Arrowfield Stud

After creating a huge impression at her career debut at Rosehill, the Inglis Easter Sale topper Autumn Glow took the step to stakes company in her stride when creating history as the first filly to win the Group III CMNL Up And Coming Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill.

One of the Darley originals, Exceed And Excel, is working through his 20th book of mares in the Hunter Valley.

Triple Group 1 winner Hitotsu (Maurice-Love is Fickle by Redoute’s Choice) will join the Arrowfield Stud roster this Spring, standing at a fee of $22,000 inc. GST.

A filly out of the Group 1 MRC Thousand Guineas winner Stay With Me set a new benchmark for Dundeel when selling to Hawkes Racing for $1,700,000.

Not for the first time, the Hitosu story is as much about his trainers as it is about the son of Maurice (JPN), who added Saturday's $2,000,000 Group 1 ATC Bentley Australian Derby (2400m) to his burgeoning record.

While connections celebrated an outstanding return to racing with the Victoria Derby winner Hitotsu in the $1,000,000 Australian Guineas at Flemington, it was back to the drawing board for Spring Champion Stakes hero Profondo who never looked happy in his Victorian debut.

He did not have a traditional derby preparation, and he needed to overcome several obstacles in the run. Still, the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Hitotsu left no one in doubt that he was the best horse in Saturday's $2,000,000 Group 1 Penfolds Victoria Derby (2500m) at Flemington.

With his first crop, Maurice (JPN) clocked in a more than respectable seventh on last season's leading first season sire table, but unlike those in front of him, he did not have a stakes-winner.

Shaune Ritchie has backed his judgment once again at Karaka.

New Zealand’s Waikato Stud has secured a majority share in star three-year-old colt Super Seth, the son of emerging super stallion Dundeel.

John Sargent has a great record with Oaks type fillies and is no doubt thinking that way with this blue-blooded Dundeel filly that broke the ice for her first win at Canberra on Friday.

Saturday’s $500,000 Inglis Banner (RL) kickstarts a wonderful day of racing on Ladbrokes Cox Plate day at Moonee Valley.

The Anthony Freedman-trained Super Seth powered home to defeat the previously unbeaten Alligator Blood in Saturday’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) to credit Arrowfield Stud’s Dundeel with his fourth winner at the highest level but the big payday didn’t end there.

Peter Dunn’s Dodmark Thoroughbreds already have an exciting spring prospect and Derby contender in Just Thinkin’ and will be hoping to unleash another at Warwick Farm later this afternoon.

Brilliant Melbourne stakes-winner The Inevitable was not the only interesting winner by his sire Dundeel on Saturday with the Anderson Heathcote stable in Brisbane harbouring long range Queensland Derby plans for their promising Dundeel three year-old Profit.

Mystic Journey might not be the only Tasmanian superstar in Melbourne this spring with the Scott Brunton trained Dundeel gelding The Inevitable scoring a scintillating four length win in the Listed MVRC Bendigo Bank Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

Arrowfield Stud’s Dundeel has a lot of promising three year-olds to run for him this spring and we saw one of them at Caulfield on Saturday with talented colt Super Seth kicking off his campaign with a stylish victory in the Group III MRC HDF McNeil Stakes over 1200 metres.

Tasmania continues to punch well above its weight on the big stage with the latest star being the Scott Brunton-trained Dundeel gelding The Inevitable who made a winning seasonal debut over 1000 metres at Flemington on Saturday at the expense of the odd-on favourite Assertive Approach.

Making a winning debut at Echuca on Monday was a very promising three year-old by Dundeel.
