Past Week's Stakes Racing Wrap

Breednet - Sunday August 21

Nine stakes races in Aus and NZ in the last week, obviously highlighted by the Group One winning return of Anamoe, but the rapid rise of Zoustar’s Zougotcha and Star Witness’s Fast Witness were also noteworthy, with both lightly raced and seemingly with more to offer.
