STUDLEIGH KRISTEN, WINNER OF THE INAUGURAL HARNESS BREEDERS NSW LADYSHIP PACE
​
The first of the Harness Breeders NSW Ladyship Pace Mares Race Series was run on Thursday evening the 15th of February 2018 at Penrith / Club Paceway.
​
The race was won by the talented 5 year old mare STUDLEIGH KRISTEN, a daughter of KENNETH J from the VILLAGE JASPER mare INNOCENT JASPER.
​
This win was a real family affair as STUDLEIGH KRISTEN is trained by Leigh Davis, driven by his son Jake and owned by R Davis.
​
The Davis Clan are seventh generation Dairy Farmers and the proud proprietors of Studleigh Dairy Farm and Studleigh Pacing Stables at Browns Creek in NSW.
​
STUDLEIGH KRISTEN was bred by Brooklyn Lodge, Aberdeen the Davis Clan purchased “Kristen” as a yearling, broke her in but considered her too immature to race as a 2 year old. She won her first start as a 3 year old and was never unplaced throughout her 3 year old career. She continues to be a very consistent race mare – her half-brother BRAD'S LUCK also raced and won the second race on the same night.
