Sires With Winners - Thursday November 14

Spring is sprung, but with G1 racing in Perth and the Magic Millions extravaganza of sales and racing set to unfold in January there is plenty of excitement in our world to inspire new owners into the sport and a bargain priced filly with an x-ray issue was the biggest story on Breednet from last weekend.

The first foals of first season sires are always among the most popular on the Foal Gallery so with the 2024 foaling season pretty much complete we’ll recap some that came this year, starting with Jacquinot.

A star studded opening session of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale is underway and before the Sceptre Session started Australian trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr and bloodstock agent Dermont Farrington found value paying 170,000 guineas for Group placed filly Ring True, while Yulong buying as Willingham snapped up a mare in foal to Too Darn Hot.

Just days after her sire All American passed away at Geisel Park in WA, his best ever offspring Yankee Rose produced a new winner in Japan to add further lustre to her burgeoning record as broodmare.

With the rich Magic Millions 2YO Classic looming large on the horizon there has been a lot of trial activity through the month of November, so if you are looking for a catch up to see what first season sires have something coming in the pipeline read on.

Caught U Looking was the star turn on the opening day of the Tattersalls December Mares Sale, selling to Yulong, buying as Willingham, for 1,800,000 guineas on an opening day that saw significant increases across the board and five lots sell for 500,000 guineas or more.
