Un-named 5 year old bay mare
(2007 Saddlers Hall - Frankly Native)

"This lady is a lovely racy type. Her brothers are top notch and her sister won too, so she's got plenty going for her", Colm Murphy

Our latest recruit is a 5 year old full sister to Grade 2 winner Master of the Hall (OR 150) and Featherbed Lane, just beaten a nostril in the Lanzarote Hurdle off 144. Her full sister was also a winner at five. As if that wasn't enough, her second dam produced crack two mile chaser Sound Man and her third dam produced Grade 1 winner Roberto Goldback. So a family steeped in success.

Shares in this mare are currently available. We have her on a free lease for her racing career and, thus, there is no upfront cost. Ongoing training and racing costs will be €2,300 per annum (€195 per month) and if she proves to be unsuccessful, we will replace her with another mare.

"The more I see him, the more I like him. I can't wait to get going with this fella and if we have as much luck with him as we've had with the other Winning Ways horses, we have plenty to look forward to", Colm Murphy

In July 2011 we purchased a smashing son of leading sire Presenting out of and unraced mare wih plenty of winners further back in the pedigree. Pictured right, he cost the Winning Ways Solar syndicate €20,000 at the 2011 Tattersalls Derby sale and is a half-brother to a listed dual bumper winner. Standing at 16.0 hands, he's a handy type.

Update Jan 2012 - he will soon be named and has done extremely well in his work. He is on a short break and will go back into training at the end of Jan. His target will be a bumper in April.

Brave Inca ==> CHAMPION HURDLER
(1998 Good Thyne – Wigwam Mam)

“Like Muhammad Ali said, you've got to have the will and the skill and the desire and this fellow's got it all”, Tony McCoy

Brave Inca has provided Winning Ways Syndicate Manager Oran Crean with many thrills over the last seven years. Bought by Colm Murphy on behalf of the Dublin based Crean and O’Tierney families for €18,000 at the Goffs Land Rover sales in June 2001, Brave Inca was the Novices syndicate’s first foray into racehorse ownership.

Synonymous with Cheltenham, Brave Inca showed his battling qualities on many occasions, winning 15 of his 33 races including ten grade ones. These include two Irish Champion Hurdles, the English Champion Hurdle, Punchestown's Champion Hurdle, Hattons Grace Hurdle and the Letheby and Christopher Supreme Novice Hurdle as well as being placed in two more English Champion Hurdles.

Now retired in Colm's yard, Brave Inca has been retrained and has won the "Racehorses to Riding Horses" class at the RDS in 2009 & 2011!! He regularly leads work on the gallops and is part of the team in Killena.

Raise The Beat ==> DUAL WINNER
(2005 Beat All – Autumn Leaf)

On 11 June 2008, the Winning Ways Enigma syndicate acquired this pacey individual for €22,000. A great mover, his sire was placed in the 1999 Epsom Derby while his dam is a lightly raced full sister to high class chaser Billygoat Gruff and has already produced a dual winner in Star Beat, also by Beat All.

Raise The Beat won his first bumper in May 2010 and followed up in a winners bumper in October 2010. After a wet winter, he was aimed at the Cheltenham Champion Bumper but suffered an injury in the race and was brought home in his own time.

Update Jan 2012 - following a scan, Raise the Beat was given the all clear and is now back in training with the target to have him racing again in April.

Tropical View ==> UNRACED
(2006 Definite Article - Glenview Lake)

Tropical View, pictured right, was acquired at the 2009 Goffs Land Rover sale for €24,000 on behalf of the nine member Winning Ways Dream syndicate. A lovely chestnut by Definite Article out of the lightly raced Glenview Lake who is a full sister of I Remeber It Well, dam of Megan's Joy, and a half sister to Grade 1 hurdler Tropical Lake, dam of graded performer Tropical Lady. Unfortunately, he has suffered a number of injuries since we bought him. Despite this, we have persevered as we believe he has the ability and he will go back in to training in February 2012.

Kimberlite King
(2002 Good Thyne – Daraheen Diamond)

A four time winner for the Winning Ways Aspirations syndicate, Kimberlite King (pictured right) was sold to Tim Vaughan to race in England. He should so well over there given the increased opportunities, albeit for much lower prizemoney.
