Ben has been out for 4 weeks so far and is obviously enjoying his spell, he looks very well and has put
on some nice condition. He will have another 4 weeks off then commence pre training.

17 July
Ben ran third at Rosehill today in the 2yo colts and geldings race, he ran a nice race tracking the
leader and eventual winner. He tired a little over the last 100m, possibly from being on the worst
part of the track but we are very happy with how he ran.

"Went well, nice horse and going to be better next time in" said his rider Peter Robl

He will now go for a well deserved 8 week spell, after being in 2 trials and three race starts and
collecting $15800 in prizemoney. This will give him time to grow and mature, and we think he
will bettter next time in.

Our new race colours sure do look very nice and standout from the rest, as we expected.

3 July
Ben won his first race today at only his second start, a 1000m 2yo maiden at Kembla Grange.
Prepaired to the minute by Gerlad Ryan and aided by a brilliant ride from Adam Hyeronimus,
Ben took a split at the 200m mark and raced away to score by 2 lengths in 59 seconds on a track
rated Dead 4. It was a very good result for his owners, and justified Geralds judgement and
NuStar Syndications selection process at the 2009 Inglis Classic Sale where Ryley's Star was purchased.

18 June
Ben had a trial at Wyong today over 800m, he won his trial and pulled up ok, now we will look for a
suitable race for him.

11 June
Ben had his first start on Wednesdat 9 June, he was very poorly ridden and against instructions
which resulted in him finnishing 8.4lenghts 9th. While disapointed at the result, we are happy
that he has pulled well and is bright and happy.

1 June
Ben was to trial again today at Rosehill but due to track conditions he was withdrawn.

19 May
It has come to my attention that several Bloodstock agents have been offering Ryley's Star for sale to owners in Hong Kong without my authority.
I wish to advise all owners in Hong Kong that Ryley's Star was only listed with one agent after he sent me an email requesting a 2yo for Hong Kong.
This email is available on request to any owner who was offered Ryley's Star by an agent.

I am very dissapointed in the actions of these Bloodstock Agents and apologise to any owner in Hong Kong for any incovenience and wrong information you were given by unauthorised agents

18 May
'Ben' was to have trialled today at Rosehill, but trials were cancelled due to wet weather.

4 May
'Ben' won his trial at Rosehill this morning, 900m in 54.19 by 1.8 lengths his time was 3rd fastest of the 6 2yo trials, Jay Ford rode. 'Ben' was out 3 wide from the start so Jay took him to the lead and he held the lead to the line to score by 1.8 lenghts.

3 May
'Ben' has been working nicely and is doing everything asked of him, he had another jump out last week and has made good progression. He will now trial tomorrow at Rosehill, the trial is over 900m and will be good education for 'Ben'. Blake shinn will ride.

21 April
'Ben' had a jump out and ran up 300m yesterday, Gerald is very happy with how 'Ben' went in the jump out. He said 'Ben' did everything right and he was very happy with how he handled the work, jumping well and straight onto the bit and travelled nicely. He will have another jump out and a trial and then with all going well he will then progress to his first race start in about 4 weeks, fingers crossed.

18 April
Ryley's Star (Ben) is progressing well in his preparation, he has now been in work for 8 weeks and coming along nicely. His trainer Gerald Ryan tells me that 'Ben' is a very chilled out horse and nothing bothers him at all, taking everything in his stride. He has always been like this and this is a good characteristic to have, given the stress and pressure young horses are exposed to during training and on raceday. He is enthusiastic in his work and is enjoying being in Gerald's Rosehill stable, where a lot a very good horses are trained from by one of the best trainers in the racing game.

12 March

Selected by Gerald Ryan for NuStar Syndications at the 2009 Inglis Classic sale, Ryley's Star is a cracking type, has a very good walking action and is very easy to work with due to his high intelligence and very kind temperament		Ryley's Star looking nice and relaxed after his morning work. After an 8 week spell and 3 weeks pre-training he is now back in work with Gerald Ryan at his Rosehill stables		Ryley's Star on the left, just after his morning workout at Heritage Park. After showing some ability in his first preparation we are hopefull to see more of the same this time in.
