The demand for quality racehorses has perhaps never been higher than it is today. With foal crops diminishing in North America, the market for purchasing ready-to-race horses has grown exponentially. The source of most of today’s imported horses is Australia and New Zealand, with agents working feverishly on both sides to put together deals and have horses ready to compete almost immediately upon arrival. Tahnee Camilleri gave up racing for a brief period in her life to purse a law degree. Yet some years after succeeding in that area, she drifted back to horses. “Once you get it in your blood it’s hard to get it out,” said Camilleri on Wednesday after training a few. Camilleri admitted she was on a bit of a “Holiday” when she first attempted to train horses locally in 2010. “My parents wanted me to get my law degree so I had to go back,” Camilleri said. While her first visit was a bit of a lark, this time around Camilleri has come back with a purpose and a plan, and it is working out rather nicely. For those watching locally on the New York/New Jersey circuit, she’s sent out winners at a high rate from a limited supply. Her Constntlysidewys A has won three straight and now moves up the ladder for Saturday’s $20,000 featured event at The Meadowlands. “He was a good horse down there and raced against a few that competed in the Inter Dominion,” said Camilleri. “Saturday will be a test for him.” Constntlysidewys A has been vicious climbing the class ladder and sports back-to-back 1:49 1/5 victories for Camilleri who also owns the 7-year-old gelding. “His previous connections told me that he always tries incredibly hard,” Camilleri said. “He doesn’t train that way. I guess he saves it for the races.” Saturday will be an interesting test for Constntlywidewys A as his trainer will look to map out plans for the coming season. If he proves to be a high-class horse, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him race in the Levy Series. “He raced on a track that’s a sixteenth short of a half-miler,” said Camilleri. Bronskimackenzie A (post 10) and Threeofthebest A (post 8) will race this weekend as well for Camilleri, who didn’t sound excited about the draws for what amounts to 75 percent of her stable on Friday and Saturday at The Meadowlands. Bronskimackenzie A has proven to be a solid half-mile track horse this season and arrives for her first mile-track effort in Friday’s third race. “We’ll see how she does,” said Camilleri. “We thought Firebby A was just a half-mile track horse when she came over and she raced well at The Meadowlands.” Firebby A was a bright star early this season when Camilleri brought her over and she was sold soon after. Camilleri and her partner, who scouts for quality horses in Australia and New Zealand, have a business model that is unique and has incredible potential. With the market for horses as fierce as it is, Camilleri is hoping to take the risk out of it for future buyers. “I’m buying the horses myself,” Camilleri said. “We will bring them over here and anyone can come and sit behind them or have a vet look them over before buying.” Considering what has already come from this pipeline in 2018, there is certainly much hope that this concept can pick up traction. “My partner has a very good eye for the type of horses that can do over here. Not all of them can,” Camilleri said. “While the horses are being bought for me personally, they will all be for sale once they get here.” Right now there are just four in training and Camilleri believes the best of the lot is the one not currently entered this weekend in East Rutherford. “Ideal Lifestyle A is the best one of the group. I had him at The Meadowlands to qualify but he got nicked up,” Camilleri said. “He won his last start down there in 1:50 (2/5) and that was during the winter.” The outside draws this weekend could lower Camilleri’s impressive winning percentage, but she clearly has a bright future in discovering and advancing the future of talented racehorses.
