Dynamic Syndications first horse in the care of outstanding young horseman
Brent Stanley who trains his horses under the trading name of
Cloud 9 Thoroughbreds, toyed with his rivals over 1600m at Echuca on New Years Eve to record his maiden win and in doing so, gave our dedicated and loyal team of owners and connections a wonderful way to finish 2015.
NO PAIN NO GAIN 3yo bay gelding

The future looks bright for this
Brent Stanly trained son of REWARD FOR EFFORT with certainly on today's performance there should be more wins in store.
In another first,
Melbourne Cup winning jockey Michelle Payne was having her first ride for Team Dynamic and rode the horse perfectly to win eased down on the line by a widening 2.25 lengths by 2.25 lengths.
NO PAIN NO GAIN displayed excellent stamina over the 1600m journey. Allowed to settle after the jump, Michelle had the horse one off the fence, four pairs back, some 10-12 lengths off the leaders after they had run the first 400m.
The field remained strung out in this pattern until the 600m mark where Michelle began to ask our horse to improve and she angled him 3 deep as they hit the turn, allowing
No Pain No Gain plenty of galloping room.
As they hit the 500m the chase was on and despite being a long way back, Michelle had a lap full of horse underneath her. Remaining calm and composed she had
No Pain No Gain balanced and making good improvement reeling in the leaders.
By the 200m
No Pain No Gain had worked up into 2nd position but was still 3 lengths off the leader and the even money favourite Forsyth ( Peter Moody).
Then the polish of Michelle and the craftsmanship of Brent came to the fore as
NO PAIN NO GAIN flew home the final 200m to go past the leader and keep going strongly through the line.
Michelle Payne with her beautiful smile beaming brightly as she returned to scale was interviewed and gave a positive report.
Michelle said:
"the instructions were to just let him find his feet early because last start a bit went wrong for him just through circumstances and he didn't do a lot but today it worked out nicely and he was good."
"Still he had to make up a fair bit of ground and he did it very well."
"He had a lot of ground to make up and it was a progressive win and it's great to get a win for Brent and the Team as I haven't had too many rides for him (trainer Brent Stanley) in the past so hopefully onwards and upwards from here."
"I can't see why he can't get out to a trip from here, the main thing would be just to let him find his feet early and make one run on him and hopefully, he can pick up a few more."
Dynamic on behalf of the owners, gave the horse to Brent Stanley to train only a matter of a few weeks ago and the horse has continued to go the right way. That was just his 4th start for Brent now for a win and a second.
This is Dynamic Syndications first horse we have given to Brent and we have been very impressed with the progress of the horse and the information flow we have been receiving.
It's been a wonderful way to start the new relationship and we will be building upon this in the years ahead as we have identified Brent Stanley as one of the shinning lights in the emerging young trainers class.
Congratulations to our terrific team of owners that race NO PAIN NO GAIN
