Brutal - New Winner

Andrew Forsman is no stranger to big-race success on Caulfield Cup Day, and he is hoping the 2024 edition of one of Australia’s biggest racedays will deliver more of that winning feeling.

Newgate Farm mare Ariaz (Charge Forward) was herself a Group placed 2YO who has already proven herself as an effective producer.

It’s been another huge week for the Cambridge Stud team with Group I success courtesy of Snazzytavi, a new stakes-winner for Embellish in homebred mare Luberon and a new stakes-winner bred and sold by the farm in El Castello.

The Group III James Squire Angst Stakes plays a minor role amidst a sea of multi-million dollar races at Randwick on Everest Day, but it presents a chance for Hinged to break a drought stretching back over two and a half years.

Here is the full list of 40 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Down to the business end of the season, and Saturday's Group III Sportsbet South Australian Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville provides Brutal with three chances of ending a successful first season and joining Pierata and Exceedance with two stakes-winners.

This weekend is a pivotal one in terms of the Australian General Sires List with the $20million Everest (1200m) and $5million Caulfield Cup (2400m)and King Charles Stakes (1600m) poised to deliver a big shake up and there is only one stallion that has a legitimate contender in all three races and that is a feat in itself given the distance range involved and the quality.

The NZB Ready to Run Sale’s class of 2023 has wasted little time in delivering returns to buyers with several having already won races, including highly impressive starts to the careers of three of the highest-priced lots.

Newgate Farm's Brutal put his name in the mix for the number of individual winners for a first-season sire when Heinous opened her winning account with a dominant performance in the Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier Hcp (1000m) at Sandown-Hillside on Saturday.

The departure of 10-time Group One winner Imperatriz has done little to slow Te Akau Racing’s progress in Australia, and trainer Mark Walker hopes the stable’s strong spring momentum will continue at Caulfield on Saturday.
