excellent WEEKEND
RESULTS FOR REAVILL PROGENY -
20/08/07
Reavill Farm progeny enjoyed a great weekend of racing
when All Silent (Belong to Me (USA) x
Lisheenowen) made it two wins from as many starts
winning the Class Three event over 1400 metres at
Rosehill on Saturday.
Trained by Graeme Begg, the talented gelding, a
half-brother to champion mare Private Steer, powered
to the line from stone last, cruising to the lead to
win by a long neck in an eye-catching performance.
All Silent is the fifth foal of Reavill Farm
mare
Lisheenowen (Semipalatinsk (USA) x Irish Quill)
who is due to foal down to Encosta de Lago any day
now.
In Sale yesterday, Benacus, a smart Galileo gelding out
of Reavill Farm mare
Ida
Pine (Pine Bluff x Ida's Image) took out the
Wellington Visitor Centre Maiden over 1413m in what
was only his second start. With a second placing in
his first start the gelding looks to be doing
everything right and we look forward to following his
progress.
Ida
Pine is due to foal down to Dehere this week.
>> Vintage Rocks for Barbara Joseph
29/07/07
3yo
filly Vintage Rock (Thunder Gulch x Rock Review) put in
a commanding performance to record the first win of her
career in the Maiden Handicap over 1080m at Canberra on
Sunday. Having her first run back from a spell the filly
jumped well and settled towards the tail end of the
field. With the pressure well and truly on at the home
turn, jockey Peter Robl asked for a little bit more and
the filly instantly put herself into the picture. As
they straightened for the run to the line Vintage Rock
worked her way up to the lead and held her rivals at bay
to win by a safe distance of two lengths.
Vintage Rock is a half sister to Rock Revival (Flying
Spur x Rock Review) who was also trained by Barbara
Joseph. Rock Revival won seven races and over $160,000
in prizemoney. The dam of both fillies,
Rock Review, will foal down to Oratorio this season.
>>
ALL Silent wins at RANDWICK
An
impressive near last to first performance by All Silent
(Belong To Me -
Lisheenowen) left the bookies cheering at Randwick
yesterday. The half brother to multiple group one
winning mare Private Steer was friendless in the betting
ring but showed plenty of determination on the track to
win by 1/2 a length on debut. The Graham Begg trained
three year old is the fifth foal of Reavill Farm mare
Lisheenowen, one of the latest additions to the farm's
broodmare band. Lisheenowen is now less than a fortnight
away from foaling down for 2007, with the farm anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the foal by leading stallion
Encosta de Lago.

ANAMATO THIRD IN
AMERICAN OAKS
An excellent ride coupled
with an outstanding performance from the David Hayes
trained Anamato (Redoute’s Choice x Voltage) led to a
third placing in the Grade 1 American Oaks (2000m), held
at Hollywood Park over the weekend. It has been well
documented that the talented filly hadn’t travelled
well, adding even more merit to the performance. Anamato
jumped well and settled one off the fence in fifth
position, stalking eventual winner Panty Raid from the
Todd Pletcher stable. Forced to fan wide around the
final turn, Anamato hung out and was slightly impeded
midway up the straight, which in hindsight may have cost
her the race.
Anamato’s dam; Voltage
is creating quite a dynasty for herself. Aside from
Anamato, Voltage has produced two other stakes winners
including the group one winner Drum (Group 1 Oakleigh
Plate) and Port Watch (Listed Macdonald Stakes, 2nd
Group 1 Caulfield Guineas). Daughters of Voltage are
also doing the job at stud having produced the likes of
seven time group one winner Grand Armee (Hennessy x
Tambour) and Mearas (Redoute’s Choice x Eldarin). Hong
Kong sprinting superstar Absolute Champion (Marauding x
Beauty Belle) is also prominent in the pedigree being
closely related to Reavill Farm mare
Volte (Marauding x Voltage), who after a successful
mating with Redoute’s Choice last season is due to foal
down in August.
>>
Anamato set to take Hollywood by storm
The David Hayes trained
Anamato (Redoute’s Choice - Voltage) is set to take on
some of the best fillies in the world ahead of her start
in the Grade 1 American Oaks (2000m), which will be run
at Hollywood Park over the weekend. The talented filly
has been causing quite a stir in the USA with some of
the locals not accustomed to the way Australian horses
typically prepare for big races. The daughter of
Redoute’s Choice and outstanding producer Voltage, was
an outstanding last start victor in the Group 1
Australasian Oaks (2000m) and will take on a host of
talented gallopers from right around the Globe including
Japan, Ireland, France and of course the USA.
Anamato is a half sister
to Reavill Farm resident
Volte (Marauding - Voltage). Come August, the farm
will be anxiously awaiting the arrival of Volte’s 2007
foal by Redoute’s Choice, a mating that has already
validated itself with likes of the aforementioned
Anamato and the promising colt Mearas, who is out of a
full sister to Volte.

The Baroness scores for Barbara Joseph
- 25/5/07
In only her second
start, three year old filly The Baroness
(Verdict
Declared x Viscount) broke her maiden status
in the Home Loan Centre Maiden Handicap over 1080m at
Canberra today. Ridden by apprentice Tye Angland for
trainer Barbara Joseph the filly travelled well
and responded beautifully when asked in the straight to
go on and win by a short neck over favourite Friday
Blues. The Baronness is out of Reavill Farm mare
Verdict Declared and it's a family that has given
Joseph Racing plenty of success. Barbara not only
trained Verdict Declared winning ten races, two listed,
she is also currently training A Country Girl (Singspiel
x Verdict Declared), a talented young mare who recently
won the Group 3 Millie Fox Stakes over 1300m at Rosehill
in March of this year. We wish Barbara and all at
Joseph Racing continued success with both horses from
this great performing family.

Anamato Wins Gr1 Schweppes Oaks
21/4/07
Super
talented filly, Anamato (Redoute's Choice x Voltage, by
Whiskey Road) celebrated her first Gr 1 victory winning
the $250,000 Gr1 SAJC Schweppes Oaks (2000m) for 3YO fillies at
Morphettville earning herself an invitation to the USA
to run in the Hollywood Oaks at Hollywood Park on the
9th July. Trainer David Hayes said he would talk with
the owners, adding "It is a
very tempting offer, the filly showed on Saturday she
has the class and strength to be competitive on an
overseas level". Starting favourite, and ridden by
in-form jockey Michael Rodd, Anamato was 1.5 lengths too
good for Cancanelle (Danehill Dancer-Richelle, by
Century) who was a short half-head in front of Devil
Moon (King Cugat-Classy Babe, by Masterclass). Anamato
is a half sister to Reavill Farm mare
Volte (Marauding x Voltage) whose
Easter yearling by Fusaichi Pegasus was knocked down
to the astute bloodstock agent James Bester. We
wish James the very best of luck with this lovely colt.
>> 2007 AUSTRALIAN EASTER

Absolute Champion Rated World's Best Sprinter
Hong Kong based Absolute
Champion (Marauding x Beauty Belle, by Ideal Planet), a 3/4
relation to Reavill Farm mare
Volte, has
lived up to his name by being named the top-rated sprinter in
the world last year. The Australian bred gelding slammed a
top-class international field in last month's Gr1 Hong Kong
Sprint, beating Silent Witness by more than four lengths in a
runaway victory. International handicappers have unveiled
their latest list of the world's top 50 racehorses for the

names to add to those contained in the World Thoroughbred
Racehorse Rankings (which were Northern Hemisphere-based). He

Rock Revival starts 2007 in style for Joseph Racing
Reavill Farm bred Rock Revival (Flying Spur x
Rock Review)
recorded her second victory at Royal Randwick on the 1st of
January welcoming in 2007 in great style for Barbara Joseph's
stable. Coming back after a short
freshen up from a spring campaign and a last start 4th at Flemington
on Cup Day, Rock Revival looked fresh in the yard, and had admirers
despite jumping from barrier 10. With Zac Purton aboard, Rock
Revival was positioned just off the speed but was forced to sit wide
the entire trip without cover. Approaching the 150mtrs the Flying
Spur mare kicked away from the early pacesetters and was left to
stave off a late challenge from pre-post favourite Jack's Girl.
Living up to her movie namesake, "Rocky" dug deep to win by a short
head. This win takes her earnings
up to the $159,000 mark in an already formidable career. Rock
Review has an oustanding
bay filly by Redoute's Choice being offered at this year's
Easter Yearling Sale and is currently in foal to Oratorio.

DE MILLE (Fantastic Light x Rich Haul) THE one to
watch
Darley Australia's investment in the Fantastic Light X
Rich Haul colt
looks certain to pay due dividends, if the latest trials are any
guide. The imposing bay colt, widely considered the pick of his
sire's crop of yearlings in 2005, won a 1000 meter barrier trial at
Cranbourne today with consummate ease. The training duties for the
superbly bred De Mille were entrusted to Brian Mayfield Smith after
John Ferguson of Darley outlasted the competition in a strong
bidding duel, with a final bid of $300,000.
Rich Haul is due to foal down a Fastnet Rock any day now and will
