Harry Angel - New Winner

Graham White realised the dream of every breeder when Watch Me Rock won the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) and he can deliver a running double at the elite level in the Group 1 Northerly Stakes (1800m) this Saturday.

The build up to next year’s highly anticipated Inglis yearling sales season continues with today’s launch of the 2026 Preview Magazine.

Untapped 3YO colt Patonga (Written Tycoon) topped today’s Inglis Digital December (Early) Online Sale, selling to Hong Kong interests for $255,000.

Down to a field of just five, Bjorn Baker’s 3yo Shalaa (IRE) filly Swordplay showed brilliant speed throughout to pull clear and win the Hawaii Five O @ Vinery Stud Handicap (1000m) at Warwick Farm on Wednesday by more than three and a half lengths.

St Jean (IRE) is sadly no longer with us and while Caulfield and Melbourne Cup winner Half Yours has set the benchmark for this unheralded stallion, a debut winner by the son of Teofilo in the Ciaron Maher stable was an eye-catching debut winner at Caulfield on Wednesday.

Here is the full list of 39 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

NZB is gearing up to mark the milestone 100th National Yearling Sale in New Zealand at Karaka in late January. The marquee section of that centenary sale, Book 1 of Karaka 2026, has drawn a catalogue worthy of the momentous occasion.  

The third and final day of Europe’s premier breeding stock sale concluded with DESERT SPRING heading proceedings at 220,000 guineas and a record average and median for the sale. A record-equalling eleven lots realised a million guineas or more and Tuesday’s turnover was the highest for a day in European auction history, eclipsing the benchmark set at last year’s December Mares Sa

It was a three winner Wednesday for Hellbent that included a metro double at Warwick Farm and it could be a very good week for the Yarraman Park based sire, whose quality daughter Vivy Air runs in the Group I WATC Northerly Stakes this Saturday.

Waitak’s class and versatility will stand him in good stead at Trentham where he chases a fourth top-flight title.
