RIP DEAN LOGAN, LOGAN RACING @ ELLERSLIE

It is with deep sadness that Logan Racing announces the passing of Dean Logan. He was and will always be the guiding light of Logan Racing. He was practical, reasoned and always passionate about the past, current and future success of Logan Racing.      

Logan Racing is lesser for the loss but greater for the guidance and direction of Dean who will forever be etched in our hearts. RIP Dean.

Dear Donna, I was saddened to learn of Dean's passing today. Dean never gave up his courageous battle and will be sorely missed in the racing industry and beyond. He was widely respected for his commitment and contribution to racing, something no doubt you will appreciate more than most. My deepest sympathies Donna to you, the Logan family and Dean's many friends. Kindest regards, Nelson Schick

Hi Donna and Family, we are sorry to hear about Dean. Our deepest sympathy to you and Dean's family. Best Regards, John and Susie, Robyn and Gareth. John Sargent Racing Pty Ltd.

Dear Donna, family and all the Logan Racing team. Our sincere condolences to you all, on learning of Dean's passing. A terribly sad time for you all as another good bloke is taken to young. A battle hard fought but sadly not able to overcome such a cruel illness. On our visits to Ruakaka he always took the time to speak to us. Thinking of you all. Eric and Glenis Betty, Matamata.

Hi, sad to hear today of the passing of Dean. Condolences to all. Hope all goes well for Ellerslie on Saturday and the future. Kind regards. Ian Mueller (very keen follower of your horses for some years).

As Dean would want, it is business as usual for Logan Racing and the team will present runners at Ellerslie: 

Race 7 is the New Zealand Herald 1400, a Rating 85 Benchmark and 5YO Patapan - O'Really Impulsive gelding, To Be Sure takes his place at the head of the field. Owned by Mrs M L Bradley, M Corbett, A M Goodwin & W M Woods, he will be ridden by Sam Collett and has drawn barrier 4.

The feature race of the day is the Group 1, Ronald McDonald House Charities NZ Stakes over 200 metres and Rising Romance will line up. This 4YO Ekraar - Post Romance mare has drawn barrier 5 and will be ridden by OP Bosson for owners John & Victoria Carter, Brian Carter & M R Powell.

Good luck to all our connections.
