Sires With Winners - Tuesday August 20

The big guns were in action at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning with the likes of Via Sistina (IRE), Ceolwulf and Fangirl stepping out as well as glamour three year-olds Switzerland, Broadsiding, Private Life and Lady Shenandoah, but they have been well exposed through social media so we’ll stick to the juveniles and they also held plenty of autumn promise.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that if a mare is going to produce a stakes-winner, she’s going to do it within the first four foals she delivers, but there are always exceptions to every rule and we saw a high profile one last Saturday.

Middlebrook Valley Lodge had the honour of offering the very first horse into the sale ring at Inglis Classic last year when they sold a King’s Legacy filly from Vain Elaine for $150,000 and she is now exciting filly Open Secret, who is set to take her place in the $2million ATC Inglis Millennium next Saturday.

Shaun and Emma Clotworthy’s hopes for the upcoming Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m), Willydoit and Interplanetary, will continue their preparations for the $1.25 million feature in respective events at Ellerslie on Saturday.

Here is the full list of 68 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

In-form mare About Time is giving every indication she can master the ultimate distance of her autumn target.

G1 performers, siblings to G1 winners, dams of G1 winners and shares in several G1 winners and Stakes horses highlight another strong catalogue for the Inglis Digital February (Early) Online Sale.

Queensland favourite Spirit of Boom is having a hot run with this juveniles this season and posted his eighth winner from 15 starters when the Chris Waller trained filly Karinska saluted at Canterbury on Friday night.

Saturday’s Canonbury Stakes at Rosehill has been used in recent years as the starting point for two of Chris Waller’s superstars (neither of them winning by the way) and the race is often one of the autumn’s strongest leads so let’s have a closer look.

Following a busy week in Auckland, it’s back to business as usual for Mark Walker, with the Te Akau trainer heading back across the Tasman to oversee his Cranbourne base.
