Steady day wih Perth good to us again
27 Feb 2013
Doomben has been abandoned due to non stop rain and an unusable track. Port Lincoln is a no go zone so the early ratings are up for Ascot,Canterbury and Sandown Lakeside. Good luck 24 Feb 2013
A great days racing and a very good result with 12 big winners and 16 trifectas. Sensational performance by Miracles of Life made the dream come true for all South Australians. Exhilirating ride, Lauren you are a star. Tough day for Jimmy Taylor and Barakey, there is nothing worse than travelling from WA with high expectations only to see your horse get scratched at the barrier. Interesting stewards inquiry with Adam Durrante and Mr Moet to pan out over the next week. He is only using Chinese medecine because it's Chinese new year isn't he? Hope you got amongst the winners.

What a great days racing with the Blue Diamond at Caulfield heading the card. A couple of Perth horses step out at Caulfield and although Mr Moet's form reads well I have some concerns at his second up form where from 5 attempts he has only managed a place. Maybe his race will be at his next start although I do expect him to run second today. The other concern for me is that stepping up from 1400 to 1700 is not easy. Barakey should also do very well and I expect he will get the run of the race and is right up to this field. A very good judge rates the field in this years Oakleigh Plate as at the best a G2 race and if thats the case Barakey is a stand out and you know the Victorian books will let you get on if you fancy him. If Jim Taylor is right and the horse is an equal to Hay List it makes it a certainty. Keep your cool Jason and you will get the cash.The lightly weighted Shamal Wind is the only danger. The Blue Diamond for me is another stand out in Miracles of Life but there will be plenty of pressure put on the jockey in this race from barrier 1. Take a first four 8/9/10/11 boxed. Best of the day Barakey Miracles of Life My other specials include Fiveandahalfstar and All to Hard but they will be short so take an all up. Best roughie today is PR8/2 Rons Gem at 100/1
23 Feb 2013
Early Specials are- MR 4/1 Fiveandahalfstar MR 6/10 All too Hard AR 4/1 La Moullin Rouge 21 Feb 2013
Steady day for winners but an amazing day for trifecta's at 50%. Race 3 at Doomben at $716 and Wyong race 6 at $579 were the best of them. The Tri's have been running hot fo some time.
21 Feb 2013
Best for the day is an each way value bet MR 7/10 Yahilu Best Bet is SR 4/3 Prince Rahy 18 Feb 2013
Very average day although trifectas and first fours were OK. Sadly our specials let us down. Hope you survived.
17 Feb 2013
Looking forward to Black Caviars returns in Melbourne. Nice to see some of the good horses returning in a big days racing. Top fields in Perth , Sydney and Mebourne. Lets hope our form from Wednesday continues today. Best of the day PR 2/4 Roman Knows PR 5/10 Passion Catata SR 2/2 Red Tracer For the ladies 2 each way bets PR 8/11 Sax on the Beach BR 3/7 Vintage Flint
14 Feb 2013
Wouldn't mind a result like this every week. Huge day all round, top raters, Trifectas, First Fours, and 2 specials for 2 winners and both won like good things. Hope you cleaned up

update from the stable on todays each way chance HORSE REPORT: Namsarai Good Afternoon,
Namsarai is running tomorrow at Canterbury in Race 5 @ 3.40pm. He does appear a little big in condition still but with the rain around this will certainly help his chances. He has drawn awkwardly in barrier 9 with Christian Reith aboard and providing there is good pace up front he will be ridden back in the field from the alley. I rate him a genuine each way chance tomorrow with improvement to come off the run.
Kind Regards Lees Racing
14 Feb 2013
Tough at Mornington and Slow 7 at Canterbury Only 2 specials today SR3/1 Hippopus MR 6/9 Twilight Royale 11 Feb 2013
Pretty good day and weekend. Started horribly on Saturday but what an amazing transformation half way through the card where we found 7 winners from 8 successive races. Bonanza!

ROB'S SHOUT - I WAS REALLY CHUFFED WHEN TWO OF MY STABLE FAVOURITES SALUTED LAST SATURDAYBy Robert Heathcote | Thursday, February 7, 2013
Robert Heathcote is the leading racehorse trainer in Brisbane. 'Rob's Shout' - the personal blog of the multi-premiership and Group 1 winning trainer will appear every Thursday on HRO. 10 Feb 2013

Tidy Friday night for us wirh 5 winners and plenty of placings on what are notoriously tough nights. Trifectas were over 50% and a couple of nice first fours to top the night off.
07 Feb 2013
Canterbury and Moonee Valley friday night meetings now posted on our site 07 Feb 2013
07 Feb 2013
Hard work but managed 8 on the day. The standard of racing at the moment is pretty ordinary but with Melbourne firing up this Saturday the good horses return and we wind up for a big February March.
07 Feb 2013
Specials few and far between but we will go with the best BR6/2 Vacallo and the best each way PR5/5 Its a Merc 04 Feb 2013
Disappointing day with only 7 winners and 1 of our 3 specials saluting. Trifectas and first fours were excellent but we needed more of those winners. The each way bets for the ladies were OK with Barnsley Lad backed from 18/1 to 10/1 giving us a nice result.
03 Feb 2013
Looking forward to a great days racing but heavy and slow tracks in Sydney and Brisbane have dissapated the fields up there. Specials today and keeping them to a minimum based on recent results are- SR 7/1 She's Clean MR 2/10 Metastasion MR 5/6 Elusive King
03 Feb 2013
Today looks like a very nice day for each way value so as promised we have been looking for some chances that can give you a run for your money at each way odds. Sydney R1/8 Vergara Anthony Cummings has a 50% share in this 2 yo Filly which was going to be syndicated but he has decided to keep his share and the horse is heading for the Golden Slipper. If Anthony thinks it is up to Slipper class it must rate as a good each way chance. R6/12 Angola. In a good field but up from Melbourne after winning a Ballarat maiden. What is he doing here if he is not a chance.
Perth R1/5 Put Up Your Dukes This is the first horse raced by the boys at Rand Transport all of them new owners bar a couple of victims and a few mates so it is an exciting day for us. The big fella is an outstanding individual by Duke of Marmalade who has had two very quiet trials, has worked well, is fit and looks a picture. He is still green as grass and has a terrible barrier but ridden like a good horse I think he can run home into a place at very nice odds. 1 win 3 places ratio for me. He will need luck in running from barrier 9. R2/7 Swap Ya. Second to Grey Cheval and only a couple of lengths behind beating the rest of the field easily. R3/4 Helda the Painter. Impressive winner last star although up in grade has a chance R4/9 Timely Reign. Pretty open race this and this horse did run 3rd to Waterman Bay beaten 2.3l which is excellent form leading into this. Over the odds at $21 R5/8 Barnsley Lad. In good form and the winner Classique Ivory took his running last start. R7/13 Mickey Drippin. This is the most interesting named horse in racing. Another one caught wide last start but kept finding the line. R/7 Fort Courage 2.9L behind Belltane after sitting 3 wide in the run and kept finding the line

Good evening to you all once again. Well deja `vu once again with the likelihood of a rain affected track for the races tomorrow. The mail from Bill Shuck is if we get no further rain overnight, there is a strong likelihood we can get back onto a dead 5 track. Maybe even with some more sunshine we can be very optimistic and hope for a dead 4 track. My stables chances do hinge on the improvement of the track. Very much so …fingers crossed no more bloody rain!
Show Affection is a lovely Show A Heart mare who’s racing in great form. She did win on a slow track but the rider did say that day that only her class got her home and she wasn’t comfortable on the shifty track? She will be the likely favourite so a word of caution. I do think she is the best horse in the race and her good 2ndat the Magic Millions where she went down a nose is good enough to win this. The tracks the concern for me though! Coworth Park in the 3rdhas only had the 3 starts so it’s a huge step in class and grade for him. I loved the courage he showed at his last run and a repeat of that run will see him competitive I think. Not sure about the track for him but the mile should not pose any issues for him. He will be about 10 to 1 against the 2 fancies in Congo and Accidental. Not bad value if he copes with the conditions as I am happy with his work! His class may be a query also ? Gundy Son in the 6this far from his best on a wet track. The drier for him the better his chances! He has shown positive signs of returning to his best form with an excellent 2ndat the Magic Millions also. He is a chance at about 5 or 6 bucks…. Funtantes in the fillies and mares feature race is always a chance as she invariably tries her heart out. She is again conceding plenty of weight to her rivals but she has the class. I have freshened her up as she goes best fresh. If Brownie can rate her well, she can give the race a decent shake. Currently $4.20 in the early markets isn’t bad value I reckon. Again, the track dries out and if she can step away well from the gates and get into her rhythm early, she can figure in the finish. Smasher and Gotitallwrong line up in the 3 year old race number 9. It’s a tough open race with a host of chances as seen by the early market. Gotitallwrong has drawn the ace in barrier 1 so she should get a lovely run. She needs to race up to her best and she can certainly figure in the finish. Maybe the fence could be too hopped up at this stage of the day which is a worry. Smasher is a real talent in the making but the outside gate could put paid to his chances. He will need a pearler from Michael Cahill and a lot of luck to get a good run. I do think he has the class to win but boy it is a big ask. Not sure about Smasher on a wettish track but Gotitallwrong has won on a slow track…. Gee, touch to label one of mine as a standout but I’d have to say Show Affection closely followed by Funtantes as the stables best 2 chances on the day but remember, if the showers come overnight, we might be up the creek without a paddle. I have just come back from New Zealand where I picked up 3 yearlings. Two Darci Brahma colts and a Keeper colt. There are shares available to join me in racing these youngsters. You never know but they could be the future stars of the turf and there’s simply nothing like owning a piece of a winner eh and they are very affordable. You can take a small 5% share or get with a group and take a 10 or a 20 % share. I am confident in my selections that I will be staying in for a minimum of a 20/30 % share as well. It will be first in first served so get in touch with me asap to become a partner in any of them. You can view the details on the following link……

Best of luck over the weekend and of course…good health. Cheers. Robert
