The Big Goodbye
The Big Goodbye is the first ready to race horse for Queensland and is being trained by Robert Heathcote. The Big Goodbye he has had 10 starts for 3 wins and 6 placings in his racing career so far, winning just over $94,000 to date. He was on our ready to run list because he has been showing improving sprinting sectionals, something the Form Team have been watching closely. The Big Goodbye is sired by Host, the Sire of a well known sprinter currently wowing crowds, Eduardo. With 2 wins already to his name in South Australia, the Rogues are excited to have this guy on their team!
I Am Invincible x Unequivocal
I Am Invincible was an exceptional sprinter, having five wins at 1000 & 1100 metres and winning $270,050 in prizemoney. These included the Group III SAJC DC McKay Stakes, Listed MRC Sir John Monash Stakes and second to Takeover Target in the Group I SAJC Goodwood Handicap.
There is no denying that I Am Invincible is most notable for his success as a stallion, having sired more than 60 individual stakes winners. His progeny include the likes of Viddora, Loving Gaby, Brazen Beau and Voodoo Lad, all winners of numerous Gr. 1 races. He stands for a whopping service fee of $209,000, the most expensive stallion in Australia. The QLD Rogues will have a lot of fun with this impressively bred filly.
Flying Artie x Laylia
By sire Flying Artie – Australia’s highest rated 3YO sprinter in 2016/17. An Exceptional Juvenile, Flying Artie won the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude defeating Star Turn, ran a tremendous Blue Diamond running 2nd to Extreme Choice, and ran 3rd in the G1 Golden Slipper. He won the Group 1 Stallion-Making Coolmore Stakes defeating the likes of Extreme Choice, Astern, Star Turn, and Russian Revolution.
He is the sire of Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes Winner Artorius, and is already the sire of 5 Australian Fire Crop Winners to Date.
Helluva Barty (Hellbent x Queen Of Kandy)
Sire Hellbent had four starts in Gr1’s never worse than fourth, and his form was impeccable in every G1 he contested. He was a winner of 7 races and won more than $900,000 in prizemoney, including the 2018 G1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) in near record time; second in the 2017 G1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) and third in the G1 Oakleigh Plate to Russian Revolution.
In-bred 3×3 to Green Desert, Hellbent is I Am Invincible’s fourth G1 winner and 29th Stakes winner and is out of Volksraad mare Volkaspray who is from the family of 1963 Golden Slipper winner Pago Pago. We can’t wait to see what this colt can do on the track.
Greylander (Fastnet Rock x Alice Island)
Everyone has always wanted to own a superbly bred Grey. This beauty of a Colt was one of the most talked about Yearlings leading into the draft, and the QLD Rogues were thrilled to secure him on their team. His sire Fastnet Rock was a 2 x Gr.1, Gr.2 and Gr.3 winner as a 3YO, and has now sired over 40 individual Group 1 winners.
A legend both on and off the track, Fastnet Rock continues to impress all in the industry with the types he produces, and this grey looks a champion in the making.
QLD ROGUES TRAINERS
The Lady of Racing, Gai Waterhouse, leads the QLD Rogues with Adrian Bott and is accompanied by leading trainers the Freedman Brothers, Joe Pride, Mark Newnham, Kim Waugh and Brett Cavanough. Imagine having all those trainers as your trainers!
Chris Anderson
Chris Anderson wasn’t born into the racing game but he has certainly made up for the lost time. A one time successful publican & executive in the liquor game, he cast that career aside to follow his passion.
Chris’s bold move to try his hand at training, again showed his tenacity, and dedication. His late entrance into the training industry, has given him the advantage of having no preconceived ideas, or outdated family habits to shake, allowing him to focus on developing more modern, and effective training techniques.
Chris Munce
There was hardly a major race Chris Munce didn’t win as a jockey. Boasting a long list of honours, Chris’ main achievements included an overall of 42 Group 1 wins culminating in the ‘Big Four’ – Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, Golden Slipper and Caulfield Cup.
As a trainer, Chris is now developing his Eagle Farm based stable with quality youngsters and he has already tasted feature-race success with the likes of Boomsara ($2M Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Winner) and Ours To Keep (first Group winner), as well as having had three starters in the $2M Magic Millions 2YO Classic.
Michael Costa
Michael Costa Racing, based out of the Gold Coast, is fast becoming famous for its innovative training methods, dedication to horse welfare and its fresh and dynamic emphasis on the client experience.
Since Michael relocated the Michael Costa Racing stable from Sydney to the Gold Coast in 2016, he has established one of the leading stables in Queensland from only a boutique sized team of horses. In the 2019/2020 season, Michael Costa Racing was crowned in the top 5 winning strike rates in the country and we are on target to break our winning record for the next racing season.
Robert Heathcote
As a young man Rob travelled the world in the tourism industry, then he conquered the world with his all star sprinter Buffering beating the best in Dubai. There’s been the multiple Brisbane and Queensland training premierships, over a thousand winners, and the Group 1 glories.
Rob believes that owners are the most important people in racing, some he has had from the first year he started training, which is a true testament to his great communication and his very approachable personality that makes owners feel like part of the ‘racing family’.
Toby & Trent Edmonds
Toby Edmonds relocated from Warwick Farm to the Gold Coast not for the sun or the surf, but for an opportunity, setting up his own stable in 2011 and he has never looked back. There’s been Magic Millions success with Houtzen, and now the entire family are entrenched at the state of the art stable with an official training partnership between Toby and son Trent.
The stable consistently has winning strikeouts which are industry leading and in season 2018 Toby trained 106.5 winners at a strike rate of 21.7% which placed the stable in the top 3 Nationally in terms of winning strike rate. This cemented him as not only one of Queensland’s, but one of Australia’s leading thoroughbred trainers.
Tony Gollan
Champion trainer Tony Gollan was more than a promising rugby league player. He represented Queensland in the Under 19s and had aspirations of being a Brisbane Bronco. However it was his undying love of the horse that saw him take up horse training full time.
Tony Gollan has achieved the feat of winning the Metropolitan Queensland Trainers’ Premiership for 5 seasons in a row and currently holds the record of Metro wins breaking his own record in the 2017/18 season previously set in 2015/16. He has numerous Group 1 wins to his name and continues to dominate the ranks in QLD.
