Star Turn - New Winner

The first yearlings by Jacquinot have been well found in the marketplace with Widden Stud’s dual Group I winner the leading first season sire by aggregate at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale this week.

With 84% clearance and rises in average and median on last year, Inglis Classic was undoubtedly a strong sale and that spelled good results for savvy pinhookers, so let’s take a look at those results.

Many stories are being shared this week centred on one of the true characters of racing, Stuart Dromgool, who passed away at age 90 at his Cambridge home last Sunday.

Rosehill trials on Tuesday morning saw six juvenile heat winners and they included a very interesting Zoustar filly that has had a change of trainer since her debut fifth in the Listed MRC Debutant Stakes last spring.

Wyndspelle, the Group 1 winner of the Grp 1 Captain Cook Stakes has died suddenly at Victoria’s Wyndholm Park Stud after a freak accident.

Group One performer Hezashocka has gone full-circle, returning to where his racing career began, with part-owners Shaun and Emma Clotworthy at Byerley Park.

The 2023 NZB Ready To Run Sale topper, Megastar Heart, made another repayment when opening his stakes account with an incredibly courageous performance in Saturday's Listed SEN Oxlade Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm.

Narrowly defeated at his career debut at Kembla on April 27, the 2-year-old Star Turn colt Megastar Heart went one better in the Golden Mile @ Darley Hcp (1400m) at Canterbury.

Here is the full list of 30 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Racing fans rejoice, because we are about to launch into serious Melbourne Autumn carnival action with the running of the $1million VRC Black Caviar Lightning Stakes at WFA, the first leg of the southern “Triple Crown” for the speedsters, and (since 2005) the first leg of the Global Sprint Challenge.
