Quality sire Reliable Man (GB) has already sired two Group I Oaks winners and may have a third in the pipeline with Renaissance Woman (NZ) staking her claim with a bold win in the Group III MRC Ethereal Stakes (2000m) at Caulfield.

Reliable Man has a big draft of 13 to be offered by a variety of vendors and they include:

Lot 246 is a grey filly from Westbury Stud and is from Room to Rock, a grand-daughter of Champion Australian 3YO Filly Private Steer. She is bred on the same cross as Renaissance Woman, who is also from a daughter of Fastnet Rock, this nick producing four winners from five runners and interestingly three of those winners are Black Type horses with Renaissance Woman joining G3 winner De La Terre and the G1 placed filly Aalaalune.

Sharp 'n' Smart (NZ) wins G3 Gloaming Stakes - image Steve Hart

Set to chase Group I glory this Saturday in the ATC Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) at Randwick, Sharp ‘n’ Smart (NZ) showed his credentials winning the Group III ATC Gloaming Stakes (1600m) last week.

He was bred and sold by Gerry Harvey’s Westbury Stud and they have 13 two year-olds catalogued by his sire Redwood (GB) with highlights below:

Lot 20 is the half-brother to talented sprinter Norwegian Bliss, who was retained by Gerry Harvey and has won six from six in Australia and is trained by Nathan Doyle.

Lot 56 is a grey colt from Group II winner Chinchilla Rose, the dam of three winners headed by stakes-placed Rendition.

Lot 68 is a half-brother to stakes-winner Absalon from Danish Seaway, whose daughter Queen Margaret is the dam of Sharp  ‘n’ Smart, so this colt is a three-quarter brother-in-blood to the rising star 3YO.

Lot 106 is a colt from Group II winning Choisir mare Gold Water

Another sire making an impact in Australia last week was Satono Aladdin (Jpn), whose unbeaten three year-old Grand Impact (NZ) won the Group III MRC Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield with the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes his end game for  spring.

There is only one entry by Satono Aladdin and it’s Lot 236, a colt from Red Magnolia, an unraced Red Ransom (USA) mare from the family of Group I winner and $2.7 million earner Royal Descent.
