Things Heating Up At White Robe Lodge - Alflaila Is Almost Here

It was a fresh start here at White Robe Lodge this morning, but things are soon to hot up thanks to the impending arrival of our new stallion Alflaila, who is now only days away from arriving in New Zealand.
We couldn’t be more pleased to be offering a son of Dark Angel to New Zealand breeders and the decision to actively chase this sire-line is looking to be vindicated as each week rolls by.
On Saturday we saw War Machine, a New Zealand bred son of Harry Angel (by Dark Angel) take out the Gr.1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) in emphatic fashion.

Campaldino Delivers A Dominant Performance To Win The Brisbane Cup - Credit To LOVERACING.NZ

The Gr.1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) looms as a possible spring target for New Zealand-bred stayer Campaldino, who continued his rapid rise with another outstanding win in the A$400,000 Gr.2 XXXX Brisbane Cup (3200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Within the space of nine weeks, the Ghibellines gelding has strung together four increasingly impressive victories. He kicked off with wins in the Orange Cup (2100m) and a Benchmark 78 handicap on Randwick’s Kensington track, prompting trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott to take him to Brisbane and raise the bar to black-type level.

Campaldino Hits New Heights In Queen Elizabeth II Cup - Credit To LOVERACING.NZ

Promising New Zealand-bred stayer Campaldino passed his biggest test with flying colours at Eagle Farm on Saturday, stepping up to stakes company and adding the A$200,000 Gr.3 Living Turf Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) to his winning sequence.
The lightly raced four-year-old gelding headed to Brisbane as the winner of his last two starts, having taken out the Orange Cup (2100m) on April 11 and a Benchmark 78 over 2400m on Randwick’s Kensington track two weeks later. Those performances made enough of an impression for Campaldino to start as a respected $7.50 chance against a much higher grade of opposition on Saturday, and he rose to the occasion in style.

Smokin’ Romans Prevails In The Listed Warrnambool Cup

WRL bred Smokin’ Romans added yesterdays Listed Warrnambool Cup to his already impressive resume and took his Stake earnings to over 2.3 million AUD. Jockey Ben Melham rated the rising 8 year old beautifully in the lead and Smokin’ Romans carrying top weight of 59kg dug deep when he asked him too.
