Sires With Winners - Wednesday August 28

Standing at Alma Vale Thoroughbreds, Exceed and Excel’s superbly bred Group III winning million dollar earning sprinter Signore Fox has his first foals being born this spring and Verna Metcalf is happy with what she is seeing.

This morning’s trials at Arawa Park in New Zealand witnessed the first member of the Cool Aza Beel (NZ) breed make a very positive impression in the new 2-year-old division when Cool Aza Rene showed brilliant innate speed throughout to score over 800m in the colours of Te Akau.

Here is the full list of 23 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Ballarat trainers Tony and Calvin McEvoy are hoping they are in for an exiting spring with promising three-year-old Rue De Royale, with the ultimate goal being to gain a slot in next year’s $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m).

As the spring begins to unfold the cream is rising to the top in the third season sires table, but unfortunately for Australian breeders two of the top three sires on the list are not available to them this spring.

Once upon a time the official two year-old trials in Sydney were the biggest show in town to get a first peek at the cream of the new season juveniles, however times change and the trend to produce them later by many of our leading trainers means there will be just eight heats this year, but still plenty of interest.

The Save Rosehill group is petitioning for the removal of the Chairman and I would encourage all ATC members who haven’t already done so to have a read of the following.

Te Akau Racing is putting another Group One-winning mare on the market with the auction of Romancing The Moon (NZ) (El Roca) on Gavelhouse Plus.

Here is the full list of 41 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

At the 2023 Inglis Chairman’s Sale, Yulong splashed out on four individual mares that sold for $1million or more and all of them are due to foal this spring with $2.3million acquisition Icebath (NZ) producing a filly by the farm’s exciting young sire Alabama Express.
