Former stable star Christen Me wins the 2014 NSW Miracle Mile in 1:49.1
Welcome to the Cran Dalgety Racing Stables website.
Cran has last season’s Northern Derby winner, Raukapuka Ruler, back in training and set to command the stable’s flagship role this term.
He’s also rapt to have last season’s smart pacing filly Bonnie Joan near racing pitch again.
Bettor Joy and Master Moonlite, both semi-final Australasian Breeders Crown winners in August, will tackle the 3YO features later this term, while Pat’s Delight, a winner of three from six 2YO starts, is gearing up for the Sires Stakes Heats this spring.
Well-performed half-brothers, Art Union and Alpha Rock, will continue to represent the stable in tight class spring racing.
Cran is excited by the prospects of several promising new season 2YOs as he rebuilds the race team following exports to North America last term of former stable star Christen Me and the good-winning 3YOs, On The Rantan and Baileys Rock.
Winner of the NZ trainers premiership in 2013, Cran has won most of the big races on the Australasian Grand Circuit, including five Australasian Breeders Crown Final titles.
Cran has prepared over 1160 winners of over $13 million in stakes in NZ alone since Laud won first-up in his colours in 1992.
