Ciaron Maher

He was out at Cranbourne yesterday.

Lots of news from the Ciaron Maher stable.

And speaking of news and big names, that's where we start today, because Chris Waller was out at Caulfield, a number of his contenders heading towards the Underwood, and Rupert Clark were there, and so was Racing.com's Ed Sadler, one of the best in the business.

And we'll kick off with Ed and Chris this morning.

So it's on its way out here.

Ciaron Maher has recently bought this from the Osbornes, and Saffy Osborne may well come out and ride this horse.

Yeah, it'll be a huge story.

So it's been ticking some nice handicap races over at the moment in the UK.

Yep.

So that's the only release valve for me is why I'm not bidding him for the, for the whole campaign coming is, number one, I do feel dry better and, you know, slash Maher.

You know, I'm not gonna exclude h- that stable from anything, but it was disappointing.

So here's me, uh, querying Ciaron Maher but, uh, there you go.

I'm gonna put it down there.

How often we talk about the bounce theory and, you know, off short breaks you sort of get one real crack at it.

The good horses are back.

Trent Mason-Howda has been out at Caulfield this morning, where a number of the Memsie connections were, including Chris Waller and Ciaron Maher.

We'll hear from them on their Memsie runners, plus a bit of a wash-up out of the weekend as well.

Uh, we'll also, speaking of, uh, big name trainers who have runners this weekend, we'll hear from Sam Freedman.

But let's kick it off with Trent Mason-Howda, who's been up nice and early speaking to the stars at Caulfield this morning.

[upbeat music] Placing their opinion on the line, it's The Verdict.

Certainly a big bit of spring, uh, flavor out at Caulfield this morning with Australia's two biggest trainers out there, Chris Waller and also Ciaron Maher.

And our main man, Trent Mason-Howda, was speaking to them both.

She looks a nice progressive thrilly, uh, filly, I should say, by St Marks Basilica, who's a good stallion on the rise.

Trained by Ciaron Maher in the First Light Racing silks.

I think she, uh, is one to follow.

I'll give you one to follow.
