Like These First Season Sires? Be Prepared To Shell Out More in 2019

Mark Smith - Tuesday April 23

Only a long-head separated the speedy Bengalla Bay from the fast-finishing Deep Field colt King's Champ in the Star Kingdom Handicap at Muswellbrook on Monday, which denied Deep Field of having four winners from as many runners in the space of five days.

The Newgate Farm stallion (image below Mark Smith) has advanced his tally of winners to 10, one ahead of Coolmore Stud's Rubick, who are both chasing down the 15 winners by Lyndhurst Stud's Better Than Ready who has been the front runner all season.

Better Than Ready (More Than Ready) goes from $9,900 to $33,000.

Brazen Beau (I Am Invincible) from $38500 to $49,500
