Oscar teaching the yearlings a thing or two this morning 🥹💙
Our retired champ has been enjoying a little jog up with the young ones, showing them how it’s done before he heads south on Tuesday to begin his next chapter at stud.
Pretty special seeing the old boy back out there with the next generation - he might be retired from racing, but he’s clearly still got plenty to teach them 🐎

The Stable/Stud Excellence Award recognises the outstanding contribution of an individual who is an integral part of a stable.
This award celebrates the people who consistently go above and beyond - showing dedication, reliability, knowledge, care and pride in their work. They may not always be the person in the spotlight, but they are often the backbone of the operation and play a vital role in the day-to-day running and success of a stable.
The long list of deserved nominees this year, shows our horses are in such great hands with not only their trainers, but also those behind the scenes to ensure they get the best results for their owners.
Good luck! We can't wait to see you all at Breckon Farms this Sunday where the winner will be announced 🤩

A pretty special milestone for one of the most special mares we’ve had through the stable 🤎
Millwood Nike was something else - 17 starts, 17 wins, and she gave us so many memorable moments on and off the track.
So good to see her now starting her next chapter and becoming a mum. A beautiful c**t and a very exciting future ahead for him.
Congratulations to everyone at Breckon Farms - we’ll be following this little guy closely. 🐴✨

You know that dream of owning a racehorse? Maybe it’s time to make it real.
Purdon Racing has shares available in three cracking standardbred yearlings and we'd love for you to join the ride!
⭐ ART MAJOR x CALLIE’S DELIGHT - FILLY | Purchased for $20,000
The first foal from a Group 1 winner! This filly's mother was a winning machine - a winner of 12 races, Callie's Delight won the Gr.1 NZ Breeders Stakes at Addington in 2023. A laid-back filly with a lovely low action, great attitude and just the right amount of sass. She's got all the makings to do it on the big stage.

⭐ AMERICAN IDEAL x CZAYNI - GELDING | Purchased for $30,000
By a tough sire and out of a speedy mare. Professional on and off the track, with a lovely nature and the attitude Nathan looks for in a young horse. Czayni has had two foals to the races and both have been winners - you can't ask for much more than that!
Pedigree page: https://www.nzbstandardbred.co.nz/sales/26sya/86
⭐ LATHER UP x HIGH SOCIETY GAL - C**T | Purchased for $50,000
A c**t Nathan LOVED on type sale day. By a relatively new sire who’s been producing a growing number of individual winners (think Debbie Lincoln, El Mystro...), this c**t is already ticking the boxes with a lovely nature and a willing attitude.
