The Breckon Farms – Lucky Eight Syndicate is the eleventh such syndicate established by Ken and Karen Breckon of Breckon Farms and officially commenced on the 1st October 2023

All fillies have made good progress, with an amazing seven of the eight having raced as 2-year-olds and five having won as 2-year-olds. They have also achieved a Group 1 placing (Pretty In Pink), a Group 2 placing (Won And Only) and a NZ Record (Ocean Eyes) – certainly a great achievement in their first season of racing.

Most have now enjoyed brief spells at Breckon Farms and returned to training.

The 3-year-old racing in the 2025 season has started with a bang, with Luby's Luck winning first-up in NZ Record Time.

Six of the original eight fillies have now won races and the other has already been a multiple placegetter.

One filly was retired early on and two more having now joined her, for various reasons and one has been sold, leaving four quality fillies to race on as 3-year-olds.

Ocean Eyes was an impressive winner at Alexandra Park on the 23rd May, so we are looking forward to an exciting remainder of the 3-year-old season.
