Jessie Lincoln

Stable name: Jessie

Ray Green: “She’s a beautiful pacer but is a big filly who needs a bit more time so she’s having a short break.”

Breeding: Lather Up - Jessie’s Girl filly

By Woodlands Stud’s new sire Lather Up, this filly is out of the unraced Jessie’s Girl but don’t let that put you off.

She is a half-sister to speedy filly Coastal Babe, who had not raced when Lincoln Farms bought this filly as a weanling in May, 2023. Coastal Babe has since won seven races, including the Victoria Oaks in October.

Her granddam Jessies Cullen won nine races.

It is the family of big winners All U Need Is Faith (42 wins, 1:49.4, US$706,250), Pacing Major (31 wins, 1:52, $692,661), Nad (29 wins, US$236,210), Chatham Grace (24 wins, US$123,157) and Pazam (22 wins, $136,113).

Johnny Lincoln

Stable name: Star

Ray Green: “He’s a nice colt and a good pacer who should run early.”

Breeding: Lather Up - Ima Megastar colt

It was no surprise that trainer Ray Green snapped up this colt as a weanling. While his dam Ima Megastar never raced, she was the first and only foal of the stable’s six-race winner Lincoln’s Megastar, a full sister to Lincoln Farms’ Auckland Cup winner Sir Lincoln, who won 21 races and $663,601.

Lincoln’s Megastar blitzed her Auckland rivals on debut by nine and a half lengths and went on to win six of only 23 starts. Sadly she was killed in 2018 when crushed by a fallen tree in a violent storm.

Lincoln Dealer

Stable name: Tad

Ray Green: “He’s a quality colt and a beautiful pacer who should go early.”

Breeding: American Ideal - Voluntad colt

An impressive looker at the yearling sales, this colt is out of eight-race winner Voluntad and is a half-brother to Sharkies Girl (8 wins).

Voluntad’s half sister Lively Nights left three headlining Lincoln Farms performers - dual New Zealand Trotting Cup winner Copy That (33 wins, $2m), My Copy (7 wins) and Sugar Ray Lincoln (3 wins).

Lincoln Downs

Stable name: Anne

Ray Green: “She is a good little filly with a nice attitude but will probably come along a little later.”

Breeding: Downbytheseaside - Roanne filly

By emerging Woodlands Stud sire Downbytheseaside, this filly’s family is chock full of black type.

Her dam is a half-sister to the fast racemare Lancome, winner of 13 races including five at Group level, and $461,278 in stakes, and 22-race winner In Monaco ($242,559).

The best of Roanne’s three winners so far are Holy Grail (1:52.6) who won 27 races, 10 in West Australia and another 16 in the States, and Change Is Good (8 wins).

Lincoln Grace

Stable name: Grace

Ray Green: “She’s a good gaited filly who can be a little bit hot but she should shape up early.”

Breeding: Downbytheseaside - Everlasting Grace filly

Lincoln Farms has had plenty of success with this Woodlands Stud breed, Everlasting Grace the 14th and last foal of their prolific producer Jessie Grace.

Everlasting Grace, who won six races, is a half-sister to Nad (29 wins, US$236,210), Chatham Grace (24 wins, US$123,157), Pazam (22 wins, $136,113) and Pacing Grace (8 wins) who left big winners All U Need Is Faith (42 wins, 1:49.4, US$706,250) and Pacing Major (31 wins, 1:52, $692,661).

It is the family of Lincoln Farms’ former iron horse Make Way who won 15 races here and in Australia.

Lincoln Linda

Stable name: Linda

Ray Green: “She’s a nice, strong filly who is showing us a lot. She should run early.”

Breeding: Bettor’s Delight - High Society Gal filly

By long-time champion sire Bettor’s Delight, this filly’s dam High Society Gal is a sister to Chachingchaching who did a great job for Lincoln Farms, winning seven races before his sale to Australia in 2015 where he won another nine races, pacing a career fastest of 1:51.6 at Menangle.

The filly is a full sister to High Flying Harry (8 wins).

Her grand-dam Affairs Of State left seven winners from eight foals to the races including Ring The Till (17 wins) and Smart Fortune (10 wins).

Lincoln Lover

Stable name: Cyril

Ray Green: “He’s only a little guy but he’s a good pacer with a good attitude and he keeps improving.”

Breeding: Bettor’s Delight - Ca Cest Lamore colt

Lincoln Farms’ owner John Street faced some spirited opposition when this colt went through the sale ring at Karaka.

His dam left Aramis, one of the fastest sons of Street’s former star pacer Sir Lincoln, who won three races here and another six in the United States.

The colt is a brother to the talented Serg Blanco who won five races here before being sold to Australia where he has added another eight wins.

The colt’s second dam, Les Payzen Star, a half sister to former champion Elsu, left New Zealand Oaks winner Copper Beach (9 wins) who, in turn, produced multiple Group I winner De Lovely (15 wins).

Lincoln Maree

Stable name: Maree

Ray Green: “She’s a good pacer but will need a bit of time.”

Breeding: Sweet Lou - Moonlighting filly

This filly has an all round Woodlands Stud pedigree, destined to succeed being by the very successful stallion Sweet Lou out of Moonlighting, a sister to Lincoln Farms’ outstanding pacer Sir Lincoln (21 wins, $663,601) who won an Auckland Cup, Harness Jewels and Sires’ Stakes Final.

Moonlighting never raced, nor did her dam Clare De Lune, but she also left Lord Lincoln (11 wins), Lincolns Megastar (6 wins), Lincolns Superstar (6 wins) and Lincolns Keepsake (4 wins).

Lincoln’s Spice

Stable name: Spice

Ray Green: “She’s a good pacer but will take time.”

Breeding: American Ideal - Spice It Up filly

Lincoln Farms had virtually stopped breeding its own horses but had to make an exception when forced to retire this filly’s dam Spice It Up.

Spice It Up was so fast and precocious the stable originally thought she could be their best two-year-old, the boys included.

But, though she won the second of her only three starts, she was dogged by severe tying-up.

The filly’s grand-dam Soul Sister is a half-sister to freakish champion Carabella, winner of 17 of her 19 starts and $693,615.

Lincoln Wave

Stable name: Wave

Ray Green: “He’s a big, strong colt and a nice pacer. He’s going as well as his half brother Lincoln Lou at the same stage and should run early.”

Breeding: Downbytheseaside - Sea Of Gold colt

This colt is the third foal of Sea Of Gold, a sister to Gold Ace, one of New Zealand’s best pacers of recent years who won $1.24 million and 22 races, including seven at Group I level.

Lincoln Farms raced Sea Of Gold who, while only little, tried her heart out in her two wins. Her first two foals are (Hi) Suga Rush (7 wins) and Lincoln Farms’ own promising two-year-old Lincoln Lou (1 win).

The stable raced another tough horse from this family in (Lets) Strike The Gold who won 15 races here and in Australia.

Sea Of Gold is also a sister to big winner Dark Energy (34 wins, US$393,627).

Prince Lincoln

Stable name: Prince

Ray Green: “He’s a good-looking colt who paces nicely and could come up early. I expect he’ll make a two-year-old.”

Breeding: Always B Miki - Cullens Princess colt

This Always B Miki colt is out of a half-sister to New Zealand Trotting Cup winner Thefixer (12 wins, $660,771).

He is the seventh foal of the unraced Mach Three mare Cullens Princess who has already produced Gooddealehemily (9 wins), Goodealehmaddie (9 wins), Miki Montana (6 wins) and Lincoln La Moose (1 win).

His grand-dam was the swift Great Northern Oaks winner Tosti Girl (7 wins) whose best performers were Thefixer and The Honey Queen (13 wins) who paced 1:50.3 at Menangle.

Sammy Lincoln

Stable name: Sam

Ray Green: “He’s a big, strong colt with great manners and attitude and should run early.”

Breeding: Always B Miki - Samantha Q colt

Trainer Ray Green was definitely going back to the well, buying this son of Samantha Q.

Between 2015 and 2017, his half-brother Alta Intrigue was a consistently good two-year-old and three-year-old for Lincoln Farms, with four wins and 13 placings from 26 starts, including a third in the Northern Derby. Sold for good money to West Australia, he won another 10 races.

Green’s belief this colt will run early is underlined by the fact Alta Intrigue won two of his first three starts as a two-year-old and ran fourth in the Young Guns Final.

Susy Lincoln

Stable name: Susy

Ray Green: “She’s not as mature as some of the others and will more than likely come along later.”

Breeding: Lazarus - Cyathea filly

This filly is by dual New Zealand Trotting Cup winner Lazarus, who in only a few seasons at stud has left exciting three-year-olds Jeremiah (5 wins) and The Lazarus Effect (2 wins).

She is the 12th foal of the Fake Left mare Cyathea who has producing Cyamach (26 wins, 1:50.8, $499,696), Star Of Montana (9 wins) and Cya Art (7 wins).

Her third dam Fern Glen was the 2yo filly of the year in 1988-89 and left eight winners from 11 foals, the best of which was Maheer Lord who scored 20 of his 31 wins in the States.

Breeding: Bettor’s Delight - Pop Princess colt

One name stands out on Lincoln Blue’s pedigree page - Chachingchaching, the winner of seven races for Lincoln Farms and another nine in Australia after being sold. Second dam Affairs Of State also left the good racehorses Ring The Till (17 wins) and Smart Fortune (10 wins).

Breeding: Art Major - Cullens Princess colt

Lincoln Farms’ owner John Street bid aggressively on this Art Major colt whose dam Cullen’s Princess scored a strike only a few hours earlier when her third foal Miki Montana ran second behind True Fantasy in the Harness Million Fillies’ Final at Alexandra Park.

But it was the heavy black type attached to second dam Tosti Girl that clinched the deal, her winners including NZ Cup hero Thefixer (12 wins, $1.05million), Precious M (15 wins), The Honey Queen (13 wins) and Sir Tosti Mach (9 wins).

Class of 2021-2022

The three most forward colts in a training run at Pukekohe - Ideal Kingdom (Andrew Drake) leads Lincoln River (Andrew Sharpe) and Frankie Major (Zachary Butcher).

Favourite time of the year

For Lincoln Farms’ trainer Ray Green, it’s one of his favourite times of the year - when he starts to ask more questions of his band of rising two-year-olds.

Some will respond, others will start to struggle, but in a just a few more weeks Green will know just how many of his youngsters will shape into Young Guns.

Green’s class of 2021-22 includes 10 for Lincoln Farms and another half dozen of his own and those belonging to outside clients.

When leading Auckland photogragher Trish Dunell captured the babies going through their paces at Pukekohe the three most forward colts Frankie Major, Lincoln River and Ideal Kingdom cut a fine dash.

Dragging heavy work carts, Green was rapt to see the trio running 2:14 for a mile.

“They’ll find an extra few seconds when they get their race carts on but Frankie Major has already run a quarter in 28.2.

“They’ll be ready to go by the end of next month,” says Green, the green light date coinciding with January 1 when they officially turn two under the new calender season.

Harness Racing New Zealand has just amended its rules to allow yearling workouts and trials starting immediately, to be known as rising two-year-old heats.

The first two-year-old races at Alexandra Park will be on January 21 with a race for colts and geldings and a race for fillies.

The first Young Guns heat for colts and geldings will be held on February 11, the big night featuring three Harness Millions races. The fillies get their turn a week later.

The $75,000 Finals will be held on March 25.

Check out the credentials of Lincoln Farms’ class of 2021 alongside Dunell’s outstanding pictorial coverage.

Stable name: Diesel

Ray Green: “He goes pretty nicely and is in the top three at this stage. He’s not overly enthusiastic and only does what he has to, but that’s a typical Bettor’s Delight trait. I couldn’t fault him at the sales. He had a great pedigree, conformation, temperament and was a great walker.”

Breeding: Bettor’s Delight - Splendid Deal

Stable name: Passy

Stable name: Sam

10% share: $5750 ($5000 + GST). Monthly training fee for a 10% share: $264.50 ($230 + GST).

Stable name: Apple

Ray Green: “He’s as good as anything we’ve got. He was a handful to start with and used to put the boot in but he’s a perfect gentleman now. He’s a favourite of Andre (Poutama) who has put in dibs on driving him.”

Breeding: Sweet Lou - Maddisons Delight

Toe The Line

10% share: $4600 ($4000 + GST). Monthly training fee for a 10% share: $264.50 ($230 + GST).

Stable name: Charlie

Ray Green: “Early on, he showed a lot but he wasn’t strong enough to cope when we speeded him up. He’s been in the paddock for a couple of months now but will be back in the new year. He was only a little fella but has grown a lot.”

Breeding: Betting Line - Arden Caviar

This colt is a half brother to Lincoln Farms’ capable pacer Captain Nemo and Arden Caviar’s first foal is the speedy mare Pearl Harbour.

Class of 2019

American Dealer FULL

10% share: $5750. ($5000 plus GST)

Stable name: Major

Ray Green: “He’s a nice little horse who should make a two-year-old. He’s a good pacer who’s done nothing wrong but I gave him a bit of a break as he was a bit small and weak.”

January 25 update: In only his second workout today, American Dealer led all the way to score by three-quarters of a length from stablemate Prestige Stride after which driver Andre Poutama reported he felt a little tired in the running. Says Green: “He’s a dear little horse who is a real tradesman. He’s certainly got the manners to make it.”

Breeding: American Ideal - Maddison’s Delight

From a family rich in black type, this colt is the second foal of a Bettor’s Delight mare who is a half sister to headliners (Our) Amazing Art (15 wins), All U Need Is Faith (8 wins), Pacing Major (13 wins) and Grace Way, the dam of Lincoln Farms’ smart colt Make Way (13 wins).

Apieceoflou

10% share: $11,500 ($10,000 plus GST)

Stable name: Frank

Ray Green: “He’s jogging up and is due to start fast work again soon. He was a big, gangly weakling but has strengthened up considerably this time in. He’s still got some developing to do - he needs to pop up in the wither - but he paces well enough and he’s got some good American blood.”

January 25 update: “He’s improved immensely in the last few weeks and is training down really well, getter better each time we take him out. He’s the biggest improver of all on the farm.”

Breeding: Sweet Lou - Wantapieceofme

Out of a half sister to a 1:47 winner, Apieceoflou boasts a string of big race winners in the United States in his family including Hop Sing (27 wins), world champion Shebestingin (18 wins, 1:47) and Bono Bests (25 wins).

He is out of the Rocknroll Hanover mare Wantapieceofme, whose only other foal Betterpiece has won two races in Western Australia.

Bondi Shake FULL

10% share: $5750 ($5000 plus GST)

Stable name: Bobby

Ray Green: “He was one of my favourites at the yearling sales and we stole him. He’s about the only Somebeachsomewhere I’ve ever liked and I couldn’t fault what he’s done so far. He’s perfectly mannered with a nice stride and is on target for the first Young Guns heat.”

January 25 update: “He had the best part of a month off after showing signs of getting tired, but is back training well and will have his first fast test next Saturday. I’ve always liked him. He’s a beautiful horse who does everything nicely. Whether he’s got big speed or not I’m not sure yet but he certainly has all the manners and gait. He’ll win races for sure.”

Breeding: Somebeachsomewhere - Seven Point One

Bondi Shake is the first colt out of six-race winner Seven Point One who is a half sister to the good winners Courtney John and Bobbie McArdle.

Her third dam Port Medley won the 2005-06 Broodmare excellence award, leaving 15 foals who all raced, for 12 winners, including Falcon’s Medley (16 wins) and Lively Medley (20 wins).

Brodie Lindenny

10% share: $8050 ($7000 plus GST)

Stable name: Lenny

Ray Green: “He’s very big and immature and has been slow to develop but he’ll come to it later. We gelded him last week.”

January 25 update: “Just trying to get him to pace at the moment is a major. He’s a rangy type who’s going to take time.”

Breeding: Bettor’s Delight - Lady Dancer

Brodie Lindenny is the fifth foal of a seven race winner in Lady Dancer. She has had three foals to the races including the eight-race winner Come Dance With Me, who is racing in Western Australia, and Dancing Dixie.

It is the family of crack pacer Surprise Package who won 13 races in New Zealand and another 14 in the United States.

Second dam Jodi Vance left eight winners.

Captain Nemo FULL

10% share: $14,950 ($13,000 plus GST)

Stable name: Nemo

Ray Green: “He’s a typical Captaintreacherous, athletic looking with a beautiful long body. I like him a lot and I think he’ll develop into a pretty nice racehorse. He’s improving all the time and is one of the most forward of my two-year-olds. He’s won a workout and his qualifying trial and is right on target for the first Young Guns heat.”

June 16 update: “I can’t fault what he’s done so far and he’s coming up really well. He’s a big, powerful colt and this will be his year. I’m high on him and think he will really excel. He’s one of our big hopes for the three-year-old races. I’ll be trialling him on Friday.”

Breeding: Captaintreacherous - Arden Caviar

Captain Nemo, by a much touted son of the ill-fated Somebeachsomewhere, is from a prolific winning family.

His dam Arden Caviar is a half sister to Bettor’s Strike (16 wins, A$789,000), multiple Group I winner Arden’s Choice (7 wins), Southwind Arden (9 wins) and Rocknroll Arden (6 wins).

Franco Nandor FULL

10% share: $17,250 ($15,000 plus GST)

Stable name: Nandor

Ray Green: “He’s a lovely horse who goes well but we gelded him last week because he was getting too heavy topped and was starting to get a bit aggressive so we decided to nip that in the bud.”

January 25 update: Nandor won his first workout on January 14 but got too fierce behind the gate in today’s qualifying trial and galloped. Driver Andrew Drake said he might have been better to press on, rather than try to hold him back. “He knows what he’s out there for now. As soon as we got up behind the gate I had to go for another grip.” Says Green: “He’s a nice horse in the making and just needs some fine tuning. He should be ready for the last Young Guns heat next month.”

Breeding: Mach Three - Nicaea Franco

Franco Nandor is from the Spreydon Lodge family of the big winner Nearea Franco, the winner of 11 races, including the Group I Queen Of Hearts. She was crowned four-year-old mare of the year in 2007-08, and is the dam of Nike Franco (30 wins) who has paced 1:49 in the United States.

He is the first foal of the one-race winner Nicaea Franco. His third dam No Paba left eight winners.

Jeff Beck FULL

10% share: $11,500 ($10,000 plus GST)

Stable name: Tommy

Ray Green: “Early on I thought he’d be a Young Guns horse, and he probably still will be, but not for the first couple of heats. We trained him down to 2:10 and he was nicely gaited but was a bit of a wanderer. He’s grown a lot since the yearling parade in August and is on his way up again.”

January 25 update: Jeff Beck won his first workout on January 4 but galloped soon after the start of his qualifying trial today. “I told Andre to test him a bit today and he obviously wasn’t quite ready for it. He just wasn’t used to being rushed out of the gate and lost the plot. His hopples were a bit long so we’ll tighten them up and plug his ears. We’re aiming him for the last Young Guns heat on February 28.”

Breeding: Rock N Roll Heaven - Lady Fingers

This cracking colt’s half sister The Orange Agent dominated her age group, winning 13 of her first 19 starts and 18 in all, including four Group I races.

He is the eighth foal of the mare Lady Fingers, who has had four to the races for four winners, the most recent Australasian record-breaking filly Cheesy Fingers, who posted a 1:50.3 mile at Menangle in January within days of landing in Australia after being sold out of Bunty and Gareth Hughes’ stable.

Louie The Punter

10% share: $5750 ($5000 plus GST)

Stable name: Kenny

Ray Green: ”He’s a nice pacer but is quite immature and we gelded him last week. He’ll come to it later.”

January 25 update: “His biggest claim to fame so far is his ability to escape out the gate from his paddock. He’s going to take a bit of time.”

Breeding: Sweet Lou - Love A Gamble

This colt’s full brother is the smart Double Or Nothing, one of the best of Lincoln Farms’ juvenile team last season.

His dam Love A Gamble has already produced nine-race winner Let It Ride, a star of the Tim Butt stable in Australia where he has won two Group I races, the Breeders’ Challenge Final in Sydney and Blacks A Fake in Brisbane.

Second dam Stylish Sweetheart (12 wins) was a star age group performer and left fast horses in Gomeo Romeo (13 wins) and Sterlish (15 wins).

Spice It Up

10% share: $8625 ($7500 plus GST)

Stable name: Spicey

Ray Green: “She’s shown us plenty and looks like being our best filly. She’s quite fat and we’ve had a bit of trouble with her tying up but I expect her to be very competitive in the fillies Young Guns heats.”

January 25 update: “She’s got all the ability in the world but she’s tied up badly on us again so I’ve turned her out. Even though she’s coming right, she hasn’t responded quickly enough for the Young Guns races. To press on now would only be detrimental to her mental state. She oozes ability and I don’t want to risk her.”

Breeding: Captaintreacherous - Soul Sister

Captaintreacherous, a son of the ill-fated champion stallion Somebeachsomewhere, hasn’t yet had any progeny to the racetrack in the southern hemisphere. The winner of 21 of his 26 starts at two and three he was, however, the leading sire of juveniles in the United States last year.

This filly’s dam was unraced but her granddam Andress Blue Chip is a virtual household name in the harness breeding world, her pinup offspring the freakish filly Carabella, who won 17 of her 19 races.

The Informant FULL

10% share: $5750 ($5000 plus GST)

Stable name: Reuben

Ray Green: “He’s about to start fast working again. We trained him down to 2:10 and he wasn’t quite coping - he’s a typical American Ideal and was changing stride - but this time in he should be much better. He’s a lot bigger than Hard Copy and is the closest to him conformation-wise than any of his other siblings.”

January 25 update: “He’s on the easy list after being gelded this week. He was getting too colty and distracted. He’s a typical American Ideal who’s nicely gaited but mixes things up. He’ll take a while to get fluent but he’s shown plenty.”

Breeding: American Ideal - Readallaboutit

This colt is a full brother to the West Australian superstar (My) Hard Copy who was bought by Green’s wife Debbie for $4000 before his sale to Australia where he won 27 races and $1.27 million.

It is the family of Presidential Belle (8 wins) who left the fast racehorse (Run) Oneover (23 wins, $577,000 before being sold to the States).

Themightyserina

10% share: $4887.50 ($4250 plus GST)

Stable name: Serina

Ray Green: “She’s only a little filly but she’s got a bit of speed and could make a Young Guns horse. She got down to 2:10 last prep, a half in 60, and enjoyed her work.”

January 25 update: “She’s been out in the paddock for three weeks and I will leave her there for a while yet. She was showing plenty of ability but is a small filly and just wasn’t coping with the step-up in work.”

Breeding: American Ideal - Themightykendall

Themightyserena is the second foal of Themightykendall who is a sister to champion pacer and multiple Horse of the Year Themightyquinn (58 wins, A$4.5million).

Second dam Love Sign also left Themightynadal (7 wins).

Further back in her pedigree are the big winners Excitable (29 wins) and Group I winner (Our) New Life (22 wins).

Class of 2018

Billy Lincoln

Stable name: Buzz

Ray Green: “He’s a nice, big horse who has been a slow developer. He’s just back from a break and is jogging up.”

Breeding: Billy Lincoln is bred on the golden cross of Bettor’s Delight over a Christian Cullen mare.

In New Zealand, that cross has left more than 120 winners, with three of them millionaires - Lazarus, Highview Tommy and Ohoka Punter.

Billy Lincoln is out of Ginnie Moon, who raced only five times, but her mum Armbro Innocence won 13 races here before being exported to the United States.

Cover Boy Pretty

Stable name: Blair

Ray Green: “He’s still turned out. He’s a big horse who showed a bit of ability but we’ll give him another month out.”

Breeding: Cover Boy Pretty is by Alabar’s new sire He’s Watching, who was US two-year-old colt of the year when he went undefeated in eight starts.

Winner of the Meadowlands Pace at three in a world record 1:46.8, He’s Watching has been keenly sought after here where his oldest progeny are two.

He is out of an unraced mare in Jessica Rose who has left Buy Chevron Direct, winner of 17 races.

Double Or Nothing FULL

Stable name: Louie

Ray Green: “He’s a beautifully balanced colt - he doesn’t wear an overcheck - and is a real character. He’s our great white hope. He ran a mile easily in under 2:08 last Saturday and I haven’t pushed him yet. He’s right up with the best Young Guns two-year-olds I’ve had.”

Breeding: Double Or Nothing was an impressive type even at the yearling sales when he cost Lincoln Farms $100,000.

He is by the much hyped new Woodlands Stud sire Sweet Lou out of an unraced Bettor’s Delight mare Love A Gamble.

His grand dam Stylish Sweetheart was one of the best youngsters of her era, winning seven races at two and 12 overall.

Stylish Sweetheart left 13-race winner Gomeo Romeo.

Double Or Nothing is a half brother to top pacer Let It Ride, who has won his last six starts in Australia for Tim Butt including two at Group I level.

Hampton Banner FULL

Stable name: Surf

Ray Green: “He got sick early on and is still a bit of a weakling but he’s quite a nice horse. He’s still growing and will end up a big horse. He’s back jogging. He won’t be a Young Guns horse but he’ll race as a two-year-old.”

Breeding: Hampton Banner, by leading sire Bettor’s Delight, is a full brother to six-race winner Scarlett Banner who has really made his mark this season since he switched gaits and started trotting.

His dam Surf And Sand has also produced Broadway Banner who has won two races this season.

It is the family of former speedster Spirit Of Zeus (11 wins) and Star Of Bethlehem who left Stars And Stripes (15 wins) and star juvenile Light And Sound (11 wins).

Joey Lincoln

Stable name: Slip

Ray Green: “He was going really well but he couldn’t cope with the tempo we stepped him up to and started making breaks. He’s back jogging after a break but will need a bit of time to find himself.”

Breeding: Joey Lincoln is by Woodlands’ new sire Sweet Lou, whose stock are getting rave reviews both here and in America.

Already Sweet Lou has produced the highest priced weanling, $120,000, at the 2018 All Aged Sale and an outstanding yearling who sold for $150,000.

Joey is out of the two-race winning Bettor’s Delight mare Bettabe Fast.

Larry Lincoln

Stable name: Yolo

Ray Green: “He’s a neat little horse but he went a bit sore and when we X-rayed him we found he had immature, soft bones. He’s shown plenty but we’ll leave him out until the New Year.”

Breeding: Larry Lincoln is by Woodlands Stud’s exciting new sire Sweet Lou whose first runners here will be this season’s two-year-olds.

Sweet Lou retired with earnings of US$3,478,894 and a best mile time of 1:47 and is already making his mark in the breeding barn in the United States.

He is out of the unraced mare Yolo.

His great grand dam Zenola Star left quality pacers Zenad (14 wins) and Zenola Seelster (12 wins).

Line Up SOLD

Stable name: Harry

Ray Green: “He’s a lovely mover who has shown good ability but he started doing things wrong when the pressure went on. He’s back jogging now but isn’t a Young Guns horse. He could be a late two-year-old.”

Breeding: Line Up has good looks and an even better pedigree.

He is by champion stallion Bettor’s Delight out of the Beach Towel mare Beach Parade. That makes him a full brother to crack 1:51.3 mare Partyon, winner of 17 of her 31 starts and $658,000 in stakes.

Man Of Action FULL

Stable name: Ramsey

Ray Green: “He should be a Young Guns horse. He’s a lovely horse, big and strong, and a real natural.”

Breeding: Man Of Action is a Woodlands Stud product through and through - by leading sire Bettor’s Delight out of their mare Grace Way, the winner of four races.

He is a full brother to excellent pacer Forgotten Highway, a candidate for November’s New Zealand Cup, and a half brother to Lincoln Farms’ own Make Way, winner of two races and a close fourth in last season’s Harness Jewels.

His grand dam Pacing Grace won eight races and left All U Need Is Faith and Pacing Major, who is still winning in the United States.

Hilary Barry (ex Princess Isabel) SOLD TO AMERICA

Stable name: Finnie

Ray Green: “She’s goes well and is a real tradesman who does everything right. She is training down really well and worked a mile in 2:10 the other day. She’s probably a Young Guns filly.”

Breeding: By champion sire Bettor’s Delight, Princess Isabel is out of Finiamo, making her a full sister to seven-race winner Glenisthebettor.

Finiamo won one race in a limited career but her half sister Livingontheinterest won 20 of her 48 starts, taking a mile record of 1:53.1 in Australia.

Sir Tiger FULL

Stable name: Tiger

Ray Green: “He could be the surprise packet, he’s developing into quite a nice horse. He was a bit unco-ordinated last time in but has come a long way this prep. He’s a real colt, a bit of a handful. They’d like to geld him but I don’t want to. He’s training down really well.”

Breeding: By Lincoln Farm’s own stallion Sir Lincoln, Sir Tiger is just the third foal out of Tigers Delight, whose dam Tigerish won 15 races and $491,000 for Pam and Lindsay Turner.

Lincoln Farms raced the best of Tigerish’s progeny, Justa Tiger, who won nine races.

Sir Lincoln had a terrific winners-to-starters ratio last season, with 16 individual winners from just 39 starters.

Super Easy

Stable name: Scooter

Ray Green: “He’s certainly got the ability, he just needs to get a bit stronger and more co-ordinated. He was getting down to good sectionals last time in but started doing things wrong. He’s not mentally there yet, still playing around, but he goes well.”

Breeding: By successful sire Art Major, Super Easy is a full brother to former Kiwi pacer Alleluia, who has now won 33 races and $520,000 in Australia.

He is also a half brother to Kingsman who has won his last two starts at Gloucester Park in Perth.

His dam Shy Annie was unraced but is out the well bred American mare Sudden Urge II.

Tiger’s Watching RETIRED

Stable name: Pam

Ray Green: “She’s huge on ability, she can fly, but we have to be careful with her or she could get a little hot. We’ll school her down quietly. She’s a big filly who has popped up again in the bum. We just need to be patient with her. If we did things wrong she could turn into a runaway.”

Breeding: By Woodlands’ sire American Ideal, Tiger’s Watching is out of an unraced mare in Tigerzureal but her grand dam Tigerish was very speedy and won 15 races and nearly half a million dollars.

Lincoln Farms raced Tigerzureal’s first foal, Linc’s Tiger, who won one race here before being sold to Perth where he has now won eight races.

This is only Tigerzureal’s second foal.

Tommy Lincoln FULL

Stable name: Timber

Ray Green: “He’s a big rangy guy we gelded. He’s a nice pacer but another who could get a little hot if we pushed him too soon. He’s not a Young Guns horse but he’ll come along a bit later.”

Breeding: Out of the Falcon Seelster mare Tania Tandias, Tommy Lincoln is by Woodlands Stud’s successful sire American Ideal.

He is a half brother to Lincoln Farms’ Lincoln Road, who won four races from only 13 starts before his recent sale to Queensland, and to Lincoln’s Girl, who has won two of her five starts for Lincoln Farms.

His grand dam Tandia’s Courage was a prolific producer for Bromac Lodge, her best Tatijana Bromac (8 wins), Tandias Bromac (14 wins) and Te Amo Bromac (7 wins).
