Blue Point - New Winner

Miss Twinkle shined when winning her maiden at Riccarton last month and trainer Andrew Carston is hoping for a repeat performance when he returns to his local track on Wednesday with his filly.

Here is the full list of 28 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

A total of eight supplementary entries have been confirmed for the Premier Yearling Sale, taking the final catalogue number to 814 lots.

A colt that wins the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) is invariably offered a chance at a commercial stud career and champion sires Redoute’s Choice and Extreme Choice have set the bar high in that regard.

This report is always well read for those looking for insight into what these young stallions have in the pipeline as winners don’t come from nowhere, they come through the trials.

A $600,000 Proisir filly that is a half-sister to a Group I winner opened her account at Newcastle on Monday.

Third on debut in the Listed Merson Cooper Stakes, the Anthony and Sam Freedman trained Point Barrow (Blue Point) resumed at Bendigo on Thursday in the Avis Bendigo 3YO Fillies Maiden Plate (1100m) to break her maiden.

The Australian thoroughbred industry has a final opportunity to recognise its staff, with nominations for the 2026 Australian Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards (formerly the Stud and Stable Staff Awards) now closing at midnight this Wednesday.

Major targets for two and dress rehearsals for others add up to an intriguing day’s racing for a talent-packed Wexford Stables contingent at Ellerslie on Saturday.

The $300,000 Group III VRC Red Roses Stakes (1100m) at Flemington on Oaks Day was packed with interest as some very promising three year-old fillies lined up and it was progressive Blue Point (IRE) filly Point Barrow that arrived late to claim a valuable Black Type victory.
