Proisir - New Winner

Stakes racing aplenty over the next two days as we celebrate the end of 2025 and move forwards into 2026 with Black Type racing at Flemington, Canterbury, Ascot, Ellerslie and Sha Tin over the next two days.

Here is the full list of 62 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Home Affairs posted his first stakes-winner on New Year's Day and for good measure made it a quinella with his two strapping bay youngsters Kinnaird and Harvey Wallbanger fighting out the finish of the Group II Skycity Eclipse Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie in New Zealand.

Te Akau Racing will be tackling plenty of feature targets over the coming days, but one of their more interesting runners will appear on the undercard at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day.

Australia’s reigning champion sire Zoustar is renowned for the racetrack exploits of his progeny and also the high prices they command in the sale ring, but not all of them are expensive and Bennett Racing found value when they bid just $150,000 to secure one of his colts from Widden Stud at Magic Millions in 2021.

Stephen Marsh can make a strong case for each of his top-flight contenders at Trentham on Saturday.

It’s the first day of a brand new year and the first season sires list looks like this with Home Affairs on top from a pair of Extreme Choice sons in Extreme Warrior and Stay Inside, but what’s in the pipeline in terms of unraced talent for this cohort of sires?

The Listed VRC Bagot Handicap (2800m) at Flemington on New Year’s Eve was the last stakes race in Australia for 2025 and the cream rose to the top with race favourite Future History (GB) carrying 60kg to a popular victory.

Yarraman-bred and -raced filly Sylph will carry the green and white of Yulong in the $3 million Magic Millions Sunlight on Saturday, 10 January.

It may not have been on the horse she crossed the Tasman for, but premiership-winning Queensland hoop Angela Jones got her Group victory at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day.
