Sires With Winners - Wednesday January 11

Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) and Aushorse have today outlined their new structure and leadership team.

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.

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.

Improving off a debut fifth, the Anthony and Sam Freedman trained Godtfred Kirk (Ole Kirk) appreciated the step up to 1400m, with the half-brother to Golden Slipper winner Mossfun breaking his maiden in Wednesday’s Sportsbet Jockey Watch Plate at Sandown.

Victoria’s Blue Gum Farm have announced the first foal for their freshman stallion Oxley Road overnight.

With bigger plans ahead, be it this campaign or the next, connections have themselves a lovely filly for the future as the Kris Lees trained Cantiamo resumed on the Kensington track with a first up victory.

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).

A date with well credentialled new stallion More Than Looks awaits today’s Inglis Digital August (Early) sale-topper Cleo Cat, which sold to Yulong for $355,000.

Making his third race day appearance off the back of a pleasing second last time out, 3yo colt Sixties highlighted his potential class with the Chris Waller trained brother to multiple Group 1 winner Artorius pulling clear by more than seven lengths!
