Thirteenth
Living Foal of
Bundle
of Thanks
(County / Fine Gem)
Bundle
of Thanks
by County, was the winner
of the AJC Widden Stakes
for 2YO's and is a half sister to Group
3 winner Darbaas
and Group placed Diamond Jake.
Bundle
of Thanks
only had a very short but successful race career before
heading to the breeding barn where she currently has
the great record of 9 named foals to race for 8 winners
including, Thanks a Bundle
winner of 4 races including 2 wins at 2 and producer
of stakes winner Bundle O'Gold.
Bundle of Thanks has also
produced the good 2YO winner Harsh
Praise.
With
plenty of speed and precocity from both Rock
of Gibraltar and the County mare Bundle
of Thanks, its hard not to see this stunning
colt get up and run early. He is a reasonably early
foal and we will be targeting all the early 2YO races!

To
be trained by young up and coming trainer Marc
Conners
at Warwick Farm.
Marc
is a Group One winning trainer who began his career working
for his father, Clarry Conners (four times winning trainer
of the Golden Slipper). Marc received a thorough grounding
under the tutelage of Clarry and grandfather, Clarry Snr,
in turning out racehorses that have every chance of winning.
Marc also spent time working at leading stables in England
and the USA before taking out his licence as a trainer.
Marc trained his first metropolitan winner, Stellarwood,
at Warwick Farm on December 6, 1994. With only a small
stable, Marc has made a remarkable start to his career
by training the mare Camino Rose to win the Group One
Coolmore Classic at Rosehill Gardens, Crown Princess to
win the Group Three MRC Thoroughbred Club Stakes, Western
Beau the Heritage Stakes at Rosehill, Mr Martini the Group
Three Kingston Town Stakes at Rosehill and My Middi the
Listed Jayco Cup at Caulfield. He has also trained the
sprinter Nan Tien to win two Listed Races and the mare
Aphasia to win the Listed Wyong Cup in 1997.
You, too, could own a horse trained by Marc at the No
1 training area in Sydney - the quiet surrounds at Warwick
Farm racecourse approximately 30 km from the centre of
Sydney. Marc's stables are modern and roomy and can hold
26 horses in boxes and yards. A modern walking machine
also helps to ensure that your horses are stabled and
exercised in one of the best facilities in Sydney.
Marc,
and his youthful team of staff, encourage you to join
him, whether to race your own horse or by becoming part
of the racing action by taking a share in a horse. Why
not contact Marc by phone or email. He is always willing
to talk to you.
