Waikato Stud stallion Noverre was represented by his first winner when two-year-old gelding Hailstones ran out a strong winner of a maiden handicap (1300m) at Scone on Tuesday for Annabel and Rob Archibald.
“I believe that in the two years it takes to get these horses to this stage that we have not left any stone unturned, and it’s a draft we’re very proud of and of the successes we’ve had.”
“He’s a lovely horse to have around and it’s quite enjoyable. We used to win a lot of races once and now to win one or two is quite rewarding just to fiddle around and have something nice to deal with.”
