As in all medium sized stables horses come and others go.Newcomers to the band of hope,include two ex-kiwis by the rising stallion,WASHINGTON VC.Both have won at Albion Park Tuesday meetings and appear to have a bright future.LOYAL is a 5yo gelding,and OUR NEENAH,a 4yo mare.In the trotting department,ROWAN,formerly with Peter McKay at Marburg is on his way back after a short spell.A very consistent earner while in Peter's care,ROWAN will put pressure on the stable to produce similar results.Also in the trotting department,main owner,KATHRYN,has a nice filly foal by SIERRA KOSMOS from POWDERHALL GIFT.Pacing foals on the ground are fillies by PB BULLVILLE from GAY MAME and LADY PENOLA..
