Sires With Winners - Thursday February 25

Reflecting on a brilliant Melbourne Cup Carnival that featured three G1 winning stayers all sired by stallions standing in Victoria it’s the perfect time to think outside the box and plan to breed a high-class stayer of your own.

Here is the full list of 37 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Leading Queensland nursery Raheen Stud announced on Friday the sad passing of their exciting young sire Top Ranked (IRE), who was euthanized on Thursday following a brief illness.

One of the best innovations at Breednet is our Family Search allowing you to look for all yearlings in a sale from the family of a particular horse, so for fun we’ve taken a look for any relations to stakes-winners at Flemington during the Melbourne Cup Carnival

Karaka graduate Captain Pluto (NZ) (Savabeel) collected the second black-type success of his career with a big finish to take out the A$125,000 Listed Luckygray Stakes (1800m) at Ascot on Saturday. 

Worth $1million, the ATC Golden Gift (1100m) run at Rosehill this Saturday is billed as a Group III race, but due to the ongoing ridiculous debacle of Black Type racing in Australia, the winner won’t be officially recognized as a stakes-winner.

Here is the full list of 52 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Newgate Farm’s Golden Slipper winning sire Stay Inside posted his third winner on Sunday with a debut victory for Lassified in New Zealand.

The Magic Millions Yearling Sale in January features 1221 entries (down from 1401 last year) and the break up of stallions is always interesting as it reflects the thinking of the sales company back at the start of spring when inspections were undertaken and entries being judged and finalized.

Juddmonte Farms and Aga Khan Studs are home to a couple of the best stallions in Europe in Frankel and Sea the Stars, both of whom have enjoyed considerable G1 success in Australia.
