The Dynamic Syndications / Ciaron Maher Racing juggernaut keeps rolling through its gears. Together we continue churning out the city winners for our wonderful ownership teams. Last Saturday at Royal Randwick, we saw the return of our sensational 6yo mare I AM ME as she “flew” around the 1000m Randwick course, winning with authority over her gallant stablemate Bella Nipotina, to pick up the pointy end of the $1 million dollars on offer, from the first leg of the Sydney Sprint Series.

Speedy mare I Am Me maintained her excellent first-up record when she dug deep to hold off her fast-finishing stablemate Bella Nipotina in the Group 3 Concorde Stakes at Randwick. The winner ran an exceptional time of 55.97sec while Bella Nipotina’s closing 600m sectional of 31.81sec was off the charts.

Dynamic Syndications boss Dean Watt dented some Everest aspirations in Saturday’s Concorde Stakes with I Am Me but would rather an Invitation than a slot as the spring develops. While most would be looking for a call from a slot-holder, Watt lowered his sights to the next couple of legs in the Sydney Sprint Series – The Shorts and the Premiere Stakes – and the Invitation. “She loves Randwick, and we were fairly confident today with the way she has been going,” Watt said. “The Sprint Series interests us, but the race I think is perfect for her is The Invitation. It’s worth $2 million.

The richest race in Australia on Saturday was the $1million Group 3 ATC Concorde Stakes (1000m) at Randwick, which is seen as a starting point for Everest contenders and victory this year went to brilliant I Am Invincible mare I Am Mare, who held off a determined charge from the mighty Bella Nipotina. Both mares are trained by Ciaron Maher, and both turned in fantastic runs.

I Am Me is ready to be the joker in the pack in Saturday's $1m Group 3 Concorde Stakes (1000m) and enhance her own The Everest credentials at Royal Randwick. That's the expectation of owner Dynamic Syndications as they prepare to welcome back their smart sprinter this weekend.

On Wednesday, Team Dynamic wrote a story about the opportunities for owners to race middle-distance / staying prospects due to the constant decline of thoroughbreds bred in Australia to run at these distances. On Thursday, an article by Warwick Barr - The Straight Newsletter, exposes the plight in detail about how this sector of the market is suffering, and how Australian bred nominations for this year’s Melbourne Cup are at a record low.

On Tuesday 3 September, Adam Watt from Dynamic went out to visit Dynamic Team Member Shane Rose at Bimbadeen Park to catch up with him and discuss the development of several of our young, unraced, recently turned 2yo’s. These specific horses were those bred to be our Middle-Distance / Derbies and Cups hopefuls, who are continuing through their early educational pre-training.

On Monday Dynamic Syndications wrote about the success up-and-coming young sire ALMANZOR is having and the fact he sired the quinella in last Saturdays Heatherlie Stakes LR 1700m at Caulfield. Further to that story, on Wednesday a positive announcement has filtered into the market for Southern Hemisphere breeders and buyers via Breednet.com that young sire ALMANZOR (FR) (by Wootton Bassett) has been purchased outright and be permanently based in NZ at Cambridge Stud and will no longer be shuttling.

Ciaron Maher's Seven Winners in Four-State Haul on 31 August adds to their Massive August Tally. It was special Saturday for the Ciaron Maher Racing Team, as the country’s leading training stable for winners over the previous two seasons have raced to the front to start the 2024/25 season. It proved a rare afternoon when Ciaron Maher trained winners across all Eastern State capital cities, as well as South Australia.
