Entries for NZB’s 2024 Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds are now open, with the Sale set to be held at the Karaka Sales Centre on 20 and 21 November.  

Six of the European Darley roster will be available to cover southern hemisphere time this year, including Champion Australian First Season Sire elect Too Darn Hot (GB), who would have covered a full book in Australia this spring at a fee of $110,000.

Here is the full list of 33 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Ballylinch Stud’s Lope de Vega is very much a sire on fire this year posting his 17th stakes-winner since January 1 when Moyglare Stud’s new acquisition La Isla Mujeres won the Listed Roscommon Lenebane Stakes (1m4f).

Despite being a stakes-placed daughter of Redoute's Choice from a family chockful of stakes-winners, Pleiades had worn out her welcome after eight seasons at Darley Stud and found herself in the Godolphin consignment heading to the 2023 Gold Coast National Broodmare Sale.

The prestigious 2023/24 Australian Racehorse of the Year awards will be celebrated this year on Thursday, 10 October at the new $20 million state of the art Wolf Blass ‘The Man’ Event Centre at Morphettville Racecourse, South Australia.

Much missed Golden Slipper winning sire Sebring has several sons at stud and one of the quiet achievers is Glenthorne Park Stud’s Sebring Sun, whose 60% winner to runner strike rate has made him a great option for owner breeders chasing the dream on a budget.

A few weeks ago we made mention of the promising trial performance from Winx’s two year-old three-quarter sister Wings of Desire, who surged home for second in a heat at Randwick won by three year-old filly Are Ee Que, who franked that form when bolting in at Goulburn on Friday.

These stories are invariably popular and often shed light on why a stallion is doing what he is doing or what he might be expected to do in the future.
