✌️ Back-to-Back Stable Doubles for Kelley Racing

Kelley Racing capped off a big week with a second double—this time at Gundagai—making it four winners in five days, following Wednesday’s successes at Canberra with She’sadare and Xceptional Fella.

Kotaishi kicked things off in Race 1, the Hahn 3.5 Maiden Plate over 1400m. The 4YO gelding by Snitzel bounced back from a narrow 0.03L defeat at Canberra last start, breaking through in style under Jeff Penza. A well-deserved win for a horse who’s been knocking on the door.

Later in the day, stable debutant Ana Carolina lined up in the Ray Silburn Class 1 & Maiden Plate over 1800m. The 4YO mare was identified and purchased by Peter Lewis from the February Late Inglis Digital Sale for $15,000. She settled just off the speed and finished strongly, claiming the race and picking up $19,575 in prizemoney, including a BOBS Extra Bonus.
