 Tavisan with Dominique Ind at the Beaudesert Show Former OnTrack galloper Tavisan is relishing his new life in the show ring, recording another victory last weekend at the Beaudesert show. Tavisan is now owned by talented young horsewomen Dominique Ind. Ind also rehomed former Ontrack galloper in the sixteen year-old Rock Academy, with the pair enjoying their off track retirements in the Gold Coast hinterland. Dominique has extensive experience in various stables in South East Queensland, and is currently playing a key role in the Bevan Laming stables at the Gold Coast and Jacob’s Wells. At only his second show ring appearance, Tavisan won the ANSA led gelding over 15.2 hh class at Beaudesert. Tavisan will next appear in the showring at the Mullumbimby show on 8 November. 
Now a nine year-old, Tavisan had 45 Starts winning 8 times and placing on a further 13 occasions earning A$467,160. He was prepared initially in New Zealand having 4 starts under Matamata trainer Jacob McKay including an unplaced effort in the Group 1 Sistema Stakes at Ellerslie as a two year-old. Transferred to Melbourne trainer Mick Price, Tavisan won on his Australian debut at Cranbourne. He was then runner up at Listed level at Moonee Valley when second behind Brutal, before placing third in the Group 2 Danehill stakes behind Encryption at Flemington. Tavisan also recorded Victorian black type placings when runner up in the Group 3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude, third in the Group 2 Australia stakes at Moonee Valley and the Listed Doveton Stakes at Caulfield. He also won the Apache Cat Classic at Cranbourne, as well as victories at Sandown, Moone Valley and Caulfield (twice). Tavisan was switched to the care of Kris Lees to finish his career under his dual stables at Newcastle and the Gold Coast. He won three times for Lees in Queensland, twice at the Sunshine Coast and also in track record time on the Gold Coast polytrack. Tavisan was black typed placed in Queensland when third at Listed level at Doomben, before being retired in May 2023. Tavisan was originally purchased by Ontrack’s Grant Morgan for NZ $135,000 at the 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale. A much loved member of the OnTrack racing team and adored by his ownership group, we are so thrilled Tavisan is flourishing in retirement in the very best of care.
