Training racehorses has ups and downs, and glorious days are interspersed with worry and sometimes heartbreak. It is moments like this that keep the people involved hanging in there for more of the same.

It was a High Fives day on Saturday for Kirk Swanson’s team and his very loyal supporters – three winners at Borrowdale Park, including Heir Line’s victory in the Republic Cup.

Congratulations Kirk and Debbie Swanson, Assistant Trainer Thomas Mason, Kylie Bonthrone, all the Gorringes, and everyone else who should be mentioned.

Memories are made of this.
