Australian racegoers are about to see a lot more of the progeny of exciting Coolmore shuttler Wootton Bassett (GB), whose first Aussie bred offspring will race this season and today we saw a taste of what’s to come when his talented imported son Royal Patronage (Fr) scored an impressive first up win in the Group II ATC Tramway Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

The richest race in Australia on Saturday was the $1million Group III ATC Concorde Stakes (1000m) at Randwick, which is seen as a starting point for Everest contenders and victory this year went to brilliant I Am Invincible mare I Am Mare, who held off a determined charge from the mighty Bella Nipotina.
