Saturday 15 February 2020 was a great day for the stable our four winners, General Jackson; Fierce Fighter Chijmes and Saragon, was the eleventh time we achieved four winners on a day at the same venue. Our first goes all the way back to 19th May 1987, when Dispensation; Ganymede, Good Books and Wallah all won!
Then we have our six winners on a day at the same venue to add, this we achieved twice, first on the 09 July 1994 and then on 09 August 1995.
Truly blessed!
