An upset win at Wyong on Tuesday has handsomely
rewarded owner-trainer Greg Preston with his Tavistock filly Tavisky just a $2,500 purchase off gavelhouse,com.
Bought unraced from the Chris Waller Stable, the filly has now had eight starts
for Preston, who trains a small team at Cessnock.
Having decided to keep the daughter of Tavistock fresh, the approach has paid
dividends in the form of $24,225 in prizemoney to date.
"She blew up after her last run but has come back a different horse this time
in and has really developed into her frame," Preston commented.
"She is a highly strung horse that tries her heart out, whether in a race or on
the track so I will just try and keep her happy and won't try her over further
than a mile."
Another gavelhouse.com purchase in the stable has also returned multiples of
his modest $2,100 purchase price. Dr Kimble was billed as a slow-maturing individual when
offered for sale and has since won $13,000. Ready to come back into work,
Preston is looking forward to further success with the son of fellow
gavelhouse.com graduate Wanted .
The Chris Waller stable has heartily supported gavelhouse.com's venture into
the Australia market since site's launch there in November 2016 and has built a
reputation for selling horses that have plenty of upside in easier racing environments.
The Waller stable have three unreserved Lots in the current gavelhouse.com auction that features 12
racing prospects as well as a three quarter sister in blood to CHOISIR offered
in foal to Lyndhurst Stud's BETTER THAN READY who stood for $9,000 + GST in the
spring.
Bidding is set to close from 7pm AEDT on Monday 29 February. Register online to
