Justify - New Winner

It’s been a memorable week for Star Thoroughbreds having sold their multiple Group winning mare Olentia for $2.6million and then the purple and white stars were back in the winner’s circle at Canterbury on Wednesday carried by 3YO Extreme Choice colt Estremo.

Quality Justify (USA) filly Lilac has been knocking on the door of a stakes win during the autumn and got the job done at Randwick on Saturday capturing the $250,000 Group III ATC James HB Carr Stakes (1400m).

Joseph O’Brien knows what it takes to win a Melbourne Cup and that was mentioned as a possible goal for progressive young stayer Sons and Lovers, who won the Group III Ballyroan Stakes (1m4f) at Leopardstown overnight.

Danny O’Brien enjoyed Group I success with outstanding colt Russian Camelot (IRE), so was understandably excited to produce his first metropolitan winner as a sire at Sandown on Wednesday and Censori comes from a family that he knows inside and out.

Here is the full list of 36 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Justify (USA) had a couple of very promising second place-getters on Saturday in exciting colts Clear Proof in the Listed ATC Rosebud and Dawn Service, who chased boom filly Autumn Glow and then at Wyong on Sunday he had a filly salute that also looks to have stakes potential.

The first foal by Grangewilliam Stud’s Group Two winner and multiple Group One performer Hilal arrived on Thursday morning with a filly born out of the well-related No Nay Never mare La Frox.

Here is the full list of 49 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Four heats for juveniles at Rosehill on Monday morning and winners by Snitzel, Capitalist and first season sire D’Argento with the quickest of the heat winners sired by Justify (USA) and trained by Annabel Neasham.

45 of the top horses in Australia will be recognised for outstanding performances during the 2024/2025 racing season at Racing’s Night of Champions.
