Golden Rose Brings Second Season Shake Up

Tara Madgwick - Monday September 29

We are two months into a new racing season and the second season sires table was given a good shake up over the weekend with the $1million Group I Golden Rose and $300,000 Group II Stutt Stakes both producing a quinella for sires in this cohort.

Darley based Bivouac leads the second season sires table by earnings.

Bivouac has surged to the top of the table courtesy of his brilliant colt Beiwacht scoring a course record breaking win in the Golden Rose over Wootton Bassett (GB)’s perennial bridesmaid Wodeton.

One Wootton Bassett colt who is a maiden no more is West of Swindon, who broke the ice with a front running  victory in the Stutt Stakes where he held off a determined bid from Ghaiyyath (IRE) colt Romantic Encounter.

A $425,000 NZB Ready to Run purchase, Romantic Encounter was having just his second start and had the flashing light on as a horse to follow from the race.

Ole Kirk was probably a shade unlucky not to have a Group winner as well with his filly Ole Dancer done no favours by a wide gate before charging home late to be beaten a nose in the $300,000 Group II Guineas Prelude at Sandown.
