Season Recap 2023/24
Michael Freedman Racing is proud to have ended its third season of racing with a great deal of success.
With just 55 horses in training at a time, the conclusion of the 2023/24 looked a little like this...
🔹
67 season winners & 73 place getters across 3 states
🔸 20.5% strike rate - No.1 in the top 20 NSW trainers for the season
🔹 20 metro winners at a strike rate of 14.7%
🔸 40 provincial winners at a strike rate of 25.5% - 2nd highest strike rate of any trainer
🔹 Over $5 million in prize money
🔸 10 stakes wins, including a Group
TWO YEAR OLDS
We had a total of 44 2YO’s on the books. 20 of which, made it to the races providing us with 12 victories and a winning strike rate of 55%. Our 2YO’s contributed to over $2.1 million of our total prize money for the season.
Our Star 2YO of the season was Emirates Park homebred filly, Manaal (Tassort x Red Lodge). Manaal had 6 starts for 3 wins in the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes, Group 2 Sweet Embrace & Group 1 Sires’ Produce.
THREE & FOUR YEAR OLDS
Our 3YO and 4YO’s produced 34 wins & 39 placings between them.
Included amongst the successes of our older horses, were the likes of Ducasse (Group 3 Carbine Club), Insurrection (Listed Canterbury Sprint), Moravia (Group 2 & 3 Placed), Mumbai Muse (Group 3 Red Roses Stakes), Panic (Listed South Pacific Classic), Waikato Girl (Listed Princess Stakes) & Wymark (Group 2 Tulloch Stakes).
Our most improved 3YO of the season was Wymark (Savabeel x Pasadena). The talented gelding shone throughout his last preparation, kicking off as a Maiden to progress all the way to a Group 2 winner following four back to back wins. Wymark accumulated over $350,000 in just 8 starts, and rewarded his owners and the team with a thrilling contribution to the Autumn Carnival.
The 2023/24 season also saw the end of the racing career of our beloved multiple Group winning mare, Queen Of The Ball, who was retired as a broodmare to Newgate Stud.
