Its Serious. (060905)Races at Warracknabeal and has since been retired to stud.
Tee Gee Pea
Finishes third in the C.R.O.C., not a bad effort considering that he is still a maiden after 23 starts. As a two year he suffered a cannon bone fracture that was repaired by Jim Vasey and team at the Goulburn Valley equine hospital at Shepparton. We are still trying for the win. Wedgie as he is known is lucky to stand 15hh, he never leaves a feed (except a bit on race nights). Otherwise he is always fresh, keen to work and wants to be the centre of attention.

Swan Hill Races -June Carnival
Tee Gee Pea :(Christine Puls) Jumped and sat just of the pace. Caught just before the line, finished third by 1 length. A gallant effort.. We got the trifecta
Its Serious. did'nt place but only five lengths from the winner. A gallant effort considering she has had to have twelve months off from racing.
Tee Gee Pea :(Les Beer) Jumped and sat just of the pace. Caught just before the line, finished second by 1 length. A gallant effort.
Tee Gee Pea :(Rhonda Ree's) Suffered a bout of colic and had to stand down from racing for four weeks. Thanks to Christine for driving across to trial him to give him a good hit out. He jumped early and ran home finishing a gallant fourth. Still learning all the time. Ridden beautifully by Rhonda Ree's.
Beadbush Blue :(Rhonda Ree's) Wins by 4 lengths and Tee Gee Pea runs a gallant third (top effort)2nd start back from a spell.
The trip was extremely relaxing for the crew that escorted the five runners (3 our own and two of Gavin Murphy's). The trip home was another matter, at least we had a winner. The truck broke down just out of Wentworth. John Castlemain took horse to his home for us. We borrowed a car to get the horses home and it got hot, and then Con Kelly came across up stranded and at least got the horses home. A nice policeman picked us up after the RACV took the car. On the way to Swan Hill a truck went pass and you guessed it, the police car got a chip in its window. So far for the rest of the week nothing has happened so we hope the JINX has lifted.
Thank you to all the people who assisted us.
