A four-win horse in a special conditions maiden is a rare sight, and rapidly improving mare Lux Libertas proved to be as dominant on the Te Rapa track in Saturday’s Three Wise Birds (1400m) as she was on paper.

Cambridge Stud Spring News

It’s been a great week for Cambridge Stud having  bred and sold Group I ATC Epsom Handicap winner Ceolwulf and our stallions Almanzor (Fr) and Hello Youmzain (Fr) have also been making their own news.

Karaka Graduate Keeneland wins Listed Super Impose

New Zealand-breds have been a rich source of success for Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young in Australian three-year-old staying features, and that trend continued in Saturday’s Listed ABC Bullion Super Impose Stakes (1800m) at Flemington.

Almanzor Mare Exceeding Expectation

Andrew Forsman always intended to aim Positivity at Saturday’s Gr.3 Bart Cummings (2500m) at Flemington, but the Cambridge trainer has been caught off guard by what his rising star stayer has already achieved this spring.

Just 10 months after her career started, emerging mare Positivity (NZ) (Almanzor) became a three-time Group winner with a tenacious victory in Saturday’s A$200,000 Group Three Catanach’s Jewellers MRC Foundation Cup (2000m) at Caulfield.
