Sires With Winners - Thursday May 20

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.

Two of Coolmore’s most proven and reliable Group I sires combined to give Torryburn Stud a promising homebred winner at Goulburn on Monday.

Here is the full list of 33 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Back in Australia for another season at Coolmore, Wootton Bassett produced a new stakes-winner in France overnight where three year-old colt Sahlan charged home to win the Group III Prix Daphnis (1600m) at Deauville.

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.

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.

A well bred Zoustar filly carrying the Rosemont Stud colours was a hot favourite at Ballarat on Monday and duly won like the good thing her price suggested.

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).

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.
