Since being launched 12 months ago, Princess Park has been proud to service the early education and pre-training needs of new horse training business Malua Racing.

Malua Racing is the exciting new training partnership between experienced Group 1 winning trainers Troy Corstens and John Sadler.

Associated for many years through Sadler's friendship with Troy's father Leon, Malua Racing aims to excel both on and off the track using the owner communication and buying expertise of Corstens as well as the expert horsemanship of astute trainer Sadler.

Corstens has been responsible for the purchase and sale many stars of the turf including International Champion Sprinter Starspangledbanner, as well as Group 1 winner Helenus and more recently VRC Oaks winning filly Mosheen.

“He was set to run in the 1400 metre race on Derby Day but unfortunately picked up a slight injury which although wasn’t bad enough to go to the paddock, meant he missed the spring."

Lookater who is raced and bred by Jason Bachelor was sent to Princess Park in July of last year for her breaking preparation. The filly that is only small in stature, progressed through her breaking preparation well, but it was always a concern that it may be tough for her to compete, being only slightly built. However, that doesn’t seems to have stopped her, as she had been impressive in her trials leading in to her first up run, in which she finished fourth at Echuca.

Long-time Princess Park clients, Network Bloodstock look as though they’ve found a high class horse in Zamorar.

The winner of two of his first three starts, the son of Scandal Keeper marked himself as a horse of the highest calibre when he a ran a brave fourth to the champion colt Sepoy, in the Gr. 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes during the Flemington Spring Carnival.

Trained by the astute David “Butch” Borne, Zamorar was thrown in the deep end in the Coolmore, as the race was one of the toughest events of the 2011 Spring Carnival.

The Princess Park educated filly, Members Joy displayed plenty of potential this week, when she took out a heat of the Cranbourne Trials. The Robert Smerdon trained filly looked to be well above average, when she blitzed her rivals by 2.5 lengths in a time of 47.81.

Members Joy was sent to Princess Park in June for her breaking-in preparation, by Adam Sangster’s Swettenham Stud. The filly displayed plenty of natural ability during her time at Princess Park, so it was not surprising to see her display so much precocity in her trial win.

Mr Griswold showed his trademark grit to fend off a strong challenge by the Group One placed Pinnacles, to win by the shortest possible margin.

The victory must surely rate as the best of his six victories from only fourteen starts to date, as he drew wide in barrier 12 and had to be used up early to cross and sit on a solid tempo throughout the early stages of the race.

Mr Griswold posted his second city win at Caulfield yesterday and in doing so took his career earnings past $180,000. Dropping back to 1400 metres, Clark was given a lovely run throughout by apprentice Damian Lane.  Settling in around 8th position he settled nicely off the back of a strong pace in front set by Mr Make Believe and Jungle Ruler.

In a very patient ride Lane eased off the heals of Pinnacles at the 150 metre mark and went for home. Clark put the ears back and racing between horses managed to put his head in front just at the right time.
