Horses Living the Dream Gai’S New Racing Club for Everyone 3RD EDITION / OCT-NOV 2013 GAI'S GAZETTE HORSES LIVING THE DREAM GAI’S NEW RACING CLUB FOR EVERYONE THE WATERED TRACK DEBATE AN INTERVIEW WITH MONTY ROBERTS Proudly Sponsored by Magic Millions WIDDEN STUD Valley of Champions he relationship between Widden Stud and Gai Waterhouse is a very long and successful one that is showing no signs of abating. Widden Stud is simply one of the most picturesque stud farms in the world with rolling hills, spacious paddocks, the magnificent crystal clear Widden Creek and iconic Aussie bush surroundings. These 8,000 acres are an absolute haven for young horses which are growing, maturing and developing in strength. TCurrent Widden stallions Dreamscape and Sebring were both trained by Gai Waterhouse and both are now booming successes at stud at Widden. www.gaiwaterhouse.com.au 3 GAI'S EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Lea Stracey EDITOR Madison Whant GAZETTE PRODUCTION MANAGER Ric Chapman hat do you say when your best friend says to you “I’ve got [email protected] this terrific idea for a monthly magazine and I want you to be JOURNALISTS Wthe editor?” Zeb Armstrong Well, when that friend is Gai Waterhouse you say “Yes!”. So, here we are David Bay into edition number three and I’m writing my first Editor’s letter. If your Grant Vandenberg Rob Waterhouse comments after reading the first two editions of Gai’s Gazette are any Madison Whant indication, we have kicked off with a bang! A big thank you for that – we love your feedback – especially when it has been so positive about our GRAPHIC DESIGN & lAYOUT content. Madison Whant What’s it like working on a magazine you might ask, and a monthly CHIEF photographer one at that? It’s about teamwork, time management, aeroplane flights, Bradley Photographers conferences in coffee shops, emails, photographs, many phone calls and text messages and lots of proofreading (not to mention the odd late night MAJOR SPONSORS before going to print!) It’s been a fabulous funfilled, fast paced time (is it Emirates Park Stud ever anything else with our Gai?), and it’s only just begun….. Magic Millions Widden Stud Sydney’s Spring Carnival is here and it brings as a teaser, the cliffhang- Living The Dream ing excitement of next year’s two-year-old sprinters. Recently I witnessed some of Gai’s potential stars winning at the two year old trials. It’s so MAJOR CONTRIButorS satisfying to see the positive results of the Waterhouse team’s work in Zeb Armstrong the yearling selections. But more importantly, for the moment at least, Tom Simpson our racing enthusiasm turns to the stayers and the Holy Grails of Racing Need for Steed Aus Mark Gatt in Melbourne – the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup. As you will read inside our Gazette, the Gai Waterhouse teams, both human ADVertiSING MANAGER and horse, are “all systems go”. Fiorente has recently won the Group Adrian Bott Two Dato Chin Nam Stakes in blistering style and the Group Ones in Melbourne, of which there are many for the taking, await him and the PRINTERS other champions of the Waterhouse team. So, dear readers, buckle up Graphic Impressions and enjoy the ride with us and always remember “what a difference a Gai makes!” Happy Racing.
