Sires With Winners - Monday June 20

A brilliant run by Farnan colt Magill to finish a close second to Dream Roca in the Karaka Million on Saturday put the spotlight on his yearling three-quarter brother by Anders, who sold for $380,000 at Karaka Book One on Monday.

The $2million Inglis Millennium (1100m) will be run at Randwick on Saturday week, February 7 with a couple of new winners from last Saturday putting themselves right into the mix.

Day Two at Karaka and Maree McEwan was out speaking to some happy people, and along the way came across a very cool horse – he may have cost $950,000 but he seems priceless.

Here is the full list of 41 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The dizzying rise of Cambridge Stud stallion Sword Of State continued at Karaka on Monday with a sale-topping $1.1 million yearling in his second crop.

Trainers Darryn and Briar Weatherley were rapt with Bulgari’s runner-up effort behind Belle Cheval in the Gr.3 Almanzor Trophy (1200m) at Ellerslie last Saturday, and they are now eyeing further stakes targets at the Auckland track.

The Randwick trials on Tuesday morning featured some of the potential big players for this autumn carnival with the first three heats for Group and Listed winners well worth a look.

Yulong based Alabama Express recently set a new sale ring benchmark for his progeny at the Magic Millions when a colt from Navarro sold for $625,000, but that mark was eclipsed in the second and final session of Karaka Book One on Monday. 

Sir Brendan and Lady Jo Lindsay decided to support the milestone 100th edition of New Zealand’s National Yearling Sale with 100 percent of Cambridge Stud’s yearlings that were for sale this season, and that commitment was richly rewarded with a Book 1 triumph that they and their team will never forget.
