Bendigo-based trainer Neville Kennedy has had a good run of success with his January gavelhouse.com Australia purchase This Horse Here, with five times her purchase price returned from her first three runs.
The mare had placed twice for former trainer Mark Kavanagh however hadn’t performed up to the city class expectations of her owners and was offered for unreserved sale on gavelhouse.com, eventually fetching $2,900.
Now racing in easier company, the daughter of Globetrotter placed first up for Kennedy at Bendigo before running fourth. In her next start she broke maiden ranks at Ararat to bring home a $13,000 cheque and take her total earnings since her purchase to $15,500.
Former trainer Mark Kavanagh is pleased to see the mare has gone on to be successful for her new owner “Not all horses end up justifying their space in a city stable and gavelhouse.com has given us an avenue to move these horses on relatively quickly.”
“It’s pleasing to see the horses go on and reach their marks in easier environments with their new owners able to get a decent return on their purchases.”
