Extreme Warrior - New Winner

David Archer has participated in more than enough of racing’s big dances to know that on a racetrack nothing can be taken for granted or predicted with absolute accuracy.

Time is on the wing as we head towards the $5million Group I ATC Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on March 21 with two new contenders emerged from the pack to secure their place after winning key lead up races last Saturday while previously unbeaten colts Warwoven and Fireball were underwhelming.

An extraordinary day for leading Victorian nursery Gilgai Farm capped off a Premier Sale Book 1 for the ages, which ended with significant increases in all key fiscal metrics.

Well Written may carry the colours of thoroughbred industry giant Yulong Investments, but she has an army of other part-owners who will be cheering her home in Saturday’s $4 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) at Ellerslie.

The loss of Ghibellines was further emphasised at Wingatui where the late resident of White Robe Lodge was the dominant force.

Three heats for juveniles at Warwick Farm on Monday were won by youngsters including the most expensive Snitzel yearling ever sold.

Saddling up a pair of unraced juveniles in Saturday’s $175,000 Listed MRC Magic Millions Merson Cooper Stakes (1000m) at Caulfield, it was Lloyd Kennewell’s colt Eternal Warrior that took the prize at big odds, and in the process handed Rosemont Stud’s Extreme Warrior his first stakes winner.

Here is the full list of 22 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

We're talking 2YO's and trying to make sense of the Golden Slipper picture with a couple of new contenders emerging last Saturday, are they bred to do the job?

Gilgai Farm blazed through the second and final session of Inglis Premier Book 1 producing four of the top six yearlings sold on Monday and they included fillies by Kermadec and Written By that provided benchmark sales for their respective sires.
