Sires With Winners - Thursday March 20

With Lindsay Park's much loved stable star Mr Brightside set to turn eight this year, the time is ripe for a new star to emerge for the stable and it looks like being another Kiwi bred in the shape of Harry Angel (IRE) gelding War Machine.    

It's Queensland's greatest race and just like Australia's other famous handicaps “The Straddie” holds a special place in the punters heart with a couple of wily old warriors at the top of the weights and mixed formlines making for intrigue aplenty as we search for the winner!

There’s an old saying about keeping yourself in the best of company and Victoria’s Riverbank Farm adheres to it better than most.

Racing at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday saw the Annabel and Rob Archibald trained For Better (Better Than Ready), a full sister to the stable’s Group 1 winner Port Lockroy break her maiden at just her third start for the stable.

Here is the full list of 34 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

In line with the current economic climate, Novara Park owner Luigi Muollo has made adjustments to the service fees for the stud’s four-strong stallion roster.

Kovalica made a welcome return to winning form when he prevailed in a pulsating three-horse finish to the A$1.2 million Gr.2 HKJC World Pool Q22 (2200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Bred and raced initially by Dorrington Farm’s Robert Crabtree, Zoustar mare Floozie changed hands last year and runs now for Yarraman Park, who sent her to Queensland to be trained by Tony Gollan and that decision is reaping impressive rewards.

Although it’s been a while between wins for Camelot stayer Sir Lucan (IRE), the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained 7yo returned to the scene of his most recent success some 12 months prior to the day, recording consecutive victories in the $200,000 Listed ATC Winter Cup (2400m) at Rosehill.

Here is the full list of 60 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.
