Sires With Winners - Thursday January 7

Fourth in the Arc de Triomphe and a brilliant winner of the Group I VRC Turnbull Stakes at 2000m, there have been few classier winners of the Melbourne Cup than Gold Trip (Fr) and his very first foal has been born this spring.

Here is the full list of 32 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The foaling season brings so many interesting stories and when an email lobbed today from Matt Stevens of Edgar Park in Victoria announcing the arrival of a rare filly by Militarize it was always going to warrant a story.

The Victorian breeding industry is on the cusp of something seriously good with arguably the best broodmare band in the country located at Yulong and an exciting new cohort of first season sires poised to ignite – is it any wonder I headed south for my annual stallion parade trip this year.

It takes a bit of effort to get to Rosemont Stud near Geelong which is a solid hike from the main studs within easy reach of the Nagambie area in Victoria, but with superstar young guns Schwarz and Henry Longfellow (IRE) on the roster, Mitho and his team were always going to be a must visit!

In a comparatively short space of time Yulong have become a global powerhouse in the thoroughbred industry and nowhere more than in Australia, so when they open the gates to their headquarters in Victoria you can expect a big crowd.

Here is the full list of 23 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The spring carnival is rapidly approaching and midweek metro meetings provide a fertile ground for new talent to emerge so let’s take a look at the runners at Warwick Farm and Sandown today that hold feature race entries.

Ole Kirk and Farnan are two of the hottest young sires in the Hunter Valley and both had a new winner on Tuesday with one of those winners being our ‘One to Watch’.

Having his second start for the Chris Waller stable, Godolphin’s 3yo Exceed And Excel colt Burma Star had race fitness on his side as he ploughed through the wet to win the Keeneland September Yearling Sale Handicap (1100m) at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
