Sires With Winners - Wednesday April 13

Here is the full list of 111 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The field and barrier draw has been decided for the Group I Melbourne Cup on Tuesday with favourite, and sole Australian bred entrant, Half Yours drawing in barrier eight.

The ever-consistent Watch Me Rock nabbed one of only two golden tickets remaining into the G1 Railway Stakes, with a typically gutsy performance to take out the 1400m G3 Asian Beau in an Ascot thriller!

Here is the full list of 45 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Godolphin have an exceptional crop of three year-olds and two of their exceptional colts landed valuable G1 prizes at Flemingto on Saturday over distances of 1200m and 2500m.

Derby Day! It's the race day for purists, when the biggest and best pedigrees tend to be on show, and their merits are tested over all distances.

It might not get the recognition of G1 status, but the $10million ATC Golden Eagle (1500m) at Randwick this Saturday has the form on the board and this year’s winner Autumn Glow is something seriously special.

Two weeks on from a luckless third in the A$20 million Gr.1 The Everest (1200m), Jimmysstar had a well-deserved moment in the spotlight with a dominant victory in Saturday’s A$3 million Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) at Randwick.

The late Wootton Basset was one of those stallions whose progeny can excel over all distances and he will have two runners in the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday and in the meantime we saw a taste of his merit as a staying sire at Randwick on Saturday when his French bred five year-old Wootton Verni (Fr) won the $750,000 Group III ATC Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m).

The Future Starsday of the Breeders’ Cup meeting at Del Mar on Friday always looked as though it could put the spotlight on Australian bred sire Starspangledbanner, who had key runners in both the Group I Breeders’ Cup Turf Juvenile Colts (1m) and Juvenile Fillies (1m) and he duly delivered with exciting colt Gstaad.
