Sires With Winners - Wednesday March 10

Declining potency in terms of racetrack results in their offspring occurs frequently with even the best stallions as they move into the twilight years and the lessening of opportunity through declining fertility often exacerbates the issue, but in the case of Written Tycoon he’s not going quietly.

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

The winners keep coming this spring for Yes Yes Yes with a Kiwi trained three year-old primed for his G1 target race, a promising 2YO on the rise and a stylish winner at Rosehill on Saturday for the powerful Ciaron Maher stable.

Bloodstock agent Tina Rau has joined the Aga Khan Studs as international nominations representative; a newly created role aimed at strengthening the team’s presence at the major European sales.

The results of showpiece races throughout the spring have delivered notable pedigree updates to the catalogue for this week’s NZB Ready to Run Sale at Karaka.

Waikato Stud was a dominant force at Pukekohe with a hat-trick of winners, and the premier nursery is hoping their celebrations continue this week during New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale.

With his first Australian bred two year-olds running this season, Darley shuttler Pinatubo (IRE) was in the frame overnight in France with a new two year-old stakes winner Quiescent taking out the Listed Prix Herod (1400m) at Deauville in the Wathnan Racing colours.

Massive week of stakes racing behind us and we’re all a bit carnival weary, but we can take heart from the fact the Aussie bred stayer has not yet joined the Tasmanian Tiger on the path to extinction.

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.

By champion sire I Am Invincible from a Group I winning sprinter, this talented filly cast off maiden status at Gosford on Tuesday in the manner of a filly that will be winning better races.
