Grunt - New Winner

It’s been a phenomenal start to the year for Anthony and Kristen Evans and their ‘hands on’ approach at Hunter Valley nursery HP Thoroughbreds having bred and sold their first Group I winner Skybird and for good measure they also sold their highest priced yearling so far.

An incredible line-up of the finest fillies and mares to be offered at public auction this year has been finalised for the Inglis Chairman’s Sale, for which the catalogue is now available online.

Despite being easy in betting, the Grunt filly Dancer For Money made short work of a field of six debutants in the Geelong Homes Maiden Plate (1130m) for two-year-olds at Geelong on Friday.

Highview Stud's Group I winning son of High Chaparral, Wrote was represented by two winners in Hong Kong on Sunday.

Bidding for the 2025 National Online Yearling Sale closes tonight from 6pm (NZT), with the quality 102-lot catalogue available to bid and view on Gavelhouse Plus.

The $750,000 Group I VRC Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m) is the first staying test for the three year-old fillies of the autumn and there is a raging hot favourite in VRC Oaks queen Treasurethe Moment, but with the track rated a heavy 9 this morning it does raise a slight question mark as there are only two fillies in the field that have won in the heavy and she’s not one of them.

Favourite backers breathed a collective sigh of relief when a small margin victory went the way of $1.50 chance Ceolwulf in a photo-finish to the $300,000 Group II ATC Neville Sellwood Stakes (2000m) at Rosehill on Tuesday.

Here is the full list of 17 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Well related Brutal colt Nepotism turned heads when charging to the line for a close third on debut to Tentyris in the Group II ATC Todman Stakes last month and he confirmed that potential when defying a betting drift to win the $250,000 Group III ATC Baillieu Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on Tuesday.

Connections of top-class mare Joliestar will wait until later this week before making a call on her involvement at Randwick at the weekend.
