During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Mark prepared an excellent team of standardbreds spearheaded by Gancia Guy, a New Zealand-bred gelding who won 19 races for the stable while banking more than $120,000.<\/p>\n
Gancia Guy contested several feature events including the likes of the Treuer Memorial, Newcastle Mile, Miracle Mile qualifiers, J. D Watts Memorial, Bohemia Crystal FFA and the Newcastle Cup, among others.<\/p>\n
During such races, Gancia Guy was taking on the likes of such notables like Our Sir Vancelot, Christian Cullen, Jofess, Quantum Lobell, Kyema Kid and Young Mister Charles.<\/p>\n
Others sharp performers for the Callaghan stable include Parisology, Rave Moonraker, Somnio Denario, Culinary Delight and Strawberry Courage.<\/p>\n
As it stands, Mark has prepared close to 500 career winners.<\/p>\n
In more recent times, the stable has produced the likes of Vega Star, The Cid, Royal Gamble, Laceys Lad and Glenn Ford among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cDad has always had a handy type within the stable. He\u2019s pretty clever with a horse and I\u2019ve learned a lot by watching him do his thing with the horses,\u201d Tom said.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking back, we had a great upbringing with the horses while doing our sport. Obviously, Jack and I have taken on a career with the horses while Harry is looking at becoming a schoolteacher.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Mark prepared an excellent team of standardbreds spearheaded by Gancia Guy,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-65982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
