shuttle sires arrived last Saturday and have settled back into their surrounds with exciting times ahead for Wootton Bassett (GB), whose first yearlings lit up Australasian sale rings this year and St Mark’s Basilica (Fr), whose first locally bred yearlings will sell in 2025.

All eyes will be on the first Aussie bred Wootton Bassett (GB) two year-olds this season.

The European Horse of the Year in 2021, St Mark’s Basilica was a Group I winner at two and even better at three retiring as a five time Group I winner from 1400 to 2100m. His speed, versatility and sheer class made him an exceptional racehorse and those attributes have the potential to make him a significant sire for the future.

St Mark's Basilica (FR) is all class - five G1 wins!

Churchill (IRE) sired his first Aussie Group I winner last season in Attrition, plus three more stakes-winners here and Starspangledbanner is enjoying a benchmark start to 2024 with three Group I winners worldwide since January 1, two of them in Hong Kong including the Aussie bred Beauty Eternal.
