Too Darn Hot - New Winner

Flemington is done and dusted for another year, but Melbourne’s Spring carnival rocks on and programming changes continue, with the relocation of the MRC's time honoured G1 CF Orr Stakes from its traditional February slot.

Cambridge Stud's rising stallion star Sword Of State had buyers’ hearts racing in the early stages of New Zealand Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale with a top class colt selling for $500,000.

Back-to-back lots through the Karaka sale ring on Thursday’s second day of the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready to Run Sale produced unprecedented results for a pair of Kiwi sires.

Here is the full list of 33 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Monumental results were witnessed across two days of selling at NZB’S 2025 Ready to Run Sale, confirming the demand for proven racetrack results and quality New Zealand-prepared horses.

A small but select field of seven runners will line up in the $1million MRC CF Orr Stakes (1400m) on Saturday at Caulfield and a fascinating contest awaits for the first running of this great race in it's new slot on the calendar.

Pre-post favourite Affirmative Action will have to overcome a wide gate and a lighter than intended preparation in his shared bid to defend the stable’s title in Saturday’s Gr.1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m).

November breeding reminders, here’s the truth… some of the best are born late.

While it’s evident that 2yo Too Darn Hot filly Tomato Toastie will continue to develop physically as she matures into her next racing campaign, the fact she’s won two of her three starts this time in, clearly highlights her future ability.

Darley’s Too Darn Hot appears to have another promising filly on his hand in the shape of the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Tomato Toastie who broke her maiden by more than two lengths at Warwick Farm, winning the Asahi Super Dry Plate (1200m) at just her second start.
