A great effort – this was Recall Events first race back after a break, and he was a long shot.
What a great race, he comes from behind and just gets past the post first. Watch the race, Recall Events comes out of Gate 2 and his number 9.
Sunshine Coast – Distance 1400m
We are all very excited at Magpie Creek – Lucy wins again.

The weather is great.
There’s lots to do in the Canungra Valley – visit local wineries, waterfalls, bush walks, markets, boutique shops in the Canungra and Mt Tamborine areas and it’s only 45 minutes to the Worlds – Movieworld– Dreamworld– Seaworld– Wet and Wild – Paradise Country and the Outback Spectacular.
There’s plenty of places to eat out – Canungra Hotel, Beaded Dragon, Albert River Winery, Songbirds, and many more. Eating out at Mt Tamborine.
So – consider a visit to our farmstay – relax on the deck, watch the horses at play, swim in the pool, read a good book and spend time with your friends.
Look at the green grass in the paddock – we haven’t seen such green grass for nearly 12 months, and now the summer rain has finally arrived – weather forecasters are predicting bucket loads of rain over the next week. It’s gumboots and rain coat time – and we’ll loving it!
Everyone is happy at the farm.
With 90 mm (3.5 inches) of rain overnight – we’ve got lots of puddles and the water tanks are overflowing. The water is at the very top of the pool and the ducks are having a great time.
The grass is greening up and growing in some spots. Of course – there’s still a lot of areas that are bare from the drought.
We now had as much rain this month, as we had for the last 12 months.
A great way to start the year!
