Sires With Winners - Wednesday July 9

The Victorian breeding industry is on the cusp of something seriously good with arguably the best broodmare band in the country located at Yulong and an exciting new cohort of first season sires poised to ignite – is it any wonder I headed south for my annual stallion parade trip this year.

The spring carnival is rapidly approaching and midweek metro meetings provide a fertile ground for new talent to emerge so let’s take a look at the runners at Warwick Farm and Sandown today that hold feature race entries.

Rosemont Stud’s Hanseatic is on the board with his first winner of the new season after Humble Trader did a great job to win on debut at Sandown on Wednesday.

Here is the full list of 35 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

With wet weather in Sydney playing havoc with the trial schedule last week there was a big turnout for Canterbury trials on Monday with a key Everest runner in cruise control and several under the radar 3YO’s showing spring potential.

Last year the Group I Juddmonte International (1m2 ½ f) at York produced a virtuoso performance from City of Troy (USA), who will be paraded at Coolmore Australia this Sunday and the overnight renewal of the race produced a Pride of Jenni like spectacle before the favourite Ombudsman prevailed to win.

In a comparatively short space of time Yulong have become a global powerhouse in the thoroughbred industry and nowhere more than in Australia, so when they open the gates to their headquarters in Victoria you can expect a big crowd.

When a half-sister by Zoustar to Golden Slipper winner Farnan sells for just $250,000 at Inglis Easter you would be entitled to wonder what was wrong with her, but it turns out lack of size does not mean lack of ability.

It takes a bit of effort to get to Rosemont Stud near Geelong which is a solid hike from the main studs within easy reach of the Nagambie area in Victoria, but with superstar young guns Schwarz and Henry Longfellow (IRE) on the roster, Mitho and his team were always going to be a must visit!

In a highly competitive marketplace for young well credentialled stallions it can be hard to stand out from the crowd, so a well thought out plan to maximise potential ROI and raise awareness is one broodmare owners will find intriguing.
