Amberino's Group 2 Success in Sydney

Amberino landed the Group 2 Emancipation Stakes at Randwick after a brilliant Damian Oliver ride saw the mare come from last to first.

The excitement of the owners and their trainer lasted well into the night in what was a great celebration for all concerned.

Well done to our staff and all concerned with this huge performance, which included the mare racing in Adelaide some 7 days prior.

Flying Ruby's Flying Finish Brings Black Type

A Last to First Dash by the Shannon's wonderful mare Flying Ruby saw her achieve Black Type success in the Listed Bow Mistress Plate at Elwick this afternoon.

Not in the 'Call' on the home turn it only took a few bounds in the straight for all eyes to zoom in on the 'flashy' GREEN JACKET and WHITE CAP colours come steaming down the centre of the track with Peter Mertens sitting as quiet as a mouse.

Well done to all concerned and to John & Paul Shannon who thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Tasmania.

Flemington Spring Carnival Success for Moloney Racing

A fabulous performance by Flying Ruby and Peter Mertens saw success for the first time at the VRC Spring Carnival for our terrific owners John & Paul Shannon and our trainer John Moloney.

Last into the straight at Flemington in a big field of 15 only added to the excitement of the mighty mare flashing down the centre of one of  the most famous home straights in racing.

Well done to our staff in producing this tremendous effort.
