Wootton Bassett Colt Sells for 2.3million at Arqana

Breeding To Win – Crystal Ball – New Season 3YOs to Follow

Who are we highlighting this week? - Analysis of the G1 winning 3YO’s for last season has made us realise how many horses on this list took giant strides from two to three, so we are looking into the crystal ball to find some juveniles we believe could end this season as G1 performers if not G1 winners.

Handy Victory For Wootton Bassett’s Wise Inlaw

Wootton Bassett Set to Blast Out of Winter

Many people may have anticipated Wootton Bassett (GB) would have been our Champion Australian First Season Sire last season and while that didn’t quite eventuate, he did finish the season with a wealth of horses holding spring potential and several were in action at the trials this morning.
