Santa Ana Lane has arrived safely in Hong Kong. He travelled over extremely well on the flight. A couple of easy days before a light hit out later in the week ahead of Sunday’s race.

After another terrific performance in Saturday's July Cup where he placed 3rd, Artorius will remain in Europe for a tilt at the Group 1 Prix Maurice De Gheest (1300m) at Deauville on August 7.
We are super proud of the horse, having to carry top weight against the older horses.
Rest Easy Subzero.
You were one of a kind and you touched so many. Off to join Graham who cared for you like no other.
Your legacy will never be forgotten.
Vale Dean Holland
Thoughts are with his wife, four young children and parents at this incredibly sad time.
A talented rider who was a pleasure to work with, he did everything with a smile. You will be sorely missed by all Dean.
RIP
The End Of An Era
Following Artorius’ brave fourth placing in Saturday’s Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, the decision has been made to retire him to Newgate Farm.
He retires the winner of 2 Group 1’s from his 17 starts
🥇Blue Diamond Stakes (2YO, 1200m)
An absolutely devastating day for the stable with Steel Prince passing away at Eagle Farm. A warrior that won 10 races including the Geelong Cup & a Andrew Ramsden. He competed creditably in two Melbourne Cups, he tried every hard in each of his 34 starts.
Santa Ana Lane & @wstewart87 have just departed Melbourne for Hong Kong. Everything has gone to plan, his work on Saturday was very good and he is a fit and healthy horse. We are looking forward to the week ahead leading into Sunday’s Group 1 Chairman’s Sprint Prize at Sha Tin.
Shoals has been retired from racing & will now head to stud. She has been a fantastic mare winning three Group 1s at 1200, 1400 & 1600 metres. We look forward seeing her progeny on the track in future years. Thank you to @ArrowfieldStud & Jonathan Munz for entrusting us with her.
🇦🇺 🛫🛬 🏴
Artorius is locked and loaded on the plane at Melbourne Airport ready for his trip to England.
We couldn’t have him any better as he leave our shores. We were pleased with his jump out Friday and how he has done since.
Good luck over there 🤞🏻
