*** 30% REMAINS ***
Fierce Dragon has just had an introductory prep at Tulloch Lodge, Randwick and has now gone to the paddock for a little break. We’re looking forward to seeing him return to get back into the swing of things in about a month’s time and hopeful of a Spring debut for him.
Here is his latest piece of work and a report from Adrian Bott before he went out.
We purchased this exciting 3yo gelding on Inglis Digital on the strength of his solid trial victory. Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott train the 3yo and are very pleased to be doing so.
Already named and a smart trial winner, FIERCE DRAGON, Gai & Adrian feel he will be a Spring contender.
We are syndicating him with NO MARK UP on the purchase price from Inglis Digital, so it’s as if you’re buying straight from the Trainer.

Trainer
Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott have been in partnership since 2016. They have been a dominating force in the Australian thoroughbred industry ever since.
The story of Tulloch Lodge began in 1941 when TJ Smith, Gai’s father, received his training licence. During the next fifty years, Tulloch Lodge produced some of the best horses ever to run in Australia, including the legendary Kingston Town and Tulloch.
TJ became the most successful trainer of Group 1 winners in Australia, training a record 282 winners at the highest level, and receiving 33 consecutive trainers’ premierships. In 1992, TJ handed the reins to his daughter Gai, who has become a racing sensation in her own right and has steered Tulloch Lodge to new heights in the 21st century.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Gai has trained 160 Group 1 winners, including eight Golden Slippers. To date, Gai & Adrian have collectively trained 26 Group 1 winners.
