Yes Yes Yes - New Winner

The $100,000 WATC Magic Millions Crystal Slipper (1100m) at Ascot on Saturday drew a competitive field of 13 and Yes Yes Yes filly Yes Queen produced a brilliant performance to score a dominant debut victory.

Massive week of stakes racing behind us and we’re all a bit carnival weary, but we can take heart from the fact the Aussie bred stayer has not yet joined the Tasmanian Tiger on the path to extinction.

New Zealand Bloodstock’s 2025 Ready to Run Sale is just days away, set to take place on 12 & 13 November at the iconic Karaka Sales Centre.

Waikato Stud was a dominant force at Pukekohe with a hat-trick of winners, and the premier nursery is hoping their celebrations continue this week during New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale.

Here is the full list of 21 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

The winners keep coming this spring for Yes Yes Yes with a Kiwi trained three year-old primed for his G1 target race, a promising 2YO on the rise and a stylish winner at Rosehill on Saturday for the powerful Ciaron Maher stable.

Karaka graduate Captain Pluto (NZ) (Savabeel) collected the second black-type success of his career with a big finish to take out the A$125,000 Listed Luckygray Stakes (1800m) at Ascot on Saturday. 

Declining potency in terms of racetrack results in their offspring occurs frequently with even the best stallions as they move into the twilight years and the lessening of opportunity through declining fertility often exacerbates the issue, but in the case of Written Tycoon he’s not going quietly.

With his first Australian bred two year-olds running this season, Darley shuttler Pinatubo (IRE) was in the frame overnight in France with a new two year-old stakes winner Quiescent taking out the Listed Prix Herod (1400m) at Deauville in the Wathnan Racing colours.

Reflecting on a brilliant Melbourne Cup Carnival that featured three G1 winning stayers all sired by stallions standing in Victoria it’s the perfect time to think outside the box and plan to breed a high-class stayer of your own.
