Grandstand View has a new format

Welcome to the first edition of the new format of Grandstand View, Laurel Oak’s monthly client newsletter.

This is a combined August/September edition that allows us the time to establish this new format, and a fuller explanation can be found here.  There will be two stages to the format change, and this newsletter will reflect the first of those, which will also be explained in greater detail later in this newsletter.

The purpose of the new format is to be able to provide you with more timely information between Grandstand View editions, and also to make the newsletter more concise whilst still providing you with access to the information that you would normally have received in the newsletter.

But first, we will focus on what we really like to do best, and that is our Laurel Oak racehorses.

Stallion Profile – Rebel Dane

Sentiment and luck played a large part in the Rebel Dane story, but once he got to the track, the horse did the rest. He proved one of our best sprinters for several seasons and now there’s every reason to believe he will make a success of his new career at stud.

Bluebloods’ David Bay takes a look at Rebel Dane in his July Stallion Profile. Click the below image to view the complete article.

Back to back wins for Vaucluse Bay

Vaucluse Bay (Al Maher) added a second victory on the day for Waller when he impressively took out a Benchmark 85 (2000m) at Rosehill.

The rising four-year-old gelding came into the race having won a Benchmark 74 (1800m) at the track on 15 July and yesterday he defeated More Than Fabulous (More Than Ready) by four lengths with just a short head back to Life O’Brien (High Chaparral) in third.

“He’s come of age this preparation. Today was by far his most impressive win,” Waller said.

“It was a typical Corey Brown ride, 10 out of 10. He found the right spot and makes it a lot easier for horses. He should win another race based on that pretty quick. We’ll look for a race in two weeks. If not, we’ll go three weeks.”

Bred by the Laurel Oak Power Of Love Syndicate, we would like to congratulate the winning connections of Vaucluse Bay; Mr S P Grant, Laurel Oak Bloodstock Pty Ltd, Mrs E K Grant, Mr K Grant, Mr G J Grant, Mr M Lamens, Mrs J A Gazal, Ms L A Green, Mrs L T Malouf, Mrs S Bishop, Mrs M L Bekier, Mrs L Lamens, Mrs H A Szangolies, Mrs A J Cobcroft, Mrs E C Walker, Mr D J Gazal
