Hello Youmzain - New Winner

On Saturday 26 July, the New Zealand thoroughbred breeding community will gather at the National Breeding Awards — not only to celebrate excellence, but to invest in the future of our people and our industry.

Late-season black type is on the radar for Platinum Diamond after an impressive upset victory in Saturday’s Full Circle Appearance Medicine 2YO (1200m) at Wanganui.

Not all expensive colts stay on the right track even when they win a stakes race on debut.

The Listed John Turkington Forestry Castletown Stakes (1200m) was one of the few age-group features in the lower North Island that was missing from Lisa Latta’s CV, but the fast-improving filly Platinum Diamond dealt to that unfinished business at Otaki on Friday.

Lonhro son Sessions is riding a hot streak with two stakes winners in eight days after his three year-old filly Fancy Red lit up a gloomy day at Bunbury with an outstanding last to first victory to win the Listed Belmont Oaks (2019m) going away.

Here is the full list of 71 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Sebring Sun is one of those stallions budget conscious breeders will consider closely this spring with nearly 70% winners to runners making people sit up and take notice and one of those winners is Hot Bandit, who won the $70,000 Narrandera Showcase Cup on Sunday.

New Zealand racing has lost a highly respected and popular administrator with the passing of Ian Boyland at the age of 81.

As a Champion European 2YO by Shamardal, that did not win beyond 1400m, we might have expected Darley shuttler Pinatubo (IRE) to be a sharp juvenile sire, but that has not been the case in the Northern Hemisphere.

The 2025 Bloodstock Auction stallion cover charity auction opened on Friday night and closes on Tuesday July 15. The event supports Ronald McDonald House.
