Had a tour yesterday of Finniss Lodge, the home of Wayne Francis and Glen Kents operation and i must say it is absolutely unbelievable. It was so apparent the genuine focus and care for the horses wellbeing and the commitment to the horse always comes first (pardon the pun) was unbelievable.

You can actually see on the website a fly over of the property, but that simply doesn't do it justice, amazing venue.

Sooo much so, i left with another 20% of a horse
Looks a likely type, 2 YO filly by Sire Headwater, big strong horse, Yet to be named.

Stable has one running Saturday over 1350m that they are very confident on.

Thanks for sharing Carey. Keep us updated.

Our nag has the same Sire. It's not run a bad race to date (touches wood).

Thoughts and best wishes are with Chelsey her family and the entire crew at the lodge.

A number of Australia’s largest owners were in mourning on Monday following confirmation that champion mare Verry Elleegant had passed away when foaling in France.

Verry Elleegant had been in Europe for about 18 months after travelling to France to be trained by Francis-Henri Graffard. After four winless runs, she was retired from racing with connections selecting the superstar stallion Sea The Stars as her first suitor.

She has been due to foal in the first week of February.

Verry Elleegant won 16 races, with 11 of them at group 1 level for earnings of nearly $15 million.

She won the 2020 Caulfield Cup and the 2021 Melbourne Cup and was named the Australasian racehorse of the year for 2020/21.

A 50 per cent share of Verry Elleegant was purchased in 2018 by a group of Australian owners that included Ozzie Kheir and Brae Sokolski.

She was initially trained in Australia by Darren Weir for her first campaign with the mare being sent to Chris Waller following Weir's disqualification in early 2019.

"It is incredibly sad that we pass on the news on behalf of the ownership group that Verry Elleegant has passed away due to complications giving birth to her foal," Waller said in a statement.

"The news is just filtering through to stable staff now and other close connections who are coming to terms with the tragic news. She was in fantastic hands on a farm who did all they could for her, and we would like to thank them for their efforts which we will be forever grateful for.

"We all saw the courage she had on the racetrack over many seasons, and she will never be forgotten by those close to her as well as the wider racing public who follower her careered and loved her so much."

To add to the sad morning for Aus racing, 2022 SA Derby winner Jungle Magnate (Known as Beautyverse now) died after an injury at Sha Tin last night
