Sires With Winners - Friday October 3

Here is the full list of 61 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Bowness Stud Announce D’Argento’s 2025 Fee

With his current crop of three-year-olds exceeding expectations on what they achieved last season at two, Group 1 winner D’Argento (So You Think) will remain at a fee of $16,500 (inc. GST), with live foal payments terms applying for the upcoming breeding season.

Figlio D'Argento Gives D’Argento Four Winners In Four Days

As we head towards Sunday’s Inglis HTBA yearling Sale, the victory of Mark and Levi Kavanagh’s 3yo D’Argento gelding Figlio D'Argento on Easter Monday at Sandown-Lakeside shines a spotlight on Bowness Stud who will offer 12 yearlings by their Group 1 Rosehill Guineas winner at the sale.

First Stakes Winner For D’Argento

One of five black type performers for his G1 Rosehill Guineas-winning sire D’Argento (So You Think), the Emma-Lee and David Browne-trained Statuario became the first stakes winner for his sire, relishing the step up in trip to claim the Listed MRC Galilee Series Final (2400m) at Caulfield.

One to Watch – Scone

A lightly raced filly by D’Argento stamped herself as a filly with Oaks potential after storming to an impressive maiden win at Scone on Friday.

One to Watch – Cranbourne

He’s a dashing grey just like his sire and blessed with an electric turn of foot which we saw today when he stepped up to 1400m for the first time.
