Conatus
Young Danehill stallion Conatus, a member of the Denise’s Joy tribe, is doing his bit for the family’s reputation. Conatus showed plenty of the family speed by winning four races under the care of trainer John Hawkes for a large syndicate which included his breeder, Gerry Harvey. Unraced at two, Conatus was successful in his first two outings at three, and twice again at four before his retirement to Plaintree Farms on Queensland’s Darling Downs.

Brian Russell Farewell to Joie Denise
THE RAFFLE of breeding is shown by the mating records of the late Tommy Smith’s queen of the racetrack of the 1970s, Denise’s Joy, and her best racing product Joie Denise. Denise’s Joy missed in six of her 16 seasons and Joie Denise, a first crop Danehill filly foaled when her mother was 20, also failed to go in foal five times, including servicing by two stallions in each of the 2006 and 2008 seasons, and slipped once.
