Sires With Winners - April 30

Here is the full list of 48 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Westbury Park stallion A Lot (USA) has earned another service fee increase following an outstanding season highlighted by his brilliant 2yo Sir Dreamalot and his classic 3yo colt A Lot Of Good Men.

With his service fee pushed to $110,000 in Australia this spring, Darley shuttler Too Darn Hot (GB) was on the board overnight with the first stakes-winner from his second crop in the Northern Hemisphere with promising filly Hot Darling taking out the Listed Prix des Reves d’Or Jacques Bouchara (1000m) at Vichy in France.

The Group II Dante Stakes (1m2 ½ f) was run overnight with another favourite rolled and the winner not entered for the Epsom Derby, but his trainer William Haggas may supplement the Night of Thunder colt into the iconic Classic next month.

There was an interesting set of trials at Rosehill on Friday morning with Brisbane Winter Carnival prospects In Secret and Schwarz both winning heats and there were also seven two year-old winners including unraced colts by Written Tycoon and Zoustar.

Multi-talented horseman Chad Ormsby has had a year to remember with four black-type victories to his credit.

There will be no shortage of hard luck stories emanating from Friday’s $200,000 Listed Darley Scone Cup (1600m), but little can be taken away from the winner, Sky Lab.

We’re a week out from the Thoroughbred Sport Horse Association National Titles at Stonewall Equestrian and with some 300 off the track thoroughbreds set to take part in the four day event (May 23 – 26) there are a lot of excited riders out there, me included!

The Champion European 2YO in 2019, Darley shuttler Pinatubo (IRE) has sired his first winner with the Karl Burke trained colt Andesite winning on debut at York overnight.

Over 340 industry leaders, clients and supporters, attended the Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association 2024 Annual Awards in Scone to recognise the Hunter’s elite equine athletes.
