Sires With Winners - Wednesday February 16

High class three-year-old Autumn Boy may not have a New Zealand suffix next to his name, but his Kiwi roots run deep.

Promising colt Yamato Satona made an impressive start to his racing career at Arawa Park on Sunday, kicking off a winning treble for his trainers Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott.

Exciting spring racing continued at Caulfield on Saturday with three Group I races all won by first time G1 winners and there was a distinct Kiwi flavour in the air with all of them featuring the mighty Zabeel in their pedigree.

Here is the full list of 108 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

It’s been a challenging few weeks in Australia for the Yulong team with the defeat of their star performers Treasurethe Moment, Via Sistina (IRE) and Vinrock, while Everest contender Private Harry also faded out of the picture, but in the UK overnight their colours were back in a G1 winning vein aboard Gewan.

The Breednet foal gallery has been kept particularly busy of late so time to take a look at some of the recent arrivals by first season sires.

After a couple of unlucky runs in big races this season, Antipodean (NZ) (Derryn) turned his fortunes around at Selangor on Sunday with a deserved victory in the RM300,000 NZB Ready to Run Sale Championship (1400m). 

Plenty of drama has surrounded Ka Ying Rising ahead of Saturday’s A$20 million The Everest (1200m) at Randwick, but trainer David Hayes assures everything is fine with the Kiwi-bred sprinting sensation.

Here is the full list of 61 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

NZB had more than one reason to celebrate the front-running triumph by Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit) in the A$1m Group One Might And Power Stakes (2000m) at Caulfield on Saturday.
