Sires With Winners - Wednesday July 28

Stephen Gray experienced plenty of highs with Silent Is Gold when training in Singapore, and he is excited to begin a new chapter with the gelding when he makes his New Zealand debut in the JR & N Berkett 1100 at Trentham on Saturday.

Potential Group One contender Golden Century will have his chance to shine on Sunday when he steps up to a middle distance on a roomier track.

Here is the full list of 35 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Vinery Stud have done a mighty job meeting the market at this sale and heading through Friday afternoon are batting at 100% clearance and they were well rewarded on Friday when selling a gorgeous I Am Invincible filly from Group III placed all Too Hard mare Saas Fee for $900,000.

Vinery Stud’s Ole Kirk has already sired two stakes-winners from his first crop of two year-olds in ill-fated King Kirk and O’ Ole, who runs in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on Saturday, and the son of Written Tycoon had a sales highlight at the Gold Coast on Friday when his colt from Pop Girl made $700,000.

Ahead of the NZB National Yearling Sales at Karaka at the end of the month, Cambridge Stud were hoping to whet the appetite of Australian buyers with a quality small selection of yearlings by their first season sire Sword of State offered at the Gold Coast this week and they were well received with three selling for upwards of $300,000.

Widden Stud’s investment in elite mares has been paying off in the sale ring this week at Magic Millions with an I Am Invincible colt from Nomothaj capturing the attention of one of the big stallion syndicates on Friday morning.

Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) and Aushorse have engaged leading recruitment firm u&u to help find their new chief executive, after incumbent Tom Reilly was appointed to run the Melbourne Racing Club.

When you have a client that has his heart set on finding an Oaks filly, Magic Millions at the Gold Coast in January might be seen as offering slim pickings, but astute bloodstock agent Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock has filled the brief with a glorious filly by one of Europe’s best stallions in Frankel.

Eureka Stud’s Spirit of Boom is the leading two year-old sire in the country right now by winners and earnings with four runners in this Saturday’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic including the top fancy La Bella Boom and he had a big result at Magic Millions on Friday when the full brother to former star Queensland mare Outback Barbie sold for $575,000.
