Horses to follow out of the mounting yard at Flemington.

Follow: we'd be keen to follow next start in an ideal race.
Watch: inconclusive. Keen to see parade next start before forming an opinion.
Wait: might need another run, but one we have earmarked for this preparation.

Follow: we'd be keen to follow next start in an ideal race. R7 Miss Aria is our horse to follow!

Want to know how we operate? We've tried out best to document the parade from the G3 Bletchingley Stakes at Caulfield, and how we continue to monitor the runners throughout. Can be a hectic time, so we do the hard work for you!

Fascinating market watch with Pride Of Jenni in the G2 Peter Young Stakes at Caulfield.

First-up last prep in the Memsie we rated her fitness as below the standard of the field, and she was disappointing finishing 5th beaten 5.7L.

What parade will we get from a horse who has never won first-up?

A perennial FTY favourite, Mr Brightside cools down after the All-Star Mile. In our view, he still has improvement to come, indicative of the Hong Kong Champions Mile being his grand final

Still carrying some condition, clearly the camp has Hong Kong firmly in their sights for Mr Brightside

Mr Brightside also 'jarred-up', feeling the effects of a firm Flemington track which resulted in a bruised heel

Mr Brightside, cools down after the All-Star Mile

Exuberance returns to racing at Sandown Park, 19 February, 2025.

Still keen in her parade, she will be a runner to note pre-race in her next assignment.

Switzerland, Traffic Warden and Growing Empire were the headline acts that failed to fire, but there was more to their story then what happened on the track.

Mr Brightside goes for a walk prior to his return in the G1 C.F. Orr Stakes at Caulfield.

One of the textbook paraders in Australia, this was no exception, albeit he will improve plenty second-up and further in to this preparation.

Grid Girl parades at Sandown Park prior to R5. Will certainly improve in condition off this performance

A pre-Autumn meeting at Sandown this Saturday, but we'll get another crack at the 2yos with the G3 Chairman's Stakes. Not sure the 1000m chute is a true indicator away from this circuit, but the parade will give us another insight in to the Victorian quality this season #type #scopey #precocious

From The Yard @fromtheyard.bsky.social · Jan 25

Worst case scenario there. Blend of the yard score and exchange price ended up with the winner a recommended lay. No negatives to note, just others stood out more. Suspect the 2yo races today at Lakeside won't translate particularly well back to Caulfield...

Sandown R4

2yo Blue Diamond Preview for the fillies. Couple of suggested plays on Palm Angel and Expulsion at odds. Always a joy to see the 2yos on debut and progress!

Wolfy a great result there, a small bet but a good collect. The lay bets didn't finish in the top 4. Nice to get another spread-bet home at #Flemington!

From The Yard @fromtheyard.bsky.social · Jan 18

Flemington R5

A few at odds suggested bets, with a few in the market being dodged off the parade. Fingers crossed!

With the MRC shifting the Heath meeting on Jan 22 to Mornington, we've deleted that from our schedule. Happy to see Sandown picking up the Blue Diamond Preview card on Jan 25, would love to see more features being held there
