Sires With Winners - Friday, October 30

Victoria’s Blue Gum Farm have announced the first foal for their freshman stallion Oxley Road overnight.

Always one of the most interesting things in foaling season is getting our first look at the first of those stallions which retired to stud last season, so here’s a look at a few that have come on to the Breednet Foal Gallery so far.

Racenet’s Shayne O’Cass has stepped sideways from penning his usual racing stories in search of the next winner and has come up with a story about an exceptional broodmare.

Group One performer Faraglioni recorded one of her biggest moments on the track when runner-up in last year’s Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m), but she won’t feature in the renamed Proisir Plate at Ellerslie next month.

In what may be the strongest maiden we’ve seen in a month or two in Sydney, at least three fillies with spring stakes potential, along with an unraced blueblood, are slated to kick off their campaigns on the Kensington track on Wednesday, all coming off excellent trials.

Late bloomer Jethro Tull sparked another family celebration when he doubled his winning tally at Te Rapa.

Sirius Legend, the Dundeel half-brother to Hong Kong Derby winner Cap Ferrat got his head down right on the line in the fifth at Hawkesbury to defeat the well-related Sigma, himself a three-quarter brother to Hong Kong Champion Griffin Thewizardofoz (Redoute’s Choice).

Widden Stud’s new recruit Cogburn has arrived in the Hunter Valley with Widden producing vision of his arrival and first parades.

Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) and Aushorse have today outlined their new structure and leadership team.

A date with well credentialled new stallion More Than Looks awaits today’s Inglis Digital August (Early) sale-topper Cleo Cat, which sold to Yulong for $355,000.
