As a broodmare Janine Jaccka has eight foals that have raced and collectively they’ve won forty eight races. Her best three foals have been Jaccka Jack (Continentalman) the winner of fourteen, Jaccka Justy (Continentalman) thirteen and Jen Jaccka (CR Commando) nine.

Now her daughters are starting to breed on.

The next generation are on the track as well with Jina Jaccka (Majestic Son) a daughter of Jess Jaccka, being the dam of Jaccka Baylis.

Of the sixty winners Brett Gray has trained twenty five, Murray Gray thirteen, Charlie Smaill nine, Jonny Cox six, Jonny Cox and Amber Hoffman three, Phil Williamson two, Amber Hoffman one and Nathan Williamson one.

Jonny Cox has been the most successful driver for the clan with twenty nine wins, followed by Nathan Williamson with fifteen and Brent Barclay five.

Charlie and Ailsa Smaill purchased Janine Jaccka from LDA Bloodstock more than twenty years ago and her first foal Jaccka Jack, was born in 2005. Her second foal Jaccka Justy was Charlie’s first training success at Invercargill in May 2011 and also Nathan Williamson’s first winner as a trainer. He went on to win the 2014 Group One Dominion Handicap when trained by Jonny Cox and Amber Hoffman and driven by Cox.
