July Newsletter
We know we say it every month, but where did that last month go?
Here we are in August, with the new breeding season upon us. It won’t be long until the first foals start arriving here in Australia and we start collecting Stallions for the new breeding season and what an exciting one it’s going to be….
Cantfindabettorman!
During the Queensland Winter Carnival, Cantfindabettorman picked the Group 3 South East Derby beating some talented horses.
Since arriving in Australia, Cantfindabettorman has been ultra impressive for the stable. ‘PJ’ has had four starts for us for three wins and a second, a tough second at that in the Group One Queensland Derby behind Leap To Fame. We can’t thank his great group of owners for letting us be apart of the exciting horse!

The Cobbitty Equine Classic will be a two year old race series, with heats conducted on a Tuesday and then a $100,000 Colts & Geldings Final and a $100,000 Fillies Final to follow.
The Cobbitty Equine Classic is restricted to horses that are Sired by a Cobbitty Equine Farm Pacing Stallion. This includes all Mares served in Australia and New Zealand their foals will be eligible to compete in this two year old race series.
The eight Stallions include : Bling It On, Capt Midnight, For A Reason, Huntsville, Jilliby Kung Fu, King Of Swing, McWicked and Ultimate Machete.
We are very exciting to see some of the young talent produced in the coming years from our Stallions and what a better way to give back to the breeders, owners and trainers that support us with prizemoney being allocated to both the breeder and the owner.
With the great incentive of the new BREED NSW scheme and now the Cobbitty Equine Classic, it is a massive bonus to breed your mare to one of the eight Pacing Stallions standing at Cobbitty Equine Farm.
It also has the added incentive if you are breeding to sell in the current competitive yearling market, being eligible for an $100,000 race is only adding more value to your yearling.
There will be plenty more details to come, but it’s that easy! Serve your mare to one of the eight Cobbitty Equine Farm Pacing Stallions this season and their progeny will be eligible to enter the Cobbitty Equine Classic in 2026.

Proud is an understatement!
Luke’s brothers are taking the world by storm over in the Northern Hemisphere. Toddy won the world’s biggest harness race the $US1 million Hambletonian, at The Meadowlands on Cool Papa Bell. It came just two years after his older brother, Andy, won the famous race aboard Ramona Hill.
And Todd’s win continued a fairy tale year, having won Canada’s biggest race, the $CA1 million North American Cup on June 18 on Pebble Beach. Becoming the first driver since John Campbell to win both races in the same year in 1995.
What is most remarkable is the fact Todd only made the move from being Menangle’s leading driver to try his luck in North America less than two years ago.
STALLION WINNERS
Frisby’s Love A Reason!

Anthony Frisby taking honours training the first winner, the 5YO For A Reason gelding Holy Camp Dillon who recorded his 10th win at Bathurst with Phoebe Betts aboard winning by over 12 metres.
Anthony’s father Chris Frisby wasn’t going to be outshined while campaigning up in sunny Queensland with his For A Reason mare, Remember Eve winning later in the night at Redcliffe. Remember Eve smashed the field and won by over 21 metres, with Chloe Butler taking the reins. Since arriving in Queensland, the For A Reason mare has won 5 of her last 9 race starts.
