Thoroughbreds Are Go Returns For The Spring Of 2022

Breednet - Monday October 31

Monday night, Thoroughbreds Are Go returns with great information for racing owners looking to find new homes for their ex-racehorses as well as useful advice for people giving them a new life away from the track.

Ex-racehorse Piazza San Pietro thriving after racing. Currently in Melbourne at the Australian Jumping Championships.

The first show for the spring series features Kick Collective’s Vicky Leonard and “Kick Up” a new industry body seeking out actual facts about thoroughbred welfare to encourage racing fans to kick-up for our industry in the face of increased criticism from anti-racing campaigners.

Five-star eventer Lauren Browne shows off her two thoroughbreds with some great advice for anyone wanting to re-train an ex-racehorse for eventing competition and for other leisure purposes.

This season of five episodes will also include a beautiful story of some great matriarchs at Darley Woodlands as John Sunderland explains how to care for retired broodmares. They include the great-grandmother of this year’s Caulfield Guineas winner Golden Mile, Alizes and other blue-blooded ladies now living a life of leisure into their 20’s.

Silverdale Farm features with half-siblings who have gone full circle and returned to their birthplace and Steve Grant discusses the great education Silverdale provides for young thoroughbred enthusiasts at the Silverdale Academy.

We will also feature Thoroughbred Sport Horse Association’s first National Championships coming up in November plus a lot more through the spring.

Thoroughbreds Are Go is supported by major sponsor, Tab, while the popular Arrowfield Stud Strapper Stories returns with more heart-warming tales of the love of our stable staff for the horses they care for and how they stay in touch with them after they retire. TAG is  also supported by Inglis, Godolphin Lifetime Care, Chris Waller Racing and Kingstar Farm.

The show airs at 7.30pm Monday nights on Sky Thoroughbred Central and can be viewed live on the home page of the Racing NSW website: racingnsw.com.au
