Crowned Australia’s Leading First Season Sire last season, Vinery Stud’s Ole Kirk has kept the momentum going, recording his first elite level winner as the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman trained 3yo filly Ole Dancer got the better of the favourite to win the $1.5m Group 1 MRC Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield.
Two New Zealand-bred horses lined up in the A$1 million Silver Eagle (1300m) at Randwick on Saturday and filled the first two placings, headed by a sparkling performance by Linebacker.
