Shooting To Win - New Winner

Progressive Shooting To Win mare She’s Bulletproof scored her first stakes win with a dominant effort in the Group III Lamaro's Hotel Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes at Sandown on Saturday.

New stakes winners for resident stallions Redwood and Tarzino were celebrated by Westbury Stud at the weekend.

Last Saturday in Australia there were an astonishing 15 stakes races run in a time period most trainers see as being out of season, barring the Perth Summer Carnival, when we consider that our elite horses are programmed towards spring and autumn, so what is going on?

Just days after the passing of her dam, Charlotte Littefield’s gutsy Shooting To Win mare She’s Bulletproof captured the $240,000 Group 3 MRC Northwood Plume Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield, her second black type victory.

Peachy Keen capped a super-consistent spring campaign with a last-gasp victory in Sunday’s $50,000 Happy Hire Cromwell Cup (2030m).

TBA issued a statement on Monday regarding the Black Type debacle with all the usual rhetoric that leads nowhere.

Here is the full list of 14 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Stephen Marsh has his sights set on further feature-race success, with his proven performer Provence confirmed for Saturday’s Gr.1 TAB Mufhasa Classic (1600m) at Trentham.

Last Saturday provided Australian racing fans with a bewildering array of 15 Black Type events spread across four states, so with a newly minted Group I winner and a couple of other horses we see as having G1 potential, a closer look at the pedigrees got me thinking.

The 2026 NZB National Yearling Sales (January 25-29) offers buyers the cream of the New Zealand crop and in the weeks leading up to the sale we’ll go looking for pedigrees of interest for a myriad of reasons.
