The Autumn Sun - New Winner

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.

Two key runners in the Group I VRC Lightning Stakes on Saturday that both have winning hopes come from the same female family and it’s a family that is well represented at upcoming sales!

Fillies by The Autumn Sun have really proven their worth at a high level and Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman produced a debut two year-old winner by him at Ballarat on Sunday that really caught the eye.

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.
