苏格兰籍教练Liam Ruddy正在扩建自己的赛马厂，目前拥有10个马房，计划扩至65个马房[1]。为实现这一雄心，他将以102评分的Aviatress参加本周六在Randwick举行的二级赛Missile Stakes[1]。这是过去10年中最强的Missile赛事[1]。Ruddy以36万美元购入的Aviatress此前为前主人赢得超57.5万美元奖金[1]。
在人才储备方面，25岁骑手Shannen Llewellyn也迎来职业生涯的新机遇[1]。这位自2024年2月首次参赛以来已赢得152场比赛的骑手获得了三次澳洲冠军教练Ciaron Maher提供的三个月借调机会[1]。Llewellyn将从8月17日起在位于Warwick Farm的Crown Lodge工作[1]，其中她在大都市级别比赛中已获胜7场[1]。此举标志着她从原东家Nathan Doyle的转移[1]。
Liam Ruddy, a Scottish expatriate trainer, is building his racing operation with an eye toward Saturday's Group 2 Missile Stakes at Randwick, where he will campaign Aviatress, a horse rated 102.[1] The race represents one of the strongest Missile Stakes fields in the past decade.[1] Ruddy acquired Aviatress for $360,000, a mare that earned her previous owner more than $575,000 in prize money.[1] His ambitions extend beyond this single runner: Ruddy currently operates 10 boxes and plans to expand to 65.[1]
The trainer's growing stable reflects his track record in the bloodstock market.[1] He previously purchased yearling Tron Bolt for $250,000 and later sold the horse to Hermitage for $900,000.[1] Meanwhile, 25-year-old jockey Shannen Llewellyn has secured a three-month secondment with three-time Australian champion trainer Ciaron Maher, beginning August 17.[1] Llewellyn will relocate from Nathan Doyle to Maher's Crown Lodge operation at Warwick Farm.[1] The jockey has recorded 152 race wins since her debut in February 2024, including seven victories at metropolitan level.[1]
