Sires With Winners - Wednesday June 18

It was a roller coaster ride at Royal Ascot on Day 1with an Aussie owned and ridden victory, a glorious grey, a high profile mare that refused to load and a G1 winner with no pedigree!

Waikato Thoroughbred Racing will continue a proud tradition on the Cambridge Synthetic on Wednesday, with the fifth edition of their annual Cambridge RDA Raceday.

Narrowly beaten by his stablemate Autumn Boy when making his debut 10 days ago as a hot favourite, $1.4million Wootton Bassett (GB) colt Central Coast got the right result at the second time of asking when leading home a Waller trained first four at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Star Rich Hill Stud resident sire Proisir continued his impressive rise from humbler beginnings with further black-type success from a weekend haul of five winners across Australasia.

The first two year-old race at Royal Ascot this year was the Group II Coventry Stakes (6f) with the Aidan O’Brien trained Starspangledbanner colt Gstaad sent out favoruite and duly cruising clear for an impressive win.

Lisa Latta will hold a strong hand in Friday’s two-year-old feature at Otaki, with Platinum Diamond tipped as her top seed.

Here is the full list of 29 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

There were some interesting maiden winners at Canterbury on Wednesday and they included the half-brother to Group II winner Stretan Angel who continued the current winning run for his young sire Brutal.

A small field of six, but plenty of quality in the juvenile fillies maiden at Canterbury on Wednesday with victory going to Kakadu Sunset, a first starter by Extreme Choice.

Although he was always going to have big shoes to fill, being a brother to Melbourne Cup heroine Verry Elleegant, connections would be pleased to see 3yo gelding So Suave (Zed) return to scale as a winner in Wednesday’s Become A BRC Member Maiden Plate (2070m) at Doomben.
