busy year ahead of them.

CC with Pat Driscoll and Breeding A Champion

**Breeding a Champion!** I recently spoke with Pat Driscoll about what it takes to breed a champion trotter. One of the standout horses, Just Believe, bred by Yabby Dam Farms, has dominated the racing scene, winning nearly every major race in Australia and New Zealand. However, he is not the only exceptional trotter produced by Haras des Trotteurs Stallions. The Locomotive won the 2024 Inter-Dominion, with Keayang Chucky finishing in second place, among many other outstanding trotters. Pat shared valuable insights into how he selects the stallions that represent Haras des Trotteurs, emphasizing that success is no accident.
