Sires With Winners - Monday October 28

Don Goodwin, the breeder of 11-time Group One winner Verry Elleegant, has passed away, aged 86.

Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh light heartedly suggested he was still waiting for his Christmas presents prior to racing commencing at Ellerslie on Boxing Day, but didn’t take long to fill his stocking with Provence taking out the Westbury Stud Royal Descent Stakes (1400m).

An exciting group of rookie stallions will have their first yearlings going through the Karaka sale ring late next month.

Here is the full list of 9 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Here is the full list of 27 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Firstly we’d like to thank everyone for taking an interest in our foal gallery and supporting their favourites, but there was always a sentimental top pick for many and the most famous foal in the country has now won his first race!

Osteria was only upstaged by his talented older stablemate last time out, and back in his own age group, the gelding will be a contender in Thursday’s Gr.2 Shaw’s Wire Ropes Auckland Guineas (1400m) at Ellerslie.

Debbie Kepitis and her family have spent months pondering on what to call the most expensive yearling ever sold in Australia and the Pierro filly from Winx will start 2025 with a name.

There is always a flurry of trial activity all around Australia before the frenzy of Christmas and New Year racing so it’s worth a look at the Breednet unraced trial report to see what first season sires have some smoke on the horizon that could well turn into fire.

Wexford Stables are bullish about landing a couple of knockout blows at Ellerslie on Boxing Day.
