Sires With Winners - Tuesday April 22

Thoroughbred Industry Careers have announced winenrs and place-getters from the National Pony Racing Series Final at the Gold Coast last week.

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!

Former jockey Herbie Rauhihi, who was revered by many young hoops in the Central Districts, has passed away, aged 86.

Here is the full list of 42 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Terribly sad news from Arrowfield Stud today with the passing of their much loved champion sire Snitzel.

Yulong are producing a large number of horses each year and one whose dam was offloaded last year for $5,500 on Inglis Digital has put together an impressive Hong Kong record with six wins and a second from seven starts with his latest victory at Happy Valley on Wednesday night.

A four time Champion Australian Sire in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, Snitzel was an extremely fertile sire that covered 3043 mares in 19 seasons at stud in Australia and attracted 100 plus books in every year since 2010, so his passing will cast shockwaves through the breeding industry.

The Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) to be run at Eagle Farm on Saturday has attracted a full field, plus emergencies and with $3million in prizemoney is a race that can have a bearing on the Australian sire tables late in the season.

Last season a $1 million boost in bonuses was added to the lucrative Karaka Millions Series with the introduction of the NZB Mega Maiden Series. It is set to continue in the coming season with the 2025/26 Series race schedule now available. 

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.
