Sires With Winners - Monday December 16

Juveniles racing at Randwick on Saturday have the opportunity to run for a rich prize with Inglis offered youngsters showcased in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery (1000m) with a big field of 15 including two debut winners in talented fillies Within the Law and Gobi Desert, one of them sold by Yulong and the other purchased by them.

There were three heats for 2YO’s at Hawkesbury on Monday and also on show was Golden Slipper winner Lady of Camelot, who might be a fruit out of season as an elite three year-old tuning up for race day a week out from Christmas, but the lure of the $3million Magic Millions Sunlight slot race has enticed connections to curtail her post spring break.

Here is the full list of 73 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

It’s been a while between drinks for the connections of Field Of Gold, but the talented galloper looked back to his impressive best when taking out the JR N Berkett 1400 at Trentham on Sunday.

There were three new Australasian bred winners at Sha Tin on Sunday, a French bred Zoustar bagging his first in HK and a promising one for Star Turn taking his record to two wins from three starts.

Bjorn Baker is never afraid to get a maiden win on the board in the country with a promising horse and he did it with Group I winners Overpass and Steffi Magnetica, so when he unleashed an impressive maiden winner at Orange by Extreme Choice we were always going to have a closer look.

We got a timely reminder ahead of Magic Millions as to the merits of Arrowfield shuttler Maurice(Jpn) in Japan on Sunday when his two year-old colt Admire Zoom won the Group I Asai Hai Futurity Stakes (1600m) at Kyoto.

Saturday’s A$300,000 Group Three Grand Prix Stakes (1800m) at Eagle Farm marked a new peak performance for Karaka graduate Beau Dazzler (NZ) (Ardrossan), who has a full-brother in the catalogue for Book 1 of Karaka 2025.

Time passes quickly in the thoroughbred industry and a Group I winner that should have been sold at the 2020 Magic Millions, but instead found himself an Inglis Easter graduate had such a special temperament he was selected as the Christmas yearling for social media by the farm where he was raised.

It’s early days for the current juvenile season with only a tiny percentage of the crop seen in action so far, but as we head into the Christmas holiday period three of the top five sires on the two year-old sires list are all first season horses and that’s good news for Kia Ora Stud, Yulong and Vinery Stud.
