Tragedy as boy, 10, dies and father in intensive care after off-road crash
Two other children were also injured in the accident involving the family which runs the stud where Aidan O'Brien stars Auguste Rodin, Paddington and Circus Maximus are on the stallion roster Tragedy has struck one of New Zealand's best known racing families following a vehicle crash in which a 10-year-old boy lost his life and his father was critically injured. The Schick family own one of the top studs in the southern hemisphere, Windsor Park Stud in Waikato, where the enviable stallion roster includes the ex-Aidan O'Brien stars Auguste Rodin, Paddington and Circus Maximus. But the community has been left shattered by the death of Jimmy Schick, 10, in an horrific off-road accident on Sunday, in which dad Rodney Schick, other son Oli, 12, and another child were injured. On Tuesday, Windsor Park Stud posted a statement on its Facebook page which read: 'In incredibly sad circumstances, the family kindly asks for privacy as they come to terms with the devastating loss of their dearly loved Jimmy. 'Rodney is receiving the best possible care from the dedicated team in the Intensive Care Unit at Waikato Hospital and further updates will be shared as information becomes available. "He is in a stable condition with a long recovery expected. Oli is recovering well with support from the amazing team in the children's ward." It is believed the group were on a hunting trip in a six-seater All-Terrain Vehicle in a remote area of the Schick's land when it rolled over. Police later confirmed that Jimmy Schick had died in the accident while Rodney Schick had to be winched out of the wreckage before he and the two other children were flown by helicopter to hospital in Waikato. Their condition was described as stable. A statement posted on the Windsor Park Stud X account added: 'The Schick family and Windsor Park team express their sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the outpouring of love, support and concern during this most difficult of times. 'We appreciate everything that has been provided and sent to the family - we are well supported and catered for at this stage. 'Thank you for your understanding and support."

Horse racing: Towering Vision claims stakes victory in desperate finish
Bergerson was excited about the future prospects for his charge, who he believes will get better with age and a step up in distance. 'We always liked the step up to 1400m, we thought he would also handle the track and he has just gone the right way of late,' Bergerson said. 'He is a horse we think has plenty of upside and looks like a really nice 3-year-old for next season. 'He has the ability to do it now and that is a fantastic result for his owners, for Windsor Park and Circus Maximus. 'We think he can go to the mile next time so the Champagne Stakes [Listed, 1600m] at Ellerslie is a possibility once we get him home and see how he pulls up. 'Fair play to him as well as he looked beaten when the other one went past him. He got a bit green and got lost but he kicked again, which is a credit to him.' Grylls confirmed his mount had run a little greenly in the straight but was impressed with how he knuckled down to the challenge. 'He hopped away nicely and put himself there before idling up to them in the home straight,' he said. 'He got a little bit lost when he kicked away and the second horse has possibly headed him, but to his credit, he picked himself up again. 'You would think 1600m will be ideal for him as he is a big, long-striding type.' Purchased by Te Akau Racing boss David Ellis for $105,000 during the Book 1 sale at Karaka in 2024, Towering Vision is closely related to multiple South Island stakes winner Who Dares Wins. His sire Circus Maximus, a son of champion stallion Galileo, will stand at Windsor Park for $17,500 + GST during 2025 breeding season.
