The Sarah Wall Stable experienced a first on Friday night, March 15 at Bunbury, with the team walking away with their first ever training treble.

Not only did they take training honours on the night, but the wins were even more special with the stable experiencing 100% winners to runners strike rate on the night.

Flyin Disco kicked off the celebrations, with the four-year-old taking the win by a head margin in race two on the card.

Paired with driver Jocelyn Young again in race five, Roman Legion and Bonsco Circus fought it out to the line, with Roman Legion coming out on top with just a head margin on the line.

With a treble in the cart on the night, the final instalment of both Wall and Young’s extremely successful three winners on the night came up in the last on the card, with the extremely lucky to race Pandoras Art.

As an unraced two-year-old, Pandoras Art suffered a severe setback that threatened her career before it even began.

With A lacerated Tendon seeing her spend an extended period on rest before eventually making her race debut back in November 2022.

After just six starts, the problematic filly was struck down by injury again, albeit on minor this time, but with a year away from the track, she has since returned to have 10 starts this time in, with Friday nights run seeing the now five-year-old claiming her maiden win.

“We all might have got a bit excited last night and they (the owners) ended up back here.” Sarah Wall said.

The rehabilitation of a horse with tendon issues can often be a taxing one for those involved, but Wall mentioned that the initial rehabilitation was done elsewhere before being sent to her care.

“She actually ended up at a thoroughbred trainer’s place swimming daily for a long time and once it healed, she was sent to me,

“The vets gave her a 50/50 chance of it holding up to race but touch woof it has held up perfectly so far,

“Eileen and Jeff at Westover have put a walker in recently at the stud and they are doing some rehab work on horses, they’ve had her on it as well.”

Other milestones on the night included Toby Lynn who drove his first double.

After making his debut and getting his first win on the same night in September 2023, the 22-year-old has now had seven wins and 21 placings in the cart, with Lynn making mention that he’s enjoying the ride.
