G’day all,

My name’s Jaimie Varcoe. I’m a 40 year old Breeder/Owner/Fan from Sydney, Australia.

I’ve been around Standardbreds since I first started to walk and my oldest memories are inextricably linked with days & nights spent at the track with my Father & my late Pop…or wandering around at a friend’s Stud Farm or Racing Stable. 

I’ve been toying with the idea of starting up a Blog for quite a while now and I finally decided to take a shot.  My main areas of interest are Australian, USA & Canadian 2yo & 3yo Racing, their Sires & Maternal Families.

I make a point of watching as much US & CAN 2yo & 3yo Racing as I possibly can & focussing on the Colts in particular. I do this on the basis that it is almost inevitable that some of them will come our way as Sire prospects in the future. To that point I’ll be regularly updating this Blog with upcoming Feature Race dates, fields, free Links to watch the races Live via Streaming Video wherever possible.

It is my sincere hope is that Southern Hemisphere Breeders will take the opportunity to tune in, watch these races live and then make their own minds up rather than relying on the sometimes questionable or otherwise simply innacurate sources that have been available to us in the past. It’s basically my Don Quixote like tilt at the Lack Of Reliable Information Windmill. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll knock it down. 

Anyway, I hope you find something worth reading & watching here.

Regards

Jaimie Varcoe

Onward & Upward
