Sires With Winners - Friday October 3

Wexford Stables’ exciting juvenile filly Dashing Dixie is TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) bound following her debut victory at Te Rapa on Saturday.

It wasn't just about the winner of the $400,000 Inglis Nursery with a Pink Bonus collected and a Best Turned Out award also presented on the race won by Inglis Digital purchase Where's the Circus.

Boxers talk about “going the distance” and that was the million dollar question about Robbie Griffith’s tough Magnus gelding Rey Magnerio, who took his earnings to $2million on Saturday with victory in the $1.5million Group III WATC Gold Rush (1400m), the final feature race of The Pinnacles carnival at Ascot.

While it may have taken Kobayashi mare Midnight In Tokyo 30 starts to record her first stakes victory, it only took until her very next start to record her second, winning the $160,000 Listed BRC Just Now (1300m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday for Annabel and Rob Archibald.

Prominent WA sire Maschino has got another good one!

The Grant and Alana Williams bred and trained Storyville led all the way in a bold change of tactics from champion hoop Willie Pike, which paid off brilliantly when the classy daughter of Overshare was able to hold off all challengers and post the fourth stakes win of her career in the Listed Starstruck Classic.

With NZB Kiwi favourite Well Written confirmed to run in the Entain/TAB NZ slot in New Zealand’s richest race, attention is now being focused on decisions around other prominent candidates for the $4 million March 7 feature.

What began as a bold new initiative in August 2024, the Inglis Xtra Bonus Series has rapidly grown into one of the most lucrative racehorse ownership incentive schemes in Australian racing history.

The big ones at Sha Tin kicked off on International Day with the Group I HK International Vase (2400m) for the stayers and in a year when the French have been on fire all around the world it was French trained Sea the Stars stallion Sosie that took the prize.

A huge field lines up for a great rendition of the $2million G2 Ingham, and I'm going with an upset result and a trifecta that might pay for some Christmas treats!
