Summer Racing 22/23
Welcome to our first JKB Racing update for 2023.
It’s been a mammoth few months for our team with some really pleasing results, big wins, the return of night racing and some exciting behind-the-scenes action at the stable. We’ve loved sharing plenty of successes with all of our connections and are incredibly proud of how many of our horses have been handling themselves on the track and in their training.
Race Results.
It’s been incredibly rewarding for our team to share in some fantastic results over the past few months from the south to the north west to our home turf in Longford. Here are just a few of our favourites - keep an eye out for those who also received the Tasbred Owners $16k bonus which is worth noting with the Tasmanian yearling sales just around the corner.
Special mentions go to WARICA who notched up 4 wins in a row at the end of 2022 which included his first win securing a $16k TasBred Owners bonus and a maiden win for our stable apprentice Brooke who put in a perfect, textbook ride.
SWOOP DOG also had a stellar season taking out both the Longford Cup, Brighton Cup AND the Summer Cup in Hobart.
Hobart - 30th December
A treble for the stable was a great way to say goodbye to 2022 with winning runs by MAGIC TYPHOON (Ismail Toker), CLOUDY NIGHTS (Troy Baker) and ZEWINNA (Siggy Carr).
Longford Cup - 1st & 3rd
Always a soft spot for us, we were thrilled to take out the Cressy Chaff Cutters Longford Cup for the fourth year in a row with SWOOP DOG ridden by Siggy Carr. SUPER SWOOP also snuck into the top 3, finishing a close 3rd.
Brighton Cup - 1st
A super effort by both our team and jockey Chelsea Baker who led GLASS WARRIOR to victory in the Brighton Cup.
Devonport Cup - 1st
SWOOP DOG continued his winning streak taking out the Devonport Cup, again ridden to perfection by Siggy Carr.
Summer Cup - 1st
Yep, he and jockey Siggy Carr did it again with SWOOP DOG completing a strong run to the line in the Summer Cup rounding out 3 huge wins in as many weeks.

Welome Jacko!
Our team are excited to introduce our latest apprentice jockey, Jackson Radley. Jackson recently completed his Certificate III in Racing while working with us as a trackwork rider and rode his first set of trials at Longford in November. We’re super proud of how far Jacko has come in such a short time and are looking forward to supporting and seeing him progress through his training to race riding!
