Kylie Sugars has a special bond with the emerging squaregaiter Ijustcalledtosay, a horse she bought from the yearling sales. Her late brother Greg also had a keen interest in the horse, eagerly awaiting its racing debut. Tragically, Greg passed away before he could witness the horse in action. However, Kylie’s dedication and hard work paid off when Ijustcalledtosay secured a maiden victory at Maryborough, marking an emotional triumph for Kylie after her brother’s untimely death.
Despite the bittersweet victory, Kylie remains optimistic about Ijustcalledtosay’s future in harness racing. The three-year-old has shown promise with subsequent wins and is set to face tough competition at the Hertz Melton 3YO 1MW Trot. Kylie acknowledges the challenges ahead but believes in the horse’s potential for success, aiming for feature events like the Nutrien, Vicbred, and Need For Speed series.
Ross, Kylie’s father, played a crucial role in identifying Ijustcalledtosay as a standout yearling at Haley and Chris Lang’s property. The trotter is now owned by a group of friends from South Australia, including former top caller Jamie Braidwood. With aspirations of competing in prestigious races like the Victoria Trotters Derby, Ijustcalledtosay’s journey in harness racing is just beginning, with a supportive team behind him.
Reflecting on her emotional victory at Maryborough, Kylie remembers how Greg would have celebrated the win, showing his pride and support for her achievements. Each race presents a new challenge for Ijustcalledtosay, with Kylie’s dedication and commitment driving the horse’s progress and development. The road ahead is filled with opportunities for Ijustcalledtosay to showcase his talent and potential in the competitive world of harness racing.
As Ijustcalledtosay continues to impress on the track, Kylie remains focused on nurturing his abilities and guiding him towards success in future races. With a supportive team and a promising horse, the future looks bright for this emerging squaregaiter, poised to make a mark in the world of harness racing and fulfill the dreams shared by Kylie and her late brother Greg.
