It is with deep sadness that we share with you this morning that Zipping has passed away. Zip was an iron horse on the racetrack, a 4 x winner of the Sandown Classic and in recognition of this feat the race was renamed in his honour to The Zipping Classic.

It is with great sadness that we heard of the sudden passing of Paul Radford, breeder and principal owner of Apache Cat. Patch will attend Paul’s funeral on 12 April at 10:30am at Rosebud Funerals. Robyn has requested that donations to Living Legends be made in lieu of flowers.

As #LoveTheHorse month continues we had a fun filled @Lexus Australia #LegendsOnTheRoad trip to Apollo Bay with Cup winners @mj_payne and Efficient. A sneak peek of the People’s Cup ahead of the Tour’s visit there later in July.

Following our visit to @FlemingtonVRC yesterday our beloved Rogan Josh was laid to rest in our Memorial Garden. Josh’s long time paddock mate Apache Cat joined the ceremony which included stirring bagpipe renditions. A special and moving memorial, Josh is forever in our hearts.

We continue to celebrate #LoveTheHorse with Full Of Beauty arriving from HK, settling in as paddock mate with Beauty Generation. Happy horses running free, rolling in the mud and checking out our kangaroo neighbours, it was quite the welcome. Thank again to the Kwok family.

Apache Cat enjoyed a day with his mini look-alike Enzed and the #ThreeWideNoCover team. This Saturday, he's back at @CranTurfClub as a special guest for the #ApacheCat Classic and #CranbourneCup . Patch will be in his element, mingling, and making new friends!
