Australia’s only national thoroughbred re-homing TV program Thoroughbreds Are Go returns Monday night on Sky Thoroughbred Central.
With beautiful vision of thoroughbreds off the track and great advice for racing owners on finding the best homes for their ex-racehorses the series also features equestrian experts’ commentary on how to manage a thoroughbred in a new life. The show also promotes the great athletic ability and intelligence of the breed in a range of different pursuits.
The series’ return features accomplished show competitor Ali Kent and her husband, trainer Michael Kent Junior at Equimillion – featuring class winners Loco by So You Think and fittingly after Cosmic Crusader’s Cox Plate victory, a daughter of Japanese bred sire Maurice – Regalia, who raced as Aunt Bridge.
Peter Burke of Taghadoe Stud near Scone stayed in the ownership of the most expensive yearling he’d sold, the beautiful ATC Derby placegetter Glad You Think So and now the gelding has retired he’s promised to care for him for life.
Plus legendary breeding industry horsewoman Verna Metcalfe with one of Australia’s best known retired broodmares, Prophet Jewel, dam of two stallions, New Zealand champion sire Proisir and Caulfield Guineas winner Divine Prophet.
The show is supported by Inglis, Godolphin Lifetime Care, Frank and Christine Cook’s Mystery Downs Breeding and Racing and DGR Thoroughbred Services and can also be seen on the 7PLUS platform.
