OWNERS
Prominent owners; Sir Peter Vela, Gerard Peterson, Gerry Harvey, Windsor Park Stud, David Archer, Mick Dittman and Sir Patrick Hogan are/have been among his stable of owners, as is a powerful presence of Hong Kong based businessmen.
Shaune prepared the Hong Kong Gr.1 winner Thumbs Up prior to his NZ departure, and similarly the NZ Derby winner Military Move left the Ritchie stable with the perfect start to his career en route to Sha Tin.
With this level of international repute, and a stable of consistent performers to frank his winning form, Shaune remains firmly focused on being one of New Zealand’s best trainers.
“Shaune’s record makes formidable reading with his record including the winners of a NZ Derby, NZ Oaks (3), NZ 2000 Guineas, NZ Cup, NZ St Leger, Mudgway Partsworld Stakes, Otaki Maori WFA (2), Let’s Elope Stakes, Eight Carat Classic, Lowland Stakes, Desert Gold Stakes, Eulogy Stakes, and many more”
Owners Lesley & Russel Warwick
“We continue to support the stable on a regular basis and I would be happy to recommend Shaune Ritchie Racing to any prospective owner”
“Shaune (and now partner Colm Murray) are rarely without a good horse in the stable and have guided high class horses such as Jennifer Eccles, Keep the Peace, Military Move, Artistic, Zurella, and Devise to wins in some of New Zealand’s elite races”
Shaune inspects the colt by Vadamos, from the talented racemare Velvet and Satin (Half-sister to ETHEREAL) herself by the fabulously well-bred CARNEGIE – the Arc winner, from the Arc winner DETROIT. Carnegie has gained significant success in black-type races as a damsire – the camp is looking forward to this boy’s future. Purchased from Pencarrow Stud’s draft by SF Ritchie-Murray Racing & Gee Gee Equine.
