WHO IS PRIME THOROUGHBREDS?
In 1997 after a 20 year career in the Australian Army Major Joe O’Neill was looking to a future in cricket management. Joe, then had a chance meeting with Bill Mitchell early in that year and Prime Thoroughbreds was born.
All the Prime Thoroughbreds horses were initially trained by Bill.
When Bill retired from training in 2005, Joe split the horses and today has his horses trained by Kris Lees and John Thompson in NSW, Patrick Payne and Tom Dabernig in Victoria and Adam Trinder in Tasmania.
1003 wins and over $30,000,000 in prizemoney later things are going strong!!! Prime Thoroughbreds horses have won races at most of the major meetings in Victoria, NSW, Queensland, SA and Tasmania.
One of Joe’s biggest assets has been his ability to identify sires early in their careers with Rubisaki, Fituese, Seonee, Under Command, Xtremetime, Miss Divine Em, Zizzis, Unchain My Heart, Casa De Lago, Eramor, Rumeron, Sandasta, Embeller, Admiral’s Cup, Albert’s Image and Birdies Galore all being by first season sires.
This season Joe got first season sire Brave Smash right with his two Brave Smash 2yo’s Power Of The Brave and La Boqueria having won four of their six races. Kris Lees has done a great job with these two young horses.
Joe is proud to be a part of a sport that has given so much entertainment and pleasure to Australians for over 200 years.
Join us in racing this outstanding filly by Champion sire Deep Field out of the well related Nadeem mare Romantic Era. I love first foals out of young mares. John Thompson will train the filly for us at Randwick. John does a great job for us with Fituese, Xtremetime, Tillotson and Reneged successful syndications we have had with John.
WHY ARE SO MANY OF OUR SYNDICATIONS AMONGST THE VERY BEST HORSES BY THEIR SIRES?
Incredibly, so many of the horses we have syndicated have gone on to amongst the very best progeny of their sires.
I have listed some of these with the number of races they won and prizemoney earned. Also, I have listed the number of horses to have raced by their sire. For example, Rubisaki’s sire Rubick has had 416 of his progeny race with Rubisaki being his highest earning filly or mare.
