Puissance De Lune - New Winner

A rail-hugging ride by Robbie Dolan resulted in the well-travelled gelding Oughton opening his stakes account in Wednesday’s Listed Tattersall's Recognition Stakes (1350m) at Doomben.

The four-day Tattersalls December Foal Sale got off to a solid start in the opening session with a colt by SPACE TRAVELLER heading proceedings at 82,000 guineas and increases in the median, average and clearance rate from the equivalent day in 2023.

The Listed Gold Edition Plate and $3,000,000 Magic Millions 3yo Guineas heroine Abounding returned from a twenty-one-week break to capture Wednesday's Listed Eureka Stud Tattersall's Classic (1200m) at Doomben.

Here is the full list of 24 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The 900m juvenile maiden at Newcastle on Wednesday produced a quinella for champion sire Snitzel with a pair of unraced Magic Millions eligible colts fighting out the finish.

Tony Gollan believes he has a Magic Millions 2yo Classic contender in the Spirit Of Boom filly La Bella Boom, who opened her winning account in Wednesday's Portland Sky First Crop Yearlings @ Widden Hcp (1200m).

Ole Kirk’s first stakes-winner King Kirk was in action at the barrier trials at Randwick this morning, but in tragic news the winner of the Group III ATC Breeders Plate lost his life later in the day following an incident at the swimming pool.

Shaune Ritchie and Colm Murray’s stayer Nereus carried the colours of Waikato Stud to win last Saturday’s Gr.3 Counties Cup (2100m), and at Te Aroha on Wednesday, their exciting three-year-old Tycoon Prince put Cambridge Stud’s name to the forefront with an impressive maiden success.

In any other year Group One-winning mare Skew Wiff would likely be on her way to the breeding barn, however, with the level of prizemoney now on offer, owner-breeder Mark Chittick of Waikato Stud has decided to continue with her as a racing proposition.

As the breeding season winds down, the focus in the bloodstock world is fast switching to the yearling sales of 2025 and for the big colts syndicate investors it’s time to take stock and see maybe what has worked well and what hasn’t so we’re looking at all of the stakes-winning colts from last season and where they sit after the spring carnival.
