Lucky Eight Syndicate

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 fillies then enjoyed brief spells at Breckon Farms before returning to training for their 3-year-old season.

The 3-year-old racing in the 2025 season started with a bang, with Luby's Luck winning first-up in an unofficial (hand timed) NZ Record Time.

Six of the original eight fillies went on to win races and another is a multiple placegetter.

One filly was retired early on and six others have now joined her, for various reasons, leaving one quality filly in Pretty In Pink to race on as a 4-year-old.

Winners to date include OCEAN EYES (2:03.3, 4 wins, 5 placings, $74,427) who set a NZ Record for 2YO Trotting Fillies over 2200m from a Stand, WON AND ONLY (1:54.6, 3 wins, 3 placings, $48,386) who was Group 2 placed and is now retired due to injury, PRETTY IN PINK (2:01.1, 2 wins, 9 placings, $48,520) who has been Group 1 and Group 3 placed, HOT AND DANGEROUS (1:57.3, 1 win, 2 placings, from just 6 starts, $23,053) now retired due to injury, LUBY'S LUCK (1 win, $17,420) who set an unofficial NZ Record for 3YO Trotting Fillies over 2000m from a Stand and is now retired, TWISTED SISTER (1:58.5, 1 win from just 2 starts, $9,150) now retired due to injury.

PRETTY IN PINK completed her spell at Breckon Farms and returned to training in January, so we are looking forward to an exciting 4-year-old season with this classy filly.
