Photography and the Thoroughbred Industry

November 20, 2017

Attracting new staff to work in the thoroughbred industry is often a topic of concern for our industry, and the COVID-19 Pandemic has done much to accentuate the problems in Australia while our international border remains shut. From a personal point of view I often worry about the capacity to attract future equine photographers to the industry and wonder who will replace some of the people like myself who's been doing it for a little while now. Whilst I can take presently take an upcoming photographer to a stud farm and teach them things away from the hustle and bustle of the racetrack, the only place they will obtain the necessary skills for photographing race meetings and to hone their instincts and reflexes and teach them the ability to think quickly and react to situations unfolding in front of them, is at the racetrack itself. But there are so many impediments to getting access to the track, and more critically, in photographers having the ability to successfull...

"The King" - Animal Kingdom arrives at Arrowfield Stud

August 28, 2013

He's here. He likes peppermints. He's tall. Leggy. Athletic. And he's my "New Boy". He's the American and world champion racehorse, Animal Kingdom. I was so excited to meet him. Is there a little bit of Phar Lap to his looks? I like to think so.... I fed him some peppermints. It's important for a girl to bond with her horses. And with me, I just can't help myself....

"For me, however, the horse that stirred the emotions and provided a moment in time that will be remembered for years to come isn’t even among the 15 Breeders’ Cup winners. He is Animal Kingdom, whose spectacular burst of speed to finish second in the Mile left me in awe of this horse’s ability and fortitude… Animal Kingdom was always destined for greatness". ...

The Legacy of Eight Carat: From the Vault Volume I

July 19, 2021

We have been back in lockdown here in Victoria. Lockdown 5.0 to be precise and as a result it made us go back to feeling like sad sacks. After having seen off Lockdown 4.0 a teeny tiny bit triumphantly, where we saw off both Delta and Kappa variants (evil beasts that they are - curse you stinky COVID - curse you), we had literally only just gotten back to work before being very suddenly plunged back into Lockdown 5.0 after the visit of those very nice removalists. 'Thanks very much!!!!' we all shouted indignantly!!!! A key difference with Lockdown 5.0 was that half the country also into lockdown at the same time which made us feel slightly less sad. The Victorian Government doesn't muck about anymore when it comes to outbreaks. Their reaction is swift and severe and not at all namby pamby. I just wish the same logic would be applied to Sydney which continues to deteriorate, much to my dismay. This week we took our first tentative steps out of ...
