Rare opportunities at Easter

The Australian breeding industry has developed in a most interesting direction over the last half century. Racing has traditionally been referred to as “The Sport Of Kings” because of the royal patronage that established and sustained horse racing from its inception in the late 18th century.

King Charles 11 is most famously remembered for his involvement, and the royals and aristocrats of ensuing generations continued the tradition. Similar lines of development occurred in Europe and among the captains of industry in the new world. The Steel, oil, railway and industrial barons of America were the effective royalty and aristocracy of their times.

Breeding and racing inspired and challenged these individuals and their families to become owner/breeders of their own stock and to establish their farms and horses as the non plus ultra. Commercial interests were subjugated to the quest to develop thoroughbred families over many generations. Many thoroughbred generations and many human generations. Purses tended to be relatively small, or consisted of private wagers and “matches”. Stud fees were an incidental bonus with stallions covering unimaginably small books by today’s standards, often consisting mainly of the stallion owner’s own mares.

The commercialisation of breeding and racing really started to develop after the second World War and has increased spectacularly over the past 75 years. However, there is still a very strong tendency for many of the world’s leading breeders in the northern hemisphere to be owner/breeders who guard the bloodlines of their best families with a care bordering on obsession. The prize females from the elite families in England, Europe and America still rarely come on the market. But things are different here in Australia.

Horseracing is more akin to “The Sport Of The Common Man”. Sure enough, we do have wealthy individuals and owner/breeders involved but our world leading prizemoney of over one billion dollars has seen things develop in a different direction. The opportunity exists to breed and race with the prospect of a decent financial return. It is still no easy task but it can be done.

Accordingly we have the situation whereby the majority of yearlings out of the best thoroughbred families are offered as yearlings at some stage. This presents tremendous opportunities to buy into the elite families through a close relation of the best members.

The Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale epitomises this concept with the upcoming 2025 sale serving as an excellent illustration. Almost 20% of the catalogue comprises yearlings whose dams were Gr1 winners or are siblings to Gr1 winners. The champions and Gr1 winning members of the best families are close up on practically every page. And that’s just for starters, there are large offerings by the best sires in the world, literally. Multiple champions of their countries and leading emerging sires in both hemispheres.

This issue of Bluebloods previews the Easter sale and features interviews and comments from the principals of the farms featured. Our website stallions.com.au has free fully sortable sire lists up to 5th season sires and broodmare sires to assist with the selection process. Lists can be sorted by winners, stakes winners and Gr1 winners.

This year’s slightly smaller offering of 421 lots is certain to inspire strong competition not only for racing stock but for future stallion prospects and foundation mares. The opportunities lie before us …

Diatonic

The rise of Japan’s bloodlines globally is no surprise to anyone who has been watching the investment into quality broodmares over recent decades. Japanese horses are known to be tough, fast performers who cope with pressure and now they are being showcased on a global stage. A renowned form analyst rules Japanese racing as the world’s strongest.

by Renée Geelen

Yulong have embraced this long term investment in quality with three sons of Lord Kanaloa, with Diatonic and Panthalassa being Japanese bred and raced, while G1 Blue Diamond winner Tagaloa was imported in utero.

One of the unique points about Diatonic is that he began his stud career in Australia covering 32 mares to Northern Hemisphere time at the beginning of 2023 and has 19 foals born from this experiment.

“Mr Zhang has interests in racing horses worldwide, so covering mares to Northern Hemisphere time expanded the chance of Diatonic being a stallion success globally. We’ll get the horses from that group up and going and if they look like something we’ll send them overseas, be it Japan or Europe,” said Vin Cox.

Diatonic was popular in his first Southern Hemisphere season, covering 131 mares in 2023 at a fee of $13,750 and remained at that fee in 2024 when he covered 104 mares. “The Japanese horses definitely work here.

The amount of money they’ve been investing in their stock for decades has paid dividends and the Japanese horses are amongst the best in the world as a group,” said Cox.

“We like the sireline. We have three sons of Lord Kanaloa on the farm, and Diatonic is a good looking speed shaped horse, who looks

like the type of individual that would suit our market, and the foals we have, particularly the Southern Hemisphere born ones, are good looking foals and out of significant mares. The In Her Time filly is a stunner, as good a type as you’ll see and she’ll probably go to a yearling sale somewhere next year. We’ll be taking some of the Diatonics to the weanling sales this year to increase his profile.”

A winner of his only start at two, he also won at three, then was a Group winner at four, five and seven. All up, Diatonic won ten of his 26 starts, proving to be sound and tough over many seasons. Incredibly consistent as a young horse, he won six and placed three times in his first ten starts, running fourth the other times, including winning the Listed Kyoto Azuchijo Stakes over 1400m.

Diatonic won the 1400m Gr.2 Swan Stakes twice, at four and seven, while he also won the 1400m Hanshin Cup at seven. At five, he won the Gr.3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes. He raced in Gr.1 company on six occasions, placing third in the 1200m Gr.1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen and fourth in the Gr.1 Sprinters Stakes over the same journey. The beauty of Japanese racing is that it is focused on racing, not

on protecting a horse’s record for a stud career, and they value horses who have long careers and don’t shy away from competition with most of their races conducted with big fields, so a horse like Diatonic has been pushed against stronger company more often than he may have been if trained in Australia. The fact that he was competitive in group company over so many years is a credit to his quality.

Six-time Gr.1 winner Lord Kanaloa was Horse Of The Year in Japan in 2013 and now is a successful sire with 59 stakes winners led by dual Horse of the Year in Japan Almond Eye, who won nine Gr.1 races including the Japan Cup twice. Lord Kanaloa has eleven individual Gr.1 winners, with Yulong’s Panthalassa and Tagaloa among them.

Diatonic’s dam, To Harmony (Sunday Silence) has produced eight winners led by Diatonic, and his Gr.2 Keio Hai Spring Cup placed half-brother Leo Prime (Sakura Bakushin O) who won five races. She also produced eight-race winner Visual Support (Stravinsky) and Remix Album who is the dam of Cosmo Remix, winner of 13 races and still currently racing.

To Harmony’s dam was a winner at 1200m, and her dam is American imported mare Alpine Swift (Storm Bird) who is the ancestress of Listed winners Vogue Tornado and Roman Empire. For linebreeders, this is the family of Champion Sire Halo, via his half-sister La Dame Du Lac (Round Table) who is Diatonic’s fourth dam. This is the illustrious family of Northern Dancer, Danehill and Machiavellian. Halo was a Gr1 winner, sound and consistent winning nine of his 31 starts with another 13 placings, including the 1974 Gr.1 United Nations Handicap, he was syndicated by Windfields Farm for US$1.2 million (US$6 million in today’s currency). Less than 10 years later, he won the American Sires Championship in 1983 and 25 of his 40 shares were purchased by Tom Tatham of Oak Cliff Thoroughbreds in 1984 in a deal that was reportedly worth $36 million ($114.8

million in today’s currency) who moved Halo to Stone Farm.

“That was some price for a 15-year-old stallion,” Windfields manager Joe Hickey said in a 1995 interview. Halo sired a black colt in 1986 who would be named Sunday Silence. And the rest is history – Sunday Silence won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Breeders’ Cup and was Horse Of The Year in 1989. Sold to Japan because no major farm in America wanted him, Sunday Silence would begin a dynasty.

With Diatonic’s dam carrying both Halo through her sire Sunday Silence, and his half-sister Cosmah, and Cosmah being a half-sister to the mighty Northern Dancer, there is plenty in this pedigree for linebreeding enthusiast to salivate over. More Than Ready is a son of Southern Halo, by Halo, which adds more options for breeders too, while Diatonic is Danehill free.

Among the mares Diatonic served with his first Southern Hemisphere crop are Gr.1 winner Coventina Bay, who produced a filly, the filly mentioned

Lord Kanaloa’s eleven Gr.1 winners are out of mares by Heart’s Cry (two), Deep Impact, Sunday Silence, Special Week, Sakura Bakushin O, Falbrav, Harbinger, Montjeu, Sligo Bay, and Hard Spun. Breeders looking for a Danehill-free option who was tough and could sprint, while offering the chance to breed back to Danehill and Northern Dancer’s family, would be well placed to include Diatonic on their short list. With the support that he’s had from Yulong, Diatonic has every chance to make it as a stallion with large numbers of well bred runners set to represent him on the track.

Guy Mulcaster

by Kristen Manning

Two New Zealanders, both born on farms, both taking a liking to horses at an early age. They gain experience and knowledge working with local trainers; a similar racing background.

From there their careers diverge, one decides that training is the life for him, the other is more interested in the breeding side.

From different parts of New Zealand (Foxton and Hawke’s Bay) they didn’t know each other but fast forward a couple of decades and the team of Chris Waller and Guy Mulcaster is a formidable one, their success highlighted by the deeds of the superstar mare Winx.

“I met Chris at the sales, he was starting off as a trainer and I was starting off as a bloodstock agent,” Mulcaster recalled.

And now they head to yearling sales in partnership, Mulcaster doing the initial ground

work spending considerable time at studs and sales seeing horses around the country and beyond. “I do the first inspections and narrow them down,” he explained. “Chris takes a look at those, we have a chat and work out which ones we want to buy. Most of the time our opinions are similar, Chris knows what sort of horses he can train and he doesn’t really go off beat in regards to the sires of yearlings he buys. He has the final say on the horses he buys and I have the final say on the horses I buy for my other clients.”

Whilst Waller spent his apprenticeship years with Paddy Busuttin, Mulcaster was learning all that he could from Paul O’Sullivan, Michael Moroney and Laurie Laxon. He’d previously

worked at stables and studs during school holidays having ‘got the bug’ from his father, a farmer who’d had success racing a few horses. Training was considered but “I think the early mornings and the way in which, in New Zealand, when you get a good horse it is often sold underneath you, well I thought bloodstock was the safer job.”

And so Mulcaster worked at New Zealand Bloodstock for a decade, 15 years ago establishing is own business. He educated himself by going to the sales, “inspecting, keeping lists and seeing how those horses turned out,” and along the way he met people who would become his associates and clients.

“You get to know a lot of people in that career and it carries on from there.”

At a time when Raffles Farm’s Bruce Sherwin was Macau based, Mulcaster had a bit of early success buying horses who fared well there and in Hong Kong. And with bloodstock being ‘a results driven business,’ Mulcaster was off and running and the more winners that flowed, the more respect he gained.

“It’s all about having the clients willing to spend the money,” he said, pointing to Winx as one example. “I was lucky enough to have the people who firstly had enough to buy her and secondly who were happy to spend that money on a horse who was not an early type. She was a rangy yearling,” he called, “a little bit weak; but she always had that good athletic stride.”

Mulcaster obviously kept a close eye on the career of that $230,000 Magic Millions graduate and he puts down her trip to Queensland as being ‘the making of her.’ “Being up there in the better weather, I think that turned the corner for her.”

That it certainly did, Winx’s memorable win in the Sunshine Coast Guineas-Gr3, 1600m was the first of her memorable streak of 33.

“The more she raced the more she furnished and the better she got,” he said, adding that “she was a very good horse with the right application.” Mulcaster admires the job Waller did with Winx, not only in regards to managing her career but also the associated pressures. “He had cameras on him the whole time, he couldn’t just poke along and do what he usually did, he had to be mindful of the media’s take on things.”

The year Winx was purchased, 2013, was a particularly successful one for Mulcaster who also found through that same Magic Millions sales ring the classy filly Amicus. Chris Waller Racing secured that daughter of Fastnet Rock and the stakes placed Gold Chant (a half-sister to Starspangledbanner) for $500,000 and the Tony Santic bred filly proved to be a good buy winning five races including the 1000 Guineas-Gr1, 1600m, the Let’s Elope StakesGr2, 1400m, the ATC Breeders Classic-Gr2, 1200m and the Toy Show Quality-Gr3, 1300m. “Three years after buying her we sold her to Ireland where she has done a great job, one of her sons ran third in the Melbourne Cup,” he noted. That being last year’s Moonee Valley Cup-Gr2, 2500m winner Okita Soushi who was so brave at Flemington beaten less than a length. Now a member of the Ciaron Maher stable, he is the first foal for Amicus who has subsequently produced the Gallinule StakesGr3, 2012m winner Chief Little Rock, another son of Galileo.

The Coolmore owned mare is back in Australia, served last spring by Wootton Bassett after foaling a filly by St Mark’s Basilica whilst her previous foal, a son of Frankel, fetched $500,000 at last year’s Magic Millions National Weanling Sale. Mulcaster also had great success in 2013 at Karaka, at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale buying, with Chris Waller, Preferment and for another client, Kermadec.

“He was a big staying horse who did a good job winning the VRC Derby at his seventh start,” Mulcaster said of Preferment, the $190,000 purchase who went on to win another four Group 1 races. And of Kermadec who was

From different parts of New Zealand (Foxton and Hawke’s Bay) they didn’t know each other but fast forward a couple of decades and the team of Chris Waller and Guy Mulcaster is a formidable one.

bought for $260,000 he said “he was a nice horse off a good farm and I was fortunate to have Neville Morgan ready to buy all of him.” That horse also found stakes winning form early, at his third outing taking out the Carbine Club Stakes-Gr3, 1600m at Flemington on Derby Day. Going on to elite level stakes in the George Main Stakes-Gr1, 1600m and the Doncaster Handicap-Gr1m 1600m he was snapped up for stud duties by Darley and from his Northwood Park base has proven to be a reliably classy stallion represented by four Group 1 winners.

Kermadec is not the only Mulcaster/Morgan success story as they have also combined to buy two winners of the Queensland Derby-Gr1, 2400m; the 2021 winner Kukeracha (Karaka, $130,000) and the 2023 winner Kovalica (Karaka, $110,000) as well as Kolding, a $170,000 Karaka buy who won three majors, the Epsom Handicap-Gr1, 1600m, the George Main Stakes and the All-Aged Stakes-Gr1, 1400m.

Mulcaster was famously back in action at this year’s Karaka Sale where he broke not only the sale’s record but his own with his most expensive purchase to date, again teaming with Chris Waller for a successful bid of $2.4 million on an eye-catching sister to the New Zealand Derby-Gr1, 2400m and Vinery Stud Stakes-Gr1, 2000m winner Orchestral. He hopes she can live up to the deeds of other talented gallopers he has spied as yearlings, others on his purchasing resume including the four time Group 1 winner Sacred Falls (Karaka, $160,000), the dual Group 1 winning sprinter Sacred Star (Inglis Easter, $200,000), the Auckland Cup-Gr1, 3200m victor Rock Diva (Karaka, $200,000), the JJ Atkins Stakes-Gr1, 1600m winner Sacred Elixir (Karaka, $170,000) and the Darley Classic-Gr1, 1200m winner Delectation (Easter, $250,000). And of course Arrowfield Stud’s emerging star The Autumn Sun, the five time Group 1 winner bought with Waller and Hermitage Thoroughbreds for $700,0000 at Easter 2017.

Mulcaster said he cannot ‘really explain’ exactly what he sees in a potential star but he likes them to ‘be an athlete.’ “It’s about what you see in your own mind, how the horse moves, their shape. You get to know their families and try to envisage what sort of horse they are likely to grow into. And you have to know your values, there is no point showing a $200,000 horse to someone who has $100,000 to spend. Most horses at sales sell,” he continued, “and there are so many different opinions. Some buy a $10,000 horse and have great success, others spend $1 million on a slow horse and all shades in between.”

Outside of the yearling sales ring Mulcaster has had plenty of success spotting diamonds amongst raced horses and he enjoys a yearling trip to the Autumn Horses In Training Sale at Tattersalls. From there he has sourced such talented performers as the triple Group 1 winner Foreteller (100,000gns), the Kingston Town Classic-Gr1, 1800m winner Moriarty (90,000gns) and the Sydney Cup-Gr1, 3200m

Chris Waller

winner Stand To Gain (105,000gns). “I’ve been to that sale 17 years in a row,” he said, noting that the challenge of buying a good tried horse has increased. “It has been getting a bit harder. A lot of horses are sold during the year now and you have buyers from a lot of countries like Bahrain and Saudi Arabia competing for the same horses.”

Mulcaster has experience on his side however, noting that “you get to know the tracks these horses have been racing at and the sort of competition they’ve had. The value that was there ten years ago has dried up a bit but we still got three nice horses last year.” Those horses being the lightly raced (twice placed from four starts) Man Of Worth by Sea The Stars (80,000gns), the three time winner (from his last four starts) Hutchence by Frankel (460,000gns) and the Awtaad gelding Tazima (210,000gns) who was successful at his second outing last spring.

Mulcaster also has what he calls ‘a side play,’ each year picking out three of for yearling suitable for pin-hooking. “It’s the same process in regards to inspection,” he said, “looking for a nicely shaped athlete but you are mindful that they are going to have to come some pressure to be ready for the ready-to-run sales, they are not far away. I’ve had a bit of success, not paying too much and selling on well.”

Mulcaster, who has based himself on the Gold Coast for the last three years, certainly works hard and is constantly on the go from December 1 onwards. “That’s when I start looking at the Magic Millions horses who I see again at the sales. Soon after that it is New Zealand, then the Classic, Perth, Melbourne,

Adelaide, back to the Gold Coast in March then Easter in Sydney. And the broodmare sales take us through to July, it is pretty full on! After that I concentrate on Europe.”

Rarely getting to the track except for the occasional day for ‘the social aspect,’ Mulcaster is happy to watch the action unfold on screen though he did enjoy being on course for “eight or ten of Winx’s wins.”

Mulcaster admires the job Waller did with Winx, not only in regards to managing her career but also the associated pressures.

He has a preference for buying yearlings by commercial stallions, noting that “you have to ring a buyer and it helps if they know who their sire is, it makes them easier to sell. If there is a young horse I really like I talk it through and tell clients why I like that horse so much.”

Two such stallions are on Mulcaster’s radar at the moment, he being a fan of Wootton Bassett and Home Affairs. “We’ve had a big go at Wootton Bassett over the last couple of years and that is working out well for us. I’d been following him in Europe and liked that he was on an upward curve and it is great that he ended up standing here.”

“Home Affairs was a good racehorse and they look pretty fast; they have good bone and substance.”

No doubt that amongst any talented gallopers sired by either of those two stallions will be horses who were signed up for by Guy Mulcaster. Which can be another story for another day!

The two farm boys from New Zealand have done pretty well and Guy Mulcaster is looking forward to finding more winners for Chris Waller and his other clients.

Frankel fireworks expected at Easter

And so it is with Frankel, too valuable to move, so his acolytes must visit him at his court. There is little or no dispute that Frankel (Galileo – Kind by Danehill) is one of the greatest racehorses and stallions in the long history of the Thoroughbred. We are lucky to have seen him race and to watch his progeny.

Bred and raced by the late Prince Khalid Abdullah at his Juddmonte Farms, Frankel was undefeated in 14 starts and has become established as the world’s greatest living sire at Juddmonte’s Banstead Manor Farm, Newmarket in England with 153 SW and 35 Gr1 winners from his first 908 runners at industry leading strike rates of 16.8% and 3.85% respectively. His 22% Gr1 winners to SW from such large numbers is unparalleled.

Fortunately for Australian breeders Juddmonte has made southern hemisphere nominations available to the great stallion on a regular basis and several leading breeders have seized the opportunity. These have included John Singleton in earlier years and more recently Cressfield and Yulong have been strong supporters. As a result there have been multiple opportunities to purchase yearlings by Frankel at major Australian sales with the biggest representations gravitating to the Inglis Australian

Easter Yearling Sale. There were 14 lots catalogued in 2024 while another 12 are on offer in 2025. Frankel has demonstrated that his stock are effective under Australian conditions with the deeds of domestic bred Gr1 winners Converge and Hungry Heart, Group winners and Gr1 placed Steinem and Miss Fabulass plus My Whisper and Argentia reinforced by the likes of Mirage Dancer, Soulcombe, Herman Hesse, Finche and Francesco Guardi.

Juddmonte is one of the great stallion making owner/breeder operations of modern times and indeed of any era. The successful sires they have developed include Frankel, Danehill (which would suffice for anyone else), Kingman, Oasis Dream, Dansili, Arrogate and Rainbow Quest just to name the more recent stars. Kingman has also been supported by Australian breeders with King Colorado completing a unique juvenile double for these two foreign based stallions standing at the same farm in winning the JJ Atkins S and Zardozi also scoring at Gr1 level in the VRC Oaks. Kingman is not represented at Easter 2025 but the Frankel offering is a mouth-watering one. Bearing in mind that Frankel yearlings have sold in Australia for $1.6 million, $1.3 million,

$1.1 million, $1 million with another 17 selling for 500k or more we can expect fireworks at Easter.

The highlights at Easter will include: Lot 31 a colt who is the second foal of NZ 1000 Guineas winner Loire; Lot 110 a filly from the immediate family of Kingman; Lot 199 a filly bred on the outstanding Frankel/Dubawi nick; Lot 299 a colt bred on the proven Frankel/Pivotal nick and Lot 348 a filly closely related to Frankel’s Australian multiple Gr3 winner Argentia and with second dam being champion mare and producer Princess Coup.

Shane Horan, nominations manager at Banstead Manor has been a regular visitor to Australia and is a great advocate for the Australian Industry. He commented, “Prince Khalid and his family and now the team at Juddmonte are determined to make Frankel’s bloodlines available to leading breeders in Australia to build on his legacy. We are fortunate to have this great stallion and recognise his importance to bloodlines worldwide.

Michael Freedman

By Renée Geelen

In this series we often kick off by asking people how they got their start in our great sport but it isn’t the right question for Michael Freedman who is, of course, a member of one of Australia’s most well known and most successful racing families.

One which has been part of the local racing scene for five generations with Michael’s great grandfather Bill “Midge” McLachlan the first jockey to ride three Melbourne Cup-Gr.1, 3200m winners.

Winning a host of other features whilst also enjoying success overseas, McLachlan had a son named William ride against him at Royal Ascot, a rider who had the distinction of being the first Australian jockey to ride for the Royal Family.

William’s sister Maude married Alan Freedman and they are the parents of Tony Freedman, a successful developer who, after suffering a heart attack in the 1960’s, decided to change his lifestyle; purchasing Hardwicke Farm at Yass where he and his wife Del raised their family.

The exploits of their sons who at their peak were affectionately referred to as “the FBI”

(Freedman Brothers Inc), are well known and recognised. Under their care were some of the very best horses of the late 1980’s and 1990’s and Michael enjoyed chatting about his memories of that time as well as the career path he is now following.

What are your earliest horse memories? Being on the farm as a kid, doing a lot of show riding. I loved it and I remember riding with a young Darren Beadman. He managed to keep his weight down and progress to being a jockey but I didn’t!

What were your first steps into a career with horses?

I progressed to show-jumping and that was my main passion. As a teenager I dreamed of becoming a professional but my old man put me straight, he said finish school and see where that leads.

But I had a great time, travelling all around New South Wales. Lee was a bit older and he was starting to get the idea that he’d like to train and after a year travelling I came home and decided I’d like to join him and my other brothers.

Do you have a favourite horse from that time?

We were blessed to train so many great horses that it almost seems an injustice to name one but if there is one closest to my heart, it would be Mahogany.

I was given him to care for right from when he came into the stables and I travelled with him to Queensland where he won his first two Group 1 races (the QTC Sires Produce Stakes,1400m and the Castlemaine Stakes,1600m).

How many horses can win two Derbies (VRC and AJC) and come back and win two

Lightnings-Gr.1, 1000m? I don’t think we will see anything like that again.

I have a real soft spot for him though there were a lot of amazing horses in our stables, the likes of Super Impose, Durbridge, Mannerism, Subzero, Schillaci, Flying Spur, Encosta de Lago, Alinghi and Makybe Diva. They were heady days!

Do you see anything that the best horses have in common?

The one trait they all have in common is that the great horses know they are great.

After the fourth of his big mile wins, Super Impose stood on the course proper and just took it all in. After her third Melbourne Cup Makybe Diva stood on the track and cast her eye from one end of the grandstand to the other, you could see her thinking ‘I know I’m good!’

Are your children (Michael is the father of the now 23-year-old triplets Max, Sophie and Jessica) interested in racing?

Max is starting the final year of his veterinary studies at Charles Sturt University and I think he will go down the horse path. It is looking like he could secure an internship in Kentucky and I will be encouraging that!

My daughters are also interested in racing, they certainly follow it, but they have been diverse in their chosen pursuits.

Sophie gained a sports management degree at Bond University and is working with the Gold Coast Suns which she really enjoys and Jessica has an interior architecture degree. She is looking for work in that area having just returned from a year in London.

What did you learn from your parents that you were able to pass on to your children?

Our parents definitely instilled a work ethic into us and that has carried on throughout the family.

You trained for eight years in Singapore, what did you take from your time there?

There was a cap on trainers, you could only have 60 horses and that made us very handson. I really enjoyed that, I like to know what every horse is up to on a day to day basis and I have stuck with that in Australia. I have 55 boxes at Randwick and that is a number I am very happy with.

I don’t think I could do the mega trainer thing, I am not a good delegator!

Singapore racing sadly ended last year, what were your thoughts on that?

We chose to leave because we just felt that it was time to bring the kids home and let them finish their schooling in Australia. It was a wonderful place to train and live and seeing a great complex like Kranji shut down is just so sad.

One of the great things about Singapore is that anyone could race a horse there, you didn’t need to be a member of the Club or have a permit and about half the horses I trained were owned by people in Australia. But racing just didn’t enjoy any support from government, there was just no enthusiasm

there. The Club couldn’t really promote racing, in fact I’d talk to expats in business and they were surprised to find out that Singapore had racing!

You also spent time in Hong Kong, how did that go?

I think I hold the record for the shortest Hong Kong stint!

I didn’t really enjoy it, we had a horse incident in the walker early and from thereon I was considered bad luck and when that happens in Hong Kong you are dead in the water.

The kids were at school at home and we weren’t really happy, I thought ‘there is more to life than this’ so we came home.

I don’t regret it though, I think if I had not taken that chance I would always have been thinking about what I may’ve missed. And everything is a learning opportunity.

What is the biggest concern racing Australian racing at present?

We have to be extremely mindful of perception. The anti-racing lobby is getting more vocal and we have to take all means possible to not allow them to get more of a stranglehold.

What advice would you give to young people starting off in racing?

When we started off in the 1980’s it was hard enough kicking off from scratch but in this era of mega stables, I think it is even more difficult.

I think the best way for an aspiring trainer to forge a career path is to team up with a successful trainer, to learn from them and hopefully work your way up to a partnership before thinking about going out on your own.

What is the base of your stable in regards to horses and clients?

Of the 120 horses we have on our books, around 80% of our horses are young, either two or three-year-olds.

I have a mixture of owners, people who breed their own horses and others who buy. Many have been with me right from when I returned from Singapore and they are happy to stump up every year. I am very grateful to them, none of us can survive without good owners.

You mentioned you are happy with 55 boxes in an era of mega trainers, is that easy to sustain?

I think here is a niche in the market for trainers of my size, not all owners want to be part of a big stable. They like the more personable approach.

What are some of your favourite racing memories?

I know we won it, but I don’t think you’d ever see a better W.S Cox Plate-Gr.1, 2040m field than 1992.

It was a crazy day with Naturalism falling then old Super charging down the outside. I remember going over to Mick Dittman (Naturalism’s rider) to see if he was okay and he said “we were going that well you were about to see the next Dulcify.”

Makybe Diva winning three Melbourne Cups was obviously a big thing, I remember when she came to the stable Lee saying that getting her was either to be great for us or a poison chalice!

She’d already won the Melbourne Cup, what more could she do?!

I loved Lee’s speech that day she won her third, that sticks in my mind.

“Go and find the smallest child on the course today because that is the only person here who will live to see this again, we won’t.”

How have you managed to maintain your passion for racing over time?

I think coming back to Sydney was a big thing. I spent a lot of time in Melbourne but I am New South Wales born and bred and I love living here.

And having a great young team around me, they are so enthusiastic. A couple of them want to be trainers themselves and if I can play a small part in helping them achieve that I will be very happy.

One of the best you had when training in partnership with your brother Richard was Stay Inside, tell us about him.

He was not the most imposing yearling but what he was, was a smallish horse with a big horse’s action.

And he was such a placid horse, there was no coltishness about him at all, he was so straightforward to train.

I’ve been looking at his yearlings and I was very impressed by what I saw at the Gold Coast. Going by the types he is siring and the mares he has been serving he is every chance to succeed.

You have been associated with a number of outstanding stallions, what are your memories of some of those?

Encosta de Lago was quite a difficult young horse. He was very, very coltish from a very young age but fortunately it didn’t seem to affect his racing performance though he had a pretty short career. He was very talented and he did a great job, kicking off at a fee of only $8,500.

We had a lot of success with Danehill horses and on the whole they were very laid back, but not Flying Spur, he was also a tricky horse. (Encosta de Lago was a half-brother to the dam of Flying Spur).

You must be proud of the Freedman family achievements, not just in the past but with the next generation?

Having the Freedman name can bring certain expectations with it but it is also an entrée into the industry. And it is great to see the likes of Sam really take the bull by the horns and have a go.

One day I will sit by the fire with a whiskey and really look back and think about everything the family has achieved.

When you’re hot, you’re hot

by Kristen Manning

TOO DARN HOT is living up to his illustrious pedigree and racetrack record with his spectacular stud success.

Bill Collins, born in 1928, began his career on country radio in Victoria before getting a gig at 3DB in 1953. He began as the third string race caller and soon moved up the ranks, thanks to Eric Welch retiring and Dick Cranbourne becoming ill. Collins was appointed the Chief Race Caller in 1954. Known as ‘the accurate one’ for his ability to call a photo finish correctly, Collins called 34 Melbourne Cups.

“He was a brilliant man, and probably The aptly named Too Darn Hot is the latest in a series of successful stallions who have shuttled to Australia courtesy of the international outfit that is Darley.

Darley established its Australian operations firstly in Sandy Hollow NSW under Olly Tait before expanding to Kelvinside some years later and then once again to Northwood Park to complete the infrastructure as it exists today. It has been onwards and upwards since, the NSW and Victorian farms are home to a variety of stallions with the focus being on quality.

Specifically on Group 1 quality with Darley Australia’s Head Of Stallions Alastair Pulford noting that “what we have learned with shuttle stallions is that before anything else, they need to be an elite horse.” So not just any Group 1 winner, but those able to prove themselves something that bit special.

“The one time Group 1 winners generally don’t make the best stallions,” Pulford said, adding that “basically, the cream rises to the top.” As a horse who earned the titles of Champion 2YO & 3YO Colt in Europe, Champion 2YO in GB, Champion 3YO Sprinter in France and Champion 3YO Miler in GB, Too Darn Hot is certainly that “cream.”

“He was an easy choice,” Pulford said when asked how Darley decide which stallions to offer to Australian breeders. “We look for very high class horses who will appeal to the local market. Obviously we need that support though we also drive success with the support of our own broodmare band.”

It is that willingness to test stallions with their own mares that has Darley only wanting to stand stallions in whom they have a firm belief. “There are no guarantees and a lot of potential sires fail. But we have noted over time that the most elite horses tend to be the best stallions. If you start with a horse like that you have a much bigger chance than just wishing and hoping.”

All of this made Too Darn Hot ‘not a hard one to pick!’ “ We have tremendous faith in him,” Pulford said, adding that Too Darn Hot’s racing ability (three elite level wins) is supported by his breeding, a pedigree that ‘runs so deep.’

“I have looked right into it and cannot find another horse who has Group 1 winners as both parents and also as all four grandparents.”

That’s Dubawi, Dubai Millennium, Zomaradah, Dar Re Mi, Singspiel and Darara; between them the winners of 17 Group 1 races. “With his pedigree and his talent, Too Darn Hot just gave us nothing to say no to, he is the whole package.”

One of his super sire’s 293 stakes winners and 60 Group 1 winners, Too Darn Hot is one of the three stakes winners for Dar Re Mi, Champion Older Female in GB. Her dam Darara also did a superb job at stud with her ten winners including five stakes winners with River Dancer, Rewilding and Darazari also being Group 1 winners.

Ancestress of this family is the famed matriarch Frizette who has 1108 stakes winners amongst her descendants. 148 of those are Group 1 winners with a host of successful stallions including Mr Prospector, Seattle Slew, Lomond, Tourbillon, Djeddah, Darshaan and Elusive Quality. Too Darn Hot is from the thriving branch descended from Tourzima. Each of Too Darn Hot’s parents and grandparents boast strains of this family and he is a member of the Mr Prospector sire line.

Thirteen of Too Darn Hot’s first 23 stakes winners including his Group 1 winners Broadsiding and Fallen Angel have further Mr Prospector in their dam lines with the latter being bred on a 4fx5m cross of Too Darn Hot’s Group 3 placed third dam Delsy, dam of Darshaan. Also bred that way is the Group 1 galloper Hotazhell and the unbeaten local juvenile Rivellino.

The recent Group 3 winner Tropicus as well as the French Listed winner Hot Darling are out of Exceed And Excel line mares, that stallion being out of a daughter of Lomond. Stakes winners Arabian Summer, Superalloy, Perspiration, Shanwah, Silmarillion, Too Darn Discreet, Too Darn Lizzie, Darnation, Alyanaabi, Carolina Reaper, Lava Stream, Boiling Point and Native Approach are all out of mares whose dams carry at least one Frizette strain within a few generations.

Pulford said Darley take note of high class form regardless of where the horse is racing. “It doesn’t matter where they are, or on what surface, it’s all about class; a good horse is a good horse. Street Cry raced on dirt and that didn’t faze us,” he said whilst conceding that breeders were not so convinced. “It did concern the market at first,” Pulford said, noting that Street Cry served only 72 mares in his first Australian season. “He did struggle for support but look at him now. Every weekend we can come up with a Street Cry story. He has been an extraordinary influence and what I like about him is the substance he passes on. You never see a puny or weak horse with Street Cry in its pedigree, that’s one of his great attributes.”

“It doesn’t matter where they are, or on what surface, it’s all about class; a good horse is a good horse. Street Cry raced on dirt and that didn’t faze us.”

Street Cry’s son Street Boss was another who took time to convince breeders. “It took him a while to garner support but we worked out early that his stats were good so we started to send him better mares. Since then he has been keeping the Godolphin stable firing with Anamoe his breakthrough horse.” Street Boss is an example of Darley’s focus on class regardless of location. “He won his Group 1 races in California and he didn’t race at two as his owner and trainer prefer to wait. But he was a very good looking horse, the highest priced yearling from Street Cry’s first crop.”Too Darn Hot’s sire Dubawi shuttled to Australia on only three occasions, not supported with the quality Darley hoped for though looking back Pulford was not surprised. “He had a cool reception. He is high class but small. He appealed to some but most were querying him. His sire having just had the one crop was an unknown and we shuttled him at a time when the colonial stallion was king. But his Australian stats read really well (12.4% stakes winners to runners); he was able to make an impact.” “He also took a while to get going in the UK but as the quality of his mares improved so did the quality of his runners. Poet’s Voice

was the best horse from his first crop and he was not a champion, his progeny just got better and better. He is now a superstar with worldwide influence and we are always happy to secure on his progeny.” Such as Too Darn Hot. At the time of writing the bay had been represented by 140 winners amongst his first 264 runners. 23 of those are stakes winners; an 8.7% strike rate. In Australia 38 of his first 77 runners have been winners including ten stakes winners; 12.9%.

He has sired Group 1 winners (Godolphin’s Broadsiding here) in both hemispheres and when it comes to carnival time his progeny are right in the thick of things. February 22 was a great example of that with Shanwah taking out the Autumn Classic-Gr2, 1800m, Tropicus the Zeditave Stakes-Gr3, 1200m and Broadsiding the Hobartville StakesGr2, 1400m whilst Jenni The Fox and Too Darn Lizzie filled the placings in the Angus Armanasco Stakes-Gr2, 1400m. Too Darn Hot, who last year served 60 mares to southern hemisphere time, is not the first Dubawi shuttled by Darley with his dual Group 1 winner Night Of Thunder standing one season in Victoria.

“Unfortunately he has back issues which make it hard for him to serve two books in a row,” Pulford explained. Despite his limited opportunities, Night Of Thunder was still a good advertisement for Dubawi with eight stakes winners amongst his 49 winners from 65 runners on Australian soil; the Queensland Derby-Gr1, 2400m winner Kukeracha amongst them.

Dubawi’s four time Group 1 winner Ghaiyyath, who earned the crown of European Horse Of The Year, has his first Australian runners this season and Pulford was pleased “with the way he rounded off his year in the northern hemisphere (15 debut crop winners). “Hopefully he can be the next big thing. Obviously he has more stamina and was a later maturing horse than Too Darn Hot but I think that’s a good thing as we are sorely lacking those sort of stallions in Australia.”

Darley has also been home to four stallions who have their first yearlings going through the 2025 sales and each fit the bill in regards to Darley’s quest for class. The European Champion 3YO Colt Palace Pier won five Group 1 races, the European Champion 2YO colt Pinatubo won three whilst Victor Ludorum won two.

Racing career length vs stud success

by Andrew Reichard

“I don’t want that filly to have too many starts”

“I’m not keen on that stallion because he had too many starts”

Have you ever heard those two pieces of received wisdom?

We all have, but is there any factual basis to indicate that an extensive racing career is detrimental to eventual stud success. Fortunately we don’t have to rely on hearsay, anecdotal evidence or guesswork to decide the issue.

The records of influential mares and stallions are well recorded, the thoroughbred is arguably the best documented species on the planet. Complete information on the racing and breeding careers of all the individuals since the inception of the breed is available.

Furthermore, we can make lists of key stallions and mares, horses whose credentials are not in dispute. To avoid allegations of bias we also have access to lists of important horses that have been prepared by independent third parties in the course of their work.

The Parameters

Before examining the facts it would be nice to have a clear definition of lightly raced, extensively raced and all shades between. For the purposes of this exercise I have created four groups as follows:

1. Very lightly raced, 0-5 starts inclusive

2. Lightly raced, 6-10 starts inclusive

3. Well tried, 11-15 starts inclusive

4. Extensively tried , 16 or more starts (Extensively tried is to be preferred to heavily raced which has a pejorative connotation while still in the barrier stalls)

Category 1. Includes unraced horses, which is rare for stallions but not so much for broodmares.

Study Groups

Peter Pring’s “Analysis Of Champion Racehorses” is an excellent reference work which recorded some key findings relating to the 100 champion performers of the 20th century

he examined in 1977. I won’t list them, but trust me their status is not in dispute.

One of his key findings was that extensive racing of colts and fillies had no detrimental effect on their future careers as producers.

The 96 sires of the champions who raced had an average of 17.4 starts each.

One had 50+, three had 40+ and nine had 30+ starts.

81 of the dams of the champions who raced had an average of 21 starts each. One had 80, four

had 60+, 8 had 50+, 13 had 40+ and18 had 30+ starts.

Peter Pring commented, “I would not like to draw any firm conclusions from these figures without engaging in extensive further research, although I do suppose one could say that they do not appear to support the popular contention that much-raced mares are unlikely to succeed at the stud.”

Further research has been done by others including myself and a précis of the findings follows.

PRETTY POLLY had 24 starts and was as pretty at stud as she was on the track.

Abram S Hewitt

Abram S Hewitt was a New Yorker who graduated from Oxford University with honours in philosophy, politics and economics going on to serve the American Government with distinction including organizing the Farm Credit Administration with the New Deal.

Fortunately he turned his best brain cells to the thoroughbred business where he became involved as a breeder, adviser and journalist. His two seminal reference works “Sire Lines” (1977) and “The Great Breeders And Their Methods” (1982) are required reading for committed breeders.

Among the many pearls of wisdom scattered throughout “The Great Breeders And Their Methods” we find this extract in the essay on Marcel Boussac, breeder of Tourbillon, Pharis and Djebel.

He writes, “In fact it has never been demonstrated satisfactorily to the author that a strenuous racing campaign does injury to the breeding qualities of mares.”

Selected Lists Of Elite Stallions And Mares

Perhaps you remain sceptical, despite Peter Pring’s methodical analysis of a large data set and Abram S Hewitt’s acknowledged wisdom. Then it’s time to take a look at some lists of influential stallions and mares to see how they themselves, or their sires or dams, fit into the four criteria outlined at the start of this essay.

List 1. Key stallions in modern sireline chains

Each stallion’s name is followed by his number of race starts and category (1. Very lightly raced etc…)

Phalaris - 24 starts - 4

Pharos - 30 starts - 4

Nearco - 14 starts - 3

Nearctic - 47 starts - 4

Northern Dancer - 18 starts - 4

Sadler’s Wells - 11 starts - 3

Galileo - 8 starts - 2

Frankel - 14 starts - 3

Native Dancer - 22 starts - 4

Raise A Native - 4 starts - 1

Mr Prospector - 14 starts - 3

Seeking The Gold - 15 starts - 3

Dubawi - 8 starts - 2

Royal Charger - 21 starts - 4

Turn-To - 8 starts - 2

Hail To Reason - 18 starts - 4

Halo - 31 starts - 4

Sunday Silence - 14 starts - 3

Deep Impact - 14 starts - 3

Summary of 19 cases

Category 1 – 1/19 very lightly raced

Category 2 – 3/19 lightly raced

Category 3 – 7/19 well tried

Category 4 – 8/19 extensively tried

That is quite striking, the majority of stallions in three of the major modern sireline chains were well tried as racehorses. With over 50% being extensively tried (category 4). Only one was very lightly raced.

To back up this impression I started looking through the records of the 205 stallions in Great Thoroughbred Sires Of The World (GTSOW) published by Bluebloods in 2006 and didn’t have to go far before finding the same result, a huge number of influential sires had extensive turf careers. Here are just a few:

Alcimedes 34 starts, Black Toney 40, Century 29, Grey Sovereign 22, Heroic 51 , His Majesty 22, Hyperion 13, Nijinsky 13, Princequillo 33, Ribot 16, Seattle Slew 17, Secretariat 21, Sir Gallahad 24, Tom Fool 30, Worden 22. I admit that is not a random sample but it serves to confirm the hypothesis that an extensive racing career is no detriment to a stallion’s eventual prospects at stud.

Who’s Your Momma

Turning our attention to fillies and mares it’s worth mentioning that Peter Pring’s analysis was merit based, not sex based, so the 100 champions included great fillies and mares. Abram S Hewitt’s remarks were specific for fillies and mares, but we can look at some lists of influential mares and run the statistics.

Scouring the internet I found a list of “The Top Ten Most Influential Mares” as rated by Janet Hickman in the authoritative online publication “The Racing Commentary” dated 2016. Just what I was looking for, an independently compiled list of influential mares. Their race records and categories follow:

Alruccaba - 4 starts – 1

Bahamian - 7 starts -2

Blush With Pride - 16 starts - 4

Coup De Folie - 7 starts - 2

Fall Aspen - 20 starts - 4

Glorious Song - 34 starts - 4

Highclere - 8 starts - 2

Lassie Dear - 26 starts - 4

Miesque - 16 starts – 4

Urban Sea - 24 starts - 4

Summary of 10 cases

Category 1 – 1/10 very lightly raced

Category 2 – 3/10 lightly raced

Category 3 – 0/10 well tried

Category 4 – 6/10 extensively tried

Small sample but similar result to the stallions, majority of these mares were extensively tried, only one was very lightly raced.

Finally let’s look at some Blue Hens and superstar mares that I’ve handpicked.

Before you scream “that’s not fair” please note that I’m not trying to show that “lightly raced is an asset”, but rather that extensive racing of fillies and mares is not a problem in and of itself. So here are some interesting cases: Kincsem 54 starts undefeated, tail female ancestress of the stallion Camelot.

Denise’s Joy 51 starts, rated the most influential modern mare in the ASB.

Urban Sea 24 start Arc winner, dam of leading sires Galileo and Sea The Stars

Vegas Showgirl 35 starts, dam of Winx

Pretty Polly 24 starts, one of the most influential mares in the GSB

Shadea 20 starts, dam of Lonhro and Niello

Footnote

By way of background to the material above, we should note that the default condition of length of racing careers of elite thoroughbreds is short rather than long.

The great owner/breeders of past and current eras were the notable exceptions, but in most cases, injury, loss of form, large commercial offers, or a combination thereof, conspired to cause early retirement.

The exponential increase in value of premium commercial stock in the modern era, particularly well bred colts, has undoubtedly accelerated this trend to early retirement. Extensive careers on the track are the exception rather than the rule.

The stud success of colts and fillies who retire after a very brief number of starts does nothing whatsoever to disprove the case in favour of having an extensive racing career as far as breeding potential goes. BB

WINX won 25 Gr1 races in her 33 starts an unbeaten run, clearly not unhindered by her dam Vegas Showgirl having started 35 times.

Leading the WORLD

With 105 races worth $1 million or more in 2025, more of the highest rated Group One races than any other jurisdiction; and more than 140,000 registered racehorse owners, Australian Racing is unlike anything else around the globe.

Kentucky Derby Prospects

by Alan Porter

Although it’s only the first week in March, for many Kentucky Derby hopefuls, the “Run for the Roses” is only one race away. Here we’ll have a look at what currently appear to the the leading prospects for the first Saturday in May.

PRINCIPAL CONTENDERS

CITIZEN BULL

(Into Mischief – No Joke by Distorted Humor)

Last year’s Champion Two-Year-Old will bid to follow Street Sense and Nyquist as the third Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (Gr1) to add the Kentucky Derby (Gr1). He showed that he was still on course in the February 1, Robert B. Lewis Stakes (Gr3), which he took by 3¾ lengths. His trio of victories have all been achieved with fairly easy leads, and whether he’ll prove to be something beyond a one-dimensional miler type has yet to be established.

Citizen Bull is yet another credit for his sire, Into Mischief (by the Storm Cat grandson, Harlan’s Holiday), who now owns six U.S. Leading Sire titles, as well as another six as Leading Sire of Two-YearOlds. Into Mischief is somewhat associated with speed, and he has sired Champion Sprint Fillies Gamine and Covfefe, but he’s also been represented by Kentucky Derby (Gr1) winners Authentic and Mandaloun, and his son, Goldencents, is responsible for last year’s Derby scorer, Mystik Dan.

Citizen Bull’s dam, No Joke, is a daughter of Distorted Humor, and Into Mischief has struck-up an extremely rewarding relationship with mares by that horse, the cross producing 11 stakes winners from 62 starters (18% stakes winners to starters), including other grade one winners Life Is Good and Practical Joke. No Joke is half-sister to Moonshine Memories who took the Chandelier Stakes (Gr1) and Debutante Stakes (Gr1) at two. Her dam, Unenchantedevening, a daughter of Unbridled’s Song, is half-sister to Favorite Trick, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (Gr1) in 1997, and not only the Champion Two-Year-Old of his generation, but also Horse of the Year at that age. Another halfsister to Unenchantedevening, the stakes placed Crafty and Evil, appears as third dam of Tiz The Law, winner of the Belmont Stakes (Gr1), Travers Stakes (Gr1), Florida Derby (Gr1) and Champagne Stakes (Gr1), and a leading freshman sire last year.

SOVEREIGNTY

(Into Mischief – Crowned by Bernardini) Like Citizen Bull, Sovereignty is a son of Into Mischief, but he is a very different type of horse. He didn’t break his maiden until his third start, but that win came

in the Street Sense Stakes (Gr3), run over the Kentucky Derby surface at Churchill Downs, last October. He didn’t face the starter again until March 1, when he came from last in a six-horse field to catch the front runner, River Thames, at the wire in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (Gr2). He’ll likely aim to complete his Derby preparation in the Florida Derby (Gr1) Sovereignty, who seems like to continue to improve with distance, is out of Crowned a daughter of Bernardini, and Mushka, an Empire Maker mare who had the distinction of winning graded stakes events on dirt (the Spinster Stakes (Gr1), turf and all-weather surfaces. The third dam, stakes winner Sluice, is out of Seattle Slew’s four-time grade one winning daughter Lakeway. The family goes back to Nellie Morse, who defeated colts in the second leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes (Gr1) back in 1923. On an historical note, we’ll mention that Nellie Morse’s pedigree had strong New Zealand and Australian links. Her sire, Luke McLuke, was out of Midge, who was by twice Champion Australian Sire, Trenton (born in New Zealand), and was closely related to Carbine. Nellie Morse’s dam was by the top-class Abercorn, whose victories included the AJC Australian Derby, out of a mare by Trenton, to whom she was inbred 3x3.

The quality of your results depends on the quality of your decisions.

I AM INVINCIBLE: 80% winners to runners, three-time Champion Sire - 2021/22, 2022/23 & 2023/24 - joining Yarraman-bred Snitzel and Danehill as the only sires to win three consecutive titles this century, G1-producing sire-sons & daughters producing G1 winners in both hemispheres; HELLBENT: Champion Third Season Sire, Stakes winners in all four racing crops inc. two G1 winners from his first; BRAVE SMASH: G1-winning, G1-producing sire - first Yarramanbased yearlings offered in 2026. Three proven sires getting results.

JOURNALISM

(Curlin – Mopotism by Uncle Mo) Journalism looked promising last year when capturing the Los Alamitos Futurity (Gr2). That promise was fulfilled in his first start of the new year, the San Felipe Stakes (Gr2), where he ran down the speedy Barnes, to score by 1½ lengths. In doing he so he notched a Beyer Speedfigure of 108, a number good enough to have won every Kentucky Derby (Gr1) since 2009 onwards. Anything approaching that effort in the Santa Anita Derby (Gr1) would likely see Journalism go into the Kentucky Derby (Gr1) as favorite. Distance should hold no fears for Journalism who is by, Curlin, one of North America’s premier classic stallions. Curlin has yet to be represented by a Kentucky Derby (Gr1) captor, but two of his sons have already been responsible for winners of that race. Journalism’s dam, Mopotism, would rank among the more accomplished daughters of her sire, Uncle Mo and up-and-coming broodmare sire. Successful in the La Canada Stakes (Gr2) and Island Fashion Stakes, Mopotism took second in three

other graded stakes events, and third in another six, including the Ogden Phipps Stakes (Gr1), Santa Margarita Stakes (Gr1), La Brea Stakes (Gr1) and Starlet Stakes (Gr1).

Incidentally, Journalism is inbred to Curlin’s broodmare sire, Deputy Minister, a pattern found in 11 of Curlin’s graded stakes winners, five grade one.

BARNES

(Into Mischief -All American Dream by American Pharoah)

His dam, All American Dream showed nothing in two starts, but has the distinction of being the first daughter of the Triple Crown hero, American Pharoah, to produce a stakes winner. She’s half-sister to Wind Fire, a sprint stakes winner in England. The second dam, by A.P. Indy, is a sister to Majestic Warrior, who took the Hopeful Stakes (Gr1) at two, and is out of Dream Supreme, a two-time grade one winner at 1400m. His good effort and 1700m not withstanding, this is a fast pedigree, and it’s hard to envisage Barnes improving the Derby distance of 2000m.

COAL BATTLE

(Coal Front – Wolfblade by Midshipman)

Coal Battle’s sire Coal Front (by Stay Thirsty, by Bernardini), was a good sprinter/miler who had the distinction of being the first graded stakes winner by an A.P. Indy line stallion out of an A.P. Indy line mare. He stood briefly in Kentucky, where he sired CITIZEN-BULL

In the same Bob Baffert barn as Citizen Bull, Barnes opened his career with a win over 1100m at two, and a 6½ lengths tally in the 1400m San Vicente Stakes (Gr2) on his debut at three. He was odds-on for the San Felipe Stakes (Gr2) and made the running there until Journalism breezed past. While that has taken some of the shine off Barnes, it’s also worth noting that had Journalism not been present, he would have been a wide margin winner, of the 1700m contest, running an impressive Beyer Speedfigure, and potentially taking position as Derby favorite.

One of the more interesting horses on the Triple Crown trail this year from a pedigree standpoint is Coal Battle, winner last out of the Rebel Stakes (Gr2). He is unbeaten in five starts on dirt, including four stakes wins in his last four starts.

INTO MISCHIEF

Coal Battle – his only graded stakes winner to date – in his second crop, but is now in Louisiana where he was advertised to cover the most recent season at a fee $2,000.

Coal Battle’s dam, Wolfblade, won nine of 39 races, and also earned some blacktype with a third in the West Virginia Nutrition Breeders’ Classic, a contest for state-breds at Charles Town. She ended her career, however, running unplaced for $4,500 claiming tag.

We mentioned that Coal Front was the first graded stakes winner bred on an A.P. Indy/ A.P. Indy cross (there’s been just one since, the 2020 Delaware Oaks (Gr3) scorer Project Whiskey), but that’s not all there is to the pedigree. The A.P. Indy crosses in Coal Front’s pedigree are through Bernardini, a Seattle Slew/Fappiano (Mr. Prospector) cross and Mineshaft, but his granddam is by a son of Mr. Prospector out of a Seattle Slew mare. When we turn to the pedigree of Coal Battle’s dam, Wolfblade, we see that she is by Champion Two-Year-Old Midshipman, a Fappiano (Mr. Prospector)/Seattle Slew cross. Her dam is by Latent Heat,

whose own dam is by a son of Seattle Slew out of a Mr. Prospector mare, and her granddam is by Cape Town, who is by a son of Mr. Prospector out of a Seattle Slew mare. This means that Coal Battle, himself a Seattle Slew/Fappiano (Mr. Prospector cross) has six Seattle Slew/Mr. Prospector or Mr. Prospector/ Seattle Slew crosses in his pedigree. This accumulation of a powerful combination (Seattle Slew and Mr. Prospector are both from the famed Frizette family) appears to have resulted in an upgrading to the pedigree, and it will be interesting to see if it also continues to allow Coal Battle to continue to outrun what on the surface is a more speed-oriented pedigree.

CAPTAIN COOK

(Practical Joke – Pow Wow Wow by Indian Charlie)

The lightly-raced Captain Cook has won the last two of his three starts, the most recent being the Withers Stakes, which he took by 2¼ lengths. Captain Cook is by Practical Joke, a son of Into Mischief who won three grade

one events from 1400 to 1600m. Practical Joke is now a fast-rising young sire, and he’s already been represented by four grade one winners, as well as enjoying outstanding success as a shuttle sire in Chile. His runners have, however, tended towards the speedier end of the spectrum. The dam, Pow Wow Wow, is a grade two placed daughter of Indian Charlie. The third dam, Bird Town, earned a title as Champion Three-Year-Old Filly of 2003, and is half-sister to Birdstone, who foiled Smarty Jones’s Triple Crown bid in the 2004 Belmont Stakes (Gr1).

FLOOD ZONE

(Frosted – Curls For Girls by Curlin) Like Captain Cook, Flood Zone is on the New York winter route to the Derby (with many of New York’s top trainers and horses having departed to Florida for the season). An expensive private purchase by Wathnan Racing after winning a maiden special weight over 1300m at Gulfstream Park in early January, he returned to score an impressive triumph in the 1600m Gotham Stakes (Gr3).

Flood Zone is by the Tapit horse, Frosted, who did run fourth in the Kentucky Derby (Gr1) and second in the Belmont Stakes (Gr1), but produced his best performance the following year, with a spectacular win in the 1600m Metropolitan Handicap (Gr1). Given his pedigree and ability, Frosted has been a rather disappointing sire and although he has 28 Northern Hemishper stakes winners, he’s never been represented by a grade one scorer. From Australia shuttle crops, he’s had four graded winners, all sprinters. Stamina comes into the pedigree by way of the broodmare sire, Curlin, although the dam scored over 1300m and is a sister to a graded stakes winning sprinter/miler. She’s also closely related to the graded winning and grade placed sprinter Souper Sensational.

MAGNITUDE

(Not This Time – Rockadelic by Bernardini) Magnitude won’t be in action on the first Saturday in May, but deserves a mention with a view to the post-classic season. He burst on the scene, when as a 40-1 longshot, he triumphed by 9¾ lengths in the LeComte Stakes (Gr3). He did take advantage of an uncontested lead on a speed-favoring track, that day, but his Beyer Speedfigure of 108 achieved with that run is matched only by that of Journalism among this year’s classic three-year-olds. Unfortunately, Magnitude came out of the race with an ankle chip that was surgically removed a few days after the race. All being well he should be able to return in late summer, and we’ll get a chance to find out to what degree the performance was an artifice of circumstance, and to what degree it revealed his emergence as a true top-class horse. Magnitude is from the fifth crop of Not This Time, whom we discussed in detail with regard to his soon to shuttle son, Cogburn. A son of Giant’s Causeway, Not This Time only started four times, all at two, and on his last two outings won the Iroquois Stakes by 8¾ lengths, and missed by just a neck to Classic Empire in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (Gr1). He’s rapidly risen to the upper echelon of the US stallion ranks, and has become notable for the versatility of his offspring which also include Champion Three-Year-Old Colt Epicenter and Champion U.S. Turf Horse Up to the Mark. Magnitude’s dam, Rockadelic, is a onceraced daughter of Bernardni, and the top-class racemare Octave (by Unbridled’s Song, also sire of the brilliant Liam’s Map out of the dam of Not This Time).

Beyond this, the pedigree is an extremely interesting one, as although it’s not obvious from a five cross pedigree, it builds up a remarkable accumulation of strains associated with Florida’s Tartan Farm (who produced such as Fappiano, Dr. Fager and In Reality). The pedigree of Not This Time’s dam, Miss Macy Sue,

features In Reality (by Intentionally, out of Champion Two-Year-Old Filly My Dear Girl, by Intentionally). Her dam, Yada, is inbred 2x3 to twice Champion Sprinter Ta Wee (by Intentionally out of Aspidistra) and is by Great Above (by a son out Rough ‘n Tumble out of Ta Wee). Magnitude’s broodmare sire, Bernardini, is out of a mare by Quiet American, who is 3x2 to Dr. Fager (by Rough ‘n Tumble out of Aspidistra, so half-brother to Ta Wee, and closely related to Great Above). Her dam, Octave, is by a son of Unbridled, who brings in Dr. Fager and In Reality, and is inbred to Aspidistra, and is out of a mare by Dr. Carter, whose own dam is out My Dear Girl, and so half-sister to In Reality. All in all this gives Dr. Fager 7x6x7, Aspidistra 6x7x8x7x8x8, Rough ‘n Tumble 8x6x8x7x8x9x7, Intentionally 7x6x7x8 and My Dear Girl 7x8x6, mostly through related individuals.

OTHER NOTABLES

Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie – Bernadreamy by Bernadini) was an unbeaten winner of the Champagne Stakes (Gr1) and Hopeful Stakes (Gr1), until running unplaced in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (Gr1) a race which he exited with an ankle chip. He returns in the Tampa Bay Derby (Gr2). He’s from the first crop of the very promising Street Sense horse, McKinzie, and bred on the Street Sense/ Bernardini cross that has already produced six stakes winners, including grade one winners Maxfield and Speaker’s Corner. The granddam, Dream Empress, won the Alcibiades Stakes (Gr1) and ran second in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (Gr1).

Madaket Road

(Quality Road – Frolic’s Dream) was runner-up in a graded stakes on his debut last year, then took his maiden. Third in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (Gr3), he returned just three weeks later for the Rebel Stakes (Gr2), where after setting a testing pace, he held on well for second. He’s by Quality Road (Elusive Quality), long one of North America’s top sires through such as last year’s Champion Older Horse National Treasure, and Kentucky Oaks (Gr1) victress Abel Tasman. The dam, who has also produced a juvenile sprint stakes winner, was a grade two winning sprinter, and is by a Champion Sprinter, and stamina must be a question here.

Sandman

(Tapit – Distorted Music by Distorted Humor) has yet to win anything more significant than an allowance event, but he finished well for second in the Southwest Stakes (Gr3) after blowing the start, and was charging hard again when third to Coal Battle and Madaket Road in the

Rebel Stakes (Gr2). A horse who looks as if he should get better as the distances become longer, he’s by veteran sire Tapit, out of a Distorted Humor mare that won at as far as 1700m, and produced the grade three winner She Can’t Sing, to Tapit’s close relative Bernardini.

River Thames

(Maclean’s Music – Proportionality by Discreet Cat) won his first two races, and then almost captured Fountain of Youth Stakes (Gr2), being caught late by Sovereignty. His sire, a one-raced son of Distorted Humor did sire Preakness Stakes (Gr1) scorer, Cloud Computing, but he’s also had grade one winning speedsters Jackie’s Warrior, Drain the Clock and Complexity. The dam is three-quarters sister to the top-class sprinter, Dad’s Caps, and the second dam is half-sister to another multiple grade one winning speedster, Paulassilverlining. The question here is did he lose concetration late in the Fountain of Youth, or was he running out of stamina?

Burnham Square

(Liam’s Map – Linda by Scat Daddy) a gelding, was a decisive winner of the Holy Bull Stakes (Gr3), but failed to fire when fourth in the Fountain of Youth. By Liam’s Map (an Unbridled’s Song half-brother to Not This Time), he is one of nearly 60 stakes winners, 21 graded, whose pedigrees combine Unbridled (grandsire of Liam’s Map) and Johannesburg (sire of Scat Daddy). Unbridled is by Fappiano, who is by Mr. Prospector out of Killaloe, and Johannesburg is out of Myth who is by Ogygian (dam a half-sister to Killaloe) out of a mare by Mr. Prospector. Burnham Square is one that should have no problems with distance, and will likely look to show to better effect in the Florida Derby (Gr1).

Getaway Car

(Curlin – Surrender Now by Morning Line) won the Best Pal Stakes (Gr3) at two, generally fell a little short against the best, with seconds in the American Pharoah Stakes (Gr1) and Los Alamitos Futurity (Gr2), and fourths in the Del Mar Futurity (Gr1) and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (Gr1). Traveling to New Mexico, he won a fierce battle with Caldera (Liam’s Map) in the $400,000 Sunland Park Derby. A son of Curlin, he’s out of two-year-old sprint stakes winner, Surrender Now, and goes back to a branch of the La Troienne family that produced Kentucky Derby (Gr1) winner Sea Hero.

Too Darn Hot

On more than one occasion, Australian racing and breeding has had to forego using a shuttle stallion right after proving to be a huge success in his early years in Australia.

The modern-day example is Too Darn Hot who shuttled for four consecutive seasons from 2020 to 2023 and was slated to stand his fifth season at a fee of $110,000 only to become a very late withdrawal. It’s not the first time this has happened to sires from this line. Too Darn Hot’s own sire Dubawi spent three seasons in the Hunter Valley from where he delivered 22 Stakes winners at an excellent rate of 11.6 per cent but such was his success in Europe that he was deemed too valuable to shuttle thereafter. Meanwhile,

by John Boyce

Dubawi’s current most expensive stallion son at stud in the northern hemisphere, Night of Thunder, spent only one season in Australia producing seven Stakes winners (13.5 per cent) from only 52 runners, again an excellent return.

However, Too Darn Hot’s early success is on a different scale to that of Dubawi and Night of Thunder, as good as they were. To put it in context, Too Darn Hot’s ten Stakes winners so far have come along at a top-class rate of 12.3 per cent from runners. Even more impressive is his tally

of seven Group winners. It is nothing short of outstanding to have seven Group winners on the board at this early stage in his career as it hasn’t happened with any other Australian or New Zealand sire this century. The great Redoute’s Choice had six at the same point, as did Stravinsky, while Exceed and Excel, Rock of Gibraltar, Zoustar and his sire Northern Meteor had five apiece. And while it might be true in a general sense that modern day sires tend to have more runners and hence more opportunity to lead these rankings, this is

TOO DARN HOT (Dubawi-Dar Re Mi-by Singspiel) has become hot property.

not the case with Too Darn Hot, as he also boasts the highest strike rate of any sire this century with a score of 8.6 per cent Group winners to runners.

Leaving the metrics aside, Too Darn Hot’s list of top horses is also an impressive read. Topped by the exciting Broadsiding, who has already got three Gr1 victories on his CV, including the Champagne and Golden Rose, Too Darn Hot sired his fourth Gr2 winner recently when second crop son Rivellino made it three from three with his nice win in the Skyline Stakes at Randwick. He is one of three Group horses from only 14 runners from Too Darn Hot’s promising second crop.

Things have gone very well for Too Darn Hot up north, too, which is why he’s staying put at the moment. His first two year-olds featured four Group winners (5.7 per cent) from 70 runners, including Gr1 Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Fallen Angel. Importantly, the son of Dubawi backed it up with a talented second crop of youngsters, featuring Gr1 Futurity Trophy winner Hotazhell and Gr2 scorer Simmering. Meanwhile, first season star Fallen Angel trained on to bag the Gr1 Irish 1,000 Guineas while Darnation and Etes Vous Prets were Gr2 winners in Germany and Japan respectively.

Given that Too Darn Hot is unavailable to breeders in Australia and New Zealand it was no surprise to hear that Rosemont Stud have recruited Dubawi stallion Henry Longfellow for 2025 at a fee of $22,000. This exciting son of seven time Gr1 winner and dual Classic heroine Minding played a significant part in the European miling division last year after an undefeated twoyear-old campaign which saw him win the Gr1 National Stakes and Gr2 Futurity Stakes. At his very best on a sound surface which will stand him in good stead in Australia, Henry Longfellow put up a seasonal best performance when just denied by Rosallion in the Gr1 St James’s Palace at Royal Ascot to earn a career-high Timeform mark of 122, which put him behind only Rosallion (126) and the Dubawi pair Notable Speech (126) and Lead Artist (124) in the three year-old mile division. Bred on the same Dubawi/Galileo cross as Night of Thunder (Timeform 127) and retired to Coolmore at a fee of €30,000, Henry Longfellow is an exciting prospect given that he’s not only an undefeated Gr1 winning juvenile he is the second foal of European Horse of the Year and Timeform 127 rated Minding who displayed rare versatility and class when dropping back to a mile to land the allaged Gr1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes having already won the 12 furlong Gr1 Oaks at Epsom as a three year-old.

At the time of writing, Henry Longfellow is the only Dubawi announced for 2025, but there may well be others, given the pentup demand for a Dubawi stallion like Too Darn Hot. In Europe, Dubawi’s reputation for providing top commercially attractive sire sons is riding the crest of a wave. The

aforementioned Night of Thunder, who stands at €150,000 this spring – his highest ever fee, is delivering Stakes winners at an excellent rate of 12 per cent and Group winners at 5.8 per cent and it is 15.5 per cent Stakes winners and 10.1 per cent Group winners from his elite mares, which are making up most of his books these days. After his first infusion of top mares, earned after his excellent start at stud, he sired his best colt in the shape of Gr1 winner in Economics as well as Europe’s top rated Gr1 winning staying two year-old filly of last year in Desert Flower. Another Dubawi turning heads is Zarak, sire of 12.3 per cent Stakes winners and 8.4 per cent Group winners so far. Moreover, from just a handful of top mares he’s sired a remarkable 18 per cent Group winners, so there is much more to come from the Haras de Bonneval stallion whose European nominations are priced at €80,000 this spring. There may also be more to come from New Bay, sire of Gr1 winners Bay Bridge, Bayside Boy and Saffron Beach, whose best bred crops are all ahead of him, starting with this year’s three year-olds. That group already feature a Gr2 winning two year-old in Bay City Roller. And then there’s Ghaiyyath – another Dubawi out of a Galileo mare – who has any number of promising three year-olds emerging this spring, none more so than the unbeaten Opera Ballo, who is among Europe’s top 2,000 Guineas prospects.

One thing is for sure, we can expect plenty of competition for the remaining final Australian crop yearlings by Too Darn Hot at the upcoming Inglis Easter Sale.

A Darling Double

Darling My Darling was purchased by Debby Oxley’s husband John for US $300,000 at the 1998 Keeneland Yearling Sale and retired with earnings of US $352,359.

The world’s richest race, the Saudi Cup Gr-1 run over 1800m on February 22 resulted in a clash of two champions. Japan’s outstanding four-yearold Forever Young (Real Steel-Forever Darling by Congrats) was able to hold off Romantic Warrior in a thrilling finish. Rated Japan’s champion three-yearold on dirt, Forever Young supplied a decent return on investment for Susuma Fujita who spent 98 million yen for the yearling colt offered by Northern Farm. At time of writing, Forever Young is the winner of eight of 10 starts, twice third for earnings of 2,135,033,340 yen and heads towards the Dubai World Cup Gr1. He is from the second crop of foals by Real Steel, descending from Halo’s male line of Sunday Silence. Forever Young’s career to date shows:

2 Years – Won JBC Nisai Yushun Gr3 over 1800m, Nippon Yushun (Listed) over 1600m and 2YO Maiden at Kyoto over 1800m.

3 Years – Won Tokyo Daishoten Gr1 over 2000m, UAE Derby Gr2 over 1900m, Saudi Derby Gr3 over 1600m, Japan Dirt Classic (Listed) over 2000m, third Kentucky Derby Gr1 over 2000m and third Breeder’s Cup Classic Gr1 over 2000m.

4 years – Won Saudi Cup Gr1 over 1800m. Forever Young was desperately unlucky in the Kentucky Derby Gr1, being seriously compromised by interference. Beaten a nose by Mystic Dan and a nose by Sierra Leone, he impressed everyone at Churchill Downs. Later, he would meet up with Sierra Leone again, finishing third to him in Del Mar’s Breeder’s Cup Classic Gr1. Forever Young finished his three-year-old campaign by winning the valuable Tokyo Daishoen Gr1 defeating Wilson Tesoro.

Forever Young’s sire Real Steel was bred by Northern Farm and raced by Sunday Racing Company. He won four races and was runner-up in the Japanese 2,000 Guineas Gr1 (Satsuki Sho), Japanese St. Leger Gr1, Tenno Sho Autumn Gr1 and Spring Stakes Gr2. He won the Dubai Turf Gr1, Manichi Okan Gr2 and Kyodo New Service Hai Gr3. Real Steel stands at Shadai Stallion Station and is by Deep Impact from Love’s Only Me by Storm Cat. His third dam is multiple Champion Miesque, daughter of Nureyev. Deep Impact was leading sire in Japan for a decade and won 12 of 14 starts including the Triple Crown. By champion Sunday Silence, he was Japan’s Horse of The Year 2005, 2006.

SIERRA LEONE, Bay colt, 2021

Forever Young’s dam Forever Darling is by A. P. Indy’s son Congrats and was bred by Debby Oxley for whom she won the Santa Ysabel Stakes Gr2. Forever Darling was second in the Angels Flight Stakes and was purchased by Northern

Racing (Japan). Her sire Congrats won seven times for earnings of US $998,960 including the San Pasqual Handicap Gr2 and Alysheba Stakes (L). Congrats was second Santa Anita Handicap Gr1

and third Hollywood Gold Cup Gr1.

Forever Young’s second dam Darling My Darling is by Deputy Minister from Roamin Rachel by Mining.

Darling My Darling is also the second dam of Sierra Leone, last year’s U. S. Champion 3YO whose wins include the Breeder’s Cup Classic Gr1.

Darling My Darling was purchased by Debby Oxley’s husband John for US $300,000 at the 1998 Keeneland Yearling Sale and retired with earnings of US $352,359. At two, she was runner-up in two major events, the Matron Stakes Gr1 and Frizette Stakes Gr1. She went on to win the Raven Run Stakes (L), Doubledogdare Stakes (L) and finished third in the Beaumont Stakes Gr2.

In Forever Young’s pedigree we find a triple of Mr Prospector, a double of Secretariat via daughters and balanced linebreeding to Northern Dancer. It highlights powerful impact from the great champion Native Dancer (PolynesianGeisha) who is duplicated many times via both sexes. Also contributing speed and stamina is the multiple duplication of Teddy, especially via brothers Sir Gallahad III and Bull Dog. Roamin Rachel (by Mining) was a foundation mare in Kentucky for owner/breeder Glencrest Farm. She won nine of 15 starts for US $528,778 including the Ballerina Handicap Gr1 and Beaumont Stakes Gr2. She was sold for US $750,000 at Keeneland November Sale as a broodmare in foal to Storm Cat, bought by Shiraol Farm, Japan. In 2002 she was bought privately by Glencrest

Farm and returned to her birthplace. Mining (Mr Prospector-I Pass by Buckpasser) was inbred 2 x 4 to Raise A Native (Native Dancer) and is bred on the same cross as leading sires Miswaki, Woodman and Seeking the Gold. Mining inherited small hooves and despite the fact he was not perfect in the knees, he was fast enough to win six of seven starts including the Vosburg Stakes Gr1. Bred and owned by Ogden Mills Phipps he was eventually sold as a stallion to Japan.

SIERRA LEONE

The Saudi Cup Gr1 was bypassed by Sierra Leone, Eclipse Champion 3YO Male. At Fasig-Tipton Yearling Sale he was purchased for US $2.3 million by a syndicate comprising Susan Magnier, Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor, Peter Brant, Westerberg and Rocket Ship Racing. The handsome yearling was on everyone’s hit list, ticking all the boxes. Sierra Leone (Gun Runner-Heavenly Love) is now an extremely valuable sire prospect, winning four of nine starts for US $6,008,000. After showing promise at two when runner-up in Aqueduct’s Remsen Stakes Gr2 over a mile, he progressed to win the Risen Star Stakes Gr2 and Blue Grass Stakes Gr1 both over 9 furlongs before finishing second in the Kentucky Derby Gr1. He then followed up with third in the Belmont Stakes Gr1, second in the Jim Dandy Stakes Gr2 and Travers Stakes Gr1 prior to his brilliant winning performance in the Breeder’s Cup Classic Gr1 over 10 furlongs at Del Mar.

Because Forever Young and Sierra Leone have champion Mr Prospector duplicated in their genotypes one would hope they can sire stakes performers on both surfaces.

The pedigree of Sierra Leone reveals four sources of Mr Prospector (sire of Fappiano, Macoumba and Mining). Of special note, Ride the Rails is a grandson of Alanesian, by Polynesian (sire of Native Dancer). Siblings Bull Dog, Sir Gallahad III and Marguerite de Valois (all by Teddy from Plucky Liege by Spearmint) compliment the strains of Nearco and Nearctic.

Sierra Leone’s sire Gun Runner (currently among the leading sires in North America) is essentially regarded as a sire of dirt performers. Standing 16.2 hands, the chestnut stallion stands at Three Chimneys Farm. Apart from Sierra Leone, he has sired champion filly Echo Zulu, Taiba, Gunite, Society, Cyberknife and Early Voting (Preakness Stakes Gr1). Voted U. S. Horse of the Year, Gun Runner won 12 of 19 starts to earn more than US $16 million. His major victories include the valuable Pegasus World Cup Gr1, Breeder’s Cup Classic Gr1, Woodward Stakes Gr1 and Whitney Stakes Gr1. Gun Runner is a son of Candy Ride (Arg), a stallion with flawless conformation. I inspected Candy Ride at Lane’s End Farm and was truly impressed. Undefeated from six starts, he won the Gran Premio San Isidro Gr-1 turf over 1600m by eight lengths and set a world record of 1-31.01 for 1600m on turf when winning the Gran Premio Joaquin S de Anchorene Stakes Gr-1 by eight lengths. He was voted Champion Miler of Argentina. Purchased by Jenny Craig and her husband for US$900,000 in a private transaction, Candy Ride showed brilliance on dirt as well as turf in California. Not entered for the Breeder’s Cup races, he kept winning and took out the American Handicap Gr2 at Hollywood Park and Del Mar’s Pacific Classic Stakes Gr1 on dirt over 10 furlongs in track record time, covering the distance in 1-59.11. Candy Ride would sire six champions. Because Forever Young and Sierra Leone have champion Mr Prospector duplicated in their genotypes one would hope they can sire stakes performers on both surfaces.

Too Darn Hot

Currently the hottest young sire in Europe and Australia is Too Darn Hot (Dubawi-Dar Re Mi by Singspiel), the young Darley stallion was bred by Watership Down Stud and became leading first season sire in Australia.

Too Darn Hot voted Cartier Champion 2YO of Europe and Champion 3YO Miler, won the Dewhurst Stakes Gr1, Goodwood Sussex Stakes Gr1, Prix Jean Prat Gr1, Doncaster Champagne Stakes Gr2 and was runner-up in the Irish 2,000 Guines Gr1. His father possessed a genetic affinity with Northern Dancer’s descendants, especially Danehill, Sadler’s Wells and Galileo.

Let’s take a brief look at the pedigrees of some of Too Darn Hot’s stakes winners,

starting with the brilliant two-year-old Rivellino, unbeaten at time of writing with three wins including the Skyline Stakes Gr2, Inglis Millenium Stakes RL and earnings of $1,465,000. Rivellino was bred by Mr S. J. Murray and is raced by a syndicate headed by Messrs Throsby and Murray which includes the colt’s trainer Kris Lees.

The pedigree shows duplication of the Aga Khan’s elite mare Delsy (Abdos-Kelty), third dam of Too Darn Hot and dam of champion

Darshaan, broodmare sire of High Chaparral (sire of So You Think) see pedigree.

For His Highness Karim Aga Khan, Darshaan won five of six starts including the Prix du Jockey Club Gr1 (French Derby), Prix Hocquart Gr2, Prix Greffulhe Gr2 etc. A powerful horse with wonderful temperament he stood at Gilltown Stud.

Delsy’s sire Abdos was linebred to Teddy via Asterus and La Moquese. Delsy traces back to influential mare Tourzima by Tourbillon.

SADLER’S WELLS

When studying Rivellino’s pedigree it must be mentioned that Tourbillon and his son Djebel link up well with Teddy’s strain. Sadler’s Wells is duplicated via two sons. Of genetic significance, the female line of Sadler’s Wells is reinforced not only by Perugino (dam Fairy Bridge) but also by brother and sister Thatch and Thong (dam of Special). Rustic Amber is by English Champion Sprinter Thatching, son of Thatch.

Rivellino was able to come with a devastating run to catch talented colt Skyhook (Written Tycoon) in the Skyline Stakes Gr2. On the same day at Rosehill, the Sweet Embrace Stakes Gr2 was won by a brilliant filly named Within The Law (Lucky Vega).

Darshaan ex DELSY

Broadsiding (Too Darn Hot-Speedway by Street Cry) our Champion 2YO colt recently returned with victory in the Hobartville Stakes Gr2 over 1400m. From six wins he earned $3.2 million and confirmed his class when finishing third to Via Sistena in the W. S. Cox Plate Gr1. His second dam is by Redoute’s Choice by Danehill. Broadsiding is linebred to Mr Prospector and Halo with a great pedigree pattern for a stallion.

Another Group winner bred on similar lines to Broadsiding is Arabian Summer (Too Darn Hot-Maraam by Street Cry), winner of the MRC Peter Le Grand Stakes Gr3. To date this speedy filly has won five of nine starts for $1,392,400. She finished second in the Magic Millions Debutante Stakes LR and third in the VRC Ottawa Stakes Gr3. With a strong pedigree pattern she is linebred to Mr Prospector and Halo. Last year, Too Darn Discreet (Too Darn Hot-Maybe Discreet by Shamardal) won the Edward Manifold Stakes Gr2 over 1600m at Flemington and the Ethereal Stakes Gr3 over 2000m at Caulfield. Bred by Mr D. Peacock (South Australia) she races for a syndicate and is another linebred to Mr Prospector and Halo. Her dam is 4 x 3 to champion Storm Bird. Fallen Angel (Too Darn Hot-Agnes Stewart by Lawman) progressed to win the Irish 1000 Guineas Gr1 at the Curragh. At two she won the Moyglare Stud Stakes Gr1 and Newmarket Sweet Solera Stakes Gr3. At three, apart from her classic victory in Ireland she finished second in the Matron Stakes Gr1 and fourth in the Prix de l’Opera Gr1. Her pedigree shows duplication of Delsy via Darara and Darshaan. She is linebred to Mr Prospector and Shirley Heights.

The Delsy duplication was noted in Rivellino and is found in two of Too Darn Hot’s first three Gr1 winners.

The bay colt Tropicus (Too Darn HotExtensible by Exceed and Excel) recently won the Zeditave Stakes Gr3 for Kia Ora Stud who bred him in partnership with Mrs J Kelly and Mr D. Kelly. Previously

Tropicus was runner-up in the Manfred Stakes Gr3 and San Dominico Stakes Gr3. He represents an example of using Danehill via Exceed and Excel.

Boiling Point (Too Darn Hot-Lady Momoka by Shamardal) is the winner of two of six starts for owner/breeder Sheikh Muhammed Obaid al-Maktoum. Trained by Roger Varian, the bay colt recently won the King Charles II Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket over 7 furlongs. At two he was runner-up in the Somerville Tattersall Stakes Gr3 over the same distance. His pedigree brings together the best sons of Champion mare Glorious Song, namely Singspiel and Rahy (sire of Mariah’s Storm, dam of Giant’s Causeway). Glorious Song is by Halo. Machiavellian’s dam Coup de Folie is also by Halo.

The co-owners of Too Darn Lizzie (Too Darn Hot-Enbihaar by Magnus) are Ms L Spender and Lord Lloyd Webber. The winner of two races including the Thousand Guineas Prelude Gr2 over 1400m at Caulfield, Too Darn Lizzie finished third in the classic Thousand Guineas Gr1 over 1600m and recently

SADLERS’S WELLS

Rivellino

finished third in the Angus Armanasco Stakes Gr2 over 1400m. At two she finished third in the Reisling Stakes Gr2 and Jim Maloney Stakes (Listed). To date she has earned $741,500.

Darnation (Too Darn Hot-Monday Monday by Galileo) bred and owned by Newton Anner Stud, won four of eight starts for earnings of 190,541 Pounds. At two she won the May Hill Stakes Gr2 over a mile at Doncaster and the Prestige Fillies Stakes Gr3 over 7 furlongs at Goodwood. Darnation became the second classic winner for her sire when winning the German 1000 Guineas Gr2 over 1600m. She is 5 x 3 to Sadler’s Wells and 5 x 5 to Mr Prospector.

Silverton Hill Partnership own HOTAZHELL (Too Darn Hot-Azenzar by Danehill Dancer) a colt bought for 200,000 guineas. He has earned more than that figure to date, scoring four times from six starts. He impressed when winning the Doncaster Futurity Stakes Gr1 over a mile which elevated him to be among the favourites for this year’s Epsom Derby Gr1. In Ireland, also at two, he won the Beresford Stakes Gr2 over a mile, Tyros Stakes Gr3 over 7 furlongs and finished runner-up in the Futurity Stakes Gr2 over 7 furlongs at the Curragh. Hotazhell gives the impression he will continue to progress this year at Group 1 level. Too Darn Hot is now available for southern hemisphere covers. Aussie owners of fillies by the stallion are certain to think twice about selling them. The stallion’s progeny are versatile at distances up to 2400m depending on the stamina of partners he covers.

Broadsiding

He upgrades his mares and gets high-class colts and high-class fillies, many being symmetrical in conformation. It is hoped sons of Too Darn Hot will in future be

MR PROSPECTOR

available at stud in Australia and New Zealand. Broadsiding (dam by Street Cry) might eventually stand at stud for Darley. Rivellino is an exciting prospect. From a pedigree study of stakes winners it appears Too Darn Hot likes Mr Prospector and Halo reinforced and mixes well with Danehill’s strain. Both Street Cry and Shamardal seem to have a genetic affinity with Too Darn Hot.

Other promising stakes winners sired by Too Darn Hot include Alyanaari (Kitten’s Joy) won Somerville Tattersalls Stakes Gr3, 2nd Dewhurst Stakes Gr1, Simmering (Fastnet Rock) won Prix du Calvados Gr2, Princess Margaret Stakes Gr-3, Shanwah (Ifraaj) won MVC Autumn Classic Gr2, Silmarillion (Redoute’s Choice) won Atlantic Jewel Stakes L, Hot Darling (Helmet) won Prix des Reves d’Or L, Perspiration (Casino Prince) won Heritage Stakes L and the very fast filly Gobi Desert (Zedative) won Max Lees Classic.

Which growing & breeding feed also works as a base feed for spelling, pre-training and racing?

Northerly and Tourzima

by Andrew Reichard

More than half a century separates the careers of our two subjects in this issue.

Most racing aficionados are familiar with the deeds of Northerly aka The Fighting Tiger. Foaled in 1996 Northerly was, to quote Rommy Faversham, that rarest of rare avises, a double RF. Northerly was by Serheed out of North Bell by Bellwaterand thus inbred within five generations to the mares Flaming Page and Dinner Partner through different individuals foaled by those two mares. Northerly was a gelding whose deeds will long be remembered but whose tale ended with him.

Less well known is the mare Tourzima foaled in 1939 by Tourbillon out of Djezima by Asterus. Her owner/breeder was the French textile magnate Marcel Boussac whose exploits as a breeder have rarely been matched. Boussac was a devotee of inbreeding to his own stallions and female families, with Tourzima the quintessential example of his method. She won a small race at her only start but has had an ongoing influence on international pedigrees which continues to current days.

The same as Northerly, but totally different. To paraphrase Murray Walker.

NORTHERLY

Northerly won 19 of his 37 starts from the ages of two to seven, nine being Gr1 contests. Included among the haul were successive Cox Plates, A Caulfield Cup with top weight and two Australian Cups. He had a style of motion akin to a crab, in running he was always 100/1, but with a heart bigger than himself, was 10/1 on in a finish.

Northerly’s Xray pedigree shows his inbreeding more clearly than any written description could achieve. It is apparent from the diagram that apart from featuring the double RF, the top and bottom halves of his pedigree are almost mirror images.

As is so often the case, and as I never cease to remind you, horses with such singular pedigree constructions featuring the RF and

NORTHERLY aka The fighting Tiger was a rare double RF.

1996

Elsewhere in this issue Ken McLean and John Boyce have additional analysis of Too Darn Hot, purely by coincidence. She is such an interesting subject to study, it is little wonder. Xray

double RF are frequently the only good horse by their sire, or clearly the best horse by their sire. And so it goes with Northerly.

His Sire Serheed was a very decent stallion, standing in Western Australia. His career record of 29 SW from 465 runners at almost 7% SW/R is very respectable, but only two were Gr1 winners, Kim Angel being the winner of a single Gr1, the WA Derby, but towering above the rest of Serheed’s runners was the colossus Northerly winner of 9 Gr1 contests, the horse with the spectacular pedigree. QED.

Footnote: The double RF is so rare that there are none in the 2025 Easter Sale. Successful sires who were double RFs include Sir Tristram, Pakistan, Roberto, Tudor Minstrel, Grosvenor Matrice and Mellay.

TOURZIMA

Tourzima was bred by Marcel Boussac and her influence on the modern thoroughbred is considerable. She was by Tourbillon out of Djezima by Asterus with a remarkable pedigree construction featuring the full sisters Durban and Heldifann who were the dams of Tourbillon and Djezima. Her sire and dam were foaled by full sisters as the Xray pedigree right shows.

Another Boussac homebred was the stallion Djeddah by Djebel out of Djezima. Djebel was a son of Tourbillon so we see a very similar pattern to that of Tourzima with, in this case, the grandsire and the dam being out of the same full sisters Durban and Heldifann. Djeddah’s Xray pedigree appears right to show the similarity.

This was worth mentioning because Djeddah sired the Blue Hen mare Lalun, dam of Bold Reason and Never Bend. The various permutations of inbreeding to Lalun, such as using Sadler’s Wells over mares by Shirley Heights or his son Darshaan form some of the strongest nicks in modern pedigrees. The various Sadler’s Wells/ Darshaan permutations are dynamite, no surprise really as Darshaan traces in tail female to Tourzima. So all horses inbred to Lalun with one strain involving Darshaan carry two lines of Djeddah and a third of Tourzima who are almost genetically identical.

Back to Tourzima, she is the ancestress of 35 Gr1 winners right down to the present day including the 2024 Epsom Oaks winner Ezeliya and Darley’s current red hot stallion Too Darn Hot. Her other influential descendants include the sires Acamas, Akiyda, Darshaan, Sinndar, Macip, Daliapour and the mares Delsy and Dar Re Mi. Several of these were bred and raced by the recently deceased Aga Khan who purchased the entire breeding stock of Marcel Boussac when it was sold owing to his financial difficulties.

To add perspective, Tourzima is the 5th dam of Darshaan and 7th dam of both Ezeliya and Too Darn Hot.

LAST ISSUE ANSWER

Miswaki (Mr Prospector – Hopespringseternal by Buckpasser) has emerged as a key name in modern pedigrees. For starters he is the sire of Arc winner Urban Sea, dam of Galileo and Sea The Stars. Another daughter Daltawa is the dam of Arc winner Dalakhani. Among his 10 individual Gr1 winners were Umatilla and Bachelor Duke in Australia and NZ respectively. But it’s for his deeds as a broodmare sire that Miswaki will be remembered. He is the sire of the dams of notable stallions Galileo, Sea The Stars, Daylami, Dalakhani, Hernando and Dr Fong.

Congratulations to our winner Kevin Simmonds from Trigg, Western Australia.

Highlights from the Highlands

The fertile Southern Highlands region of NSW which includes Bowral, Moss Vale, Avoca, Wildes Meadow, Bundanoon, Robertson, Berrima, Burradoo, Mittagong and the picturesque Fitzroy Falls has emerged as a significant force on the Australian breeding scene in recent years with farms from the Highlands making headlines in the sale ring and on the track.

The area has a long history of producing quality thoroughbreds but has tended to drift from the limelight as breeders gravitated to the Hunter Valley which is home to the majority of New South Wales’s commercial stallions. Proximity equals convenience.

However, the benefits of the ideal climate and fertile soils of the Southern Highlands have not gone unnoticed by serious breeders and several quality broodmare operations have made the commitment to establish their farms there, committing significant resources to the project and the surrounding district.

Industry stalwart John Muir moved his Milburn Creek farm there to Wildes Meadow 25 years ago, while Steve and Eliza Grant’s Silverdale Farm is a relative newcomer in its sixth year of operation at Avoca.

Both farms are regularly listed at the top of the Magic Millions and Easter averages, and both are producing horses that live up to expectations on the track.

Silverdale has consistently been near the top of vendor’s averages with its most recent being a second at MM 2025 for 12 lots sold at an average of over $447k including a stunning Snitzel-Sweet Sherry filly for $1.6 million

by Andrew Reichard

to Kestrel Thoroughbreds/Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott on behalf of John Stewart’s Resolute Bloodstock. At the same sale Milburn Creek was third on averages with seven lots sold for an average of $444k including 1.7 million for an outstanding Wootton Bassett-Battleofwinterfell colt to leading agent Dean Hawthorne.

In its relatively young career Silverdale has already bred, raised or sold Golden Slipper winner Fireburn, Gr2 winner Pantonario, star 2yo Gr2 winner Eneeza and Gr1 winner-inwaiting Autumn Glow, while Milburn Creek graduates include Gr1 winners Sizzling, Secret Admirer, Magic Time and Once Were Wild. Why chose the Southern Highlands? Well who better to ask than Steve Grant and John Muir themselves.

Steve Grant commented, “I was looking for something closer than the Hunter Valley so I could be more involved in the design and operation of the farm. My comment to the agent was that if we got to the front gate and I didn’t like the topography we would turn around and not waste anyone’s time. But when I arrived at this piece of land with its rolling hills which would build strong bone in the horses, and with its magnificent trees, I knew this was what I was looking for. In earlier days when visiting Coolmore in Ireland I noticed cattle in with the horses, not after but with, and was told that due to the high rainfall cattle were needed to keep the grass down. It’s the same here, an old farmer explained that not only were we in a high rainfall belt, but that Avoca was named after a valley in Wicklow, Ireland. Very appropriate.

The farm has fresh spring water for the horses to drink, dams are only for irrigation.

But above all it’s the huge trees, the key indicators of fertile soil and the ideal topography, undulating paddocks to build bone, which I feel is reflected in the way our horses sell and race.

I should mention that having visited John Muir’s Milburn Creek much earlier it was obvious what an ideal location the Southern Highlands was to breed thoroughbreds.”

John Muir’s answer was “I was lucky to find this beautiful property with its magnificent trees, great pasture, well drained soil and high rainfall. Having owned other properties in various parts of the state I recognized a good thing when I found it. Having ascertained that the rainfall was about 60 inches per year I rang the late Patrick Hogan who said it was similar in Cambridge, but importantly the soil drained extremely well and it’s exactly the same here. Most important though the quality of the trees is a big indicator of how good the country is and that was a big factor in my decision. We have some magnificent large girthed trees here, lots of them. I recall talking to one of the neighbours on first arrival here and he said that 20 years ago he dropped a nail on the ground and last week he picked up a crowbar.”

There is no more picturesque scene than the afternoon glow on the Southern Highlands, more thoroughbred highlights are set to emerge from that beautiful part of the world.

Group One quality at Inglis Easter 2025

Abreed shaping sale, the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale has evolved over history from the first major yearling sale in Australia into the highlight of the sales calendar with a collection of the best pedigreed yearlings in Australia.

The 2025 sale is a smaller catalogue than in past years with 421 lots, down from between 450 and 600 in the past few years, but that contraction has resulted in more depth on each page as the concentration on quality over quantity is apparent.

The 2024 sale’s current two year-old graduates already include two stakes winners being My Gladiola (I Am Invincible) and To Cap It All (Capitalist), while this season’s three year-old graduates are led by Gr1 winner Switzerland (Snitzel) and Lady Shenandoah (Snitzel) and group winners Autumn Glow (The Autumn Sun) and Growing Empire (Zoustar) and seven other Listed winners.

Inglis CEO Sebastian Hutch is justifiably proud of the record, “Year after year, it is the ‘Best of the Best’ – best breeders showcasing their best yearlings at the best venue in the world to offer horses. As always it’s just such a fabulous time to be in Sydney, there’s Days 1 and 2 of The

Championships, the Inglis Easter Sale, as well as everything that the Harbour City has to offer, we can’t wait!”

With young stallions such as Home Affairs, The Autumn Sun, Exceedance, Super Seth, In The Congo, and Wild Ruler all being Easter graduates, they hope to join the likes of Fastnet Rock, Exceed And Excel and Flying Spur as highly successful stallions.

There is an incredibly diverse range of leading sires represented in the 2025 catalogue such as I Am Invincible, Snitzel, Extreme Choice, Zoustar, Wootton Bassett, Written Tycoon, Too Darn Hot, Deep Field, Dundeel, Exceed and Excel, So You Think, Proisir, Street Boss, Toronado, and The Autumn Sun.

Of particular interest to breeders looking to refresh and expand the bloodlines in their breeding portfolios are the yearlings by international quality stallions Camelot, Frankel (who has 12 representatives in the catalogue), Gun Runner, Justify, Kitasan Black and Siyouni.

First season sires such as Home Affairs, Stay Inside, St Mark’s Basilica, Palace Pier, Pinatubo, Acrobat, Captivant, Noverre, and Wild Ruler all

have representatives from their first crops in the sale.

The quality of pedigrees in the 2025 sale are highlighted by 39 yearlings out of Gr1 winning mares such as Arcadia Queen, Aristia, Bonneval, English, Go Indy Go, Gust Of Wind, Hungry Heart, Invincibella, Lucia Valentina, Media Sensation, Mossfun, Personal, Pippie, Princess Coup, Red Tracer, Shoals, Shout the Bar, Snitzerland, Spright, Stay With Me, and Unforgotten.

Another 35 yearlings are siblings or half siblings to Gr1 winners including Switzerland, Militarize, Shooting To Win, She’s Extreme, Ozzmosis, Lady Shenadoah, Stronger, Sunshine In Paris, Wild Ruler, Forbidden Love, El Castello, Artorius, Autumn Angel, Jameka, I Am Me, Tofane, Super Seth, Climbing Star, Converge, and Profondo.

Of the catalogue, 338 are BOBS Eligible (80%) while there also VOBIS Silver, Westspeed and QTIS yearlings available.

SWITZERLAND was a $1.5 million Inglis Easter yearling, who has become a Gr1 winner and exciting stallion prospect. There are 45 lots by his quadruple champion sire Snitzerland catalogued for the 2025 Easter Sale on the 6th and 7th of April at Riverside Stables, Sydney.

Inglis Easter 2025 First Season Sires

Acrobat

(Fastnet Rock-Hips Don’t Lie, by Stravinsky) Stands at Coolmore, NSW

Winner of his only start, the Listed Inglis Nursery Stakes, Acrobat was retired after an injury. Coolmore Stud don’t often stand a non-Gr1 winner but are making an exception for Acrobat because of the time he ran at his only start. He covered the 1,000m in a track record time of 56.02.

Acrobat has the pedigree to back up his claims, being by Champion Sire Fastnet Rock, whose 185 stakes winners include Gr1 winners Merchant Navy, Atlantic Jewel, Gr1 Blue Diamond winner Catchy, Gr1 ARC Diamond Stakes winner Heroic Valour, as well as sire sons Foxwedge, Hinchinbrook, and Smart Missile.

A son of Gr2 winner Hips Don’t Lie, who won four races as a two year-old, Acrobat is a full brother to two other stakes winners, being group winner Ennis Hill, and Listed winner Lake Geneva (who was placed in both the Gr1 Golden Slipper and Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes), as well as group placed winner Memphis Rock.

Acrobat is represented by two yearlings at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale; Lot 182 a filly from Sledmere Stud from winning mare Spiced who is a half-sister to Gr3 winner Brave Mead and Listed winner Solemn. Coolmore Stud’s Lot 302 is a three-quartersister to Listed winner Bright Blue Sky (Fastnet Rock) and this season’s juvenile winner and Gr2 placed Landlock from the family of Lankan Rupee.

Captivant

(Capitalist-Speedboat, by Commands) Stands at Kia Ora Stud, NSW

When a horse bumps into Anamoe throughout his career, he’s going to need a lot of class, and Captivant demonstrated this when winning the Gr1 Champagne Stakes at two before just going down in the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas to the Champion racehorse Anamoe who won nine Gr1 races across three seasons of racing.

A $550,000 yearling, Captivant earned over $1.1 million in his 15 starts with trainers Peter and Paul Snowden unafraid to push him into the strongest company. A winner on debut at two, he came back in the autumn to place behind Anamoe in the Gr1 Sires’ Produce Stakes before winning the Champagne. At three he ran in all the best races, including the Gr1 WS Cox Plate.

From the family of Headwater, Captivant’s dam is a three-quarter-sister to Gr2 Caulfield Sprint winner First Command, who won 12 races and over $1 million. His dam, Speedboat, has also produced Gr3 Black Opal Stakes-placed winner Warby (Hellbent), and Speedboat is a half-sister to dual Listed winner Cross Current and to the dams of Gr1 New Zealand Derby winner Crown Prosecutor and Gr2 Magic Night Stakes winner Willow Creek. This is a solid colonial family with plenty of early maturing speed that produces horses who train on.

Captivant has two yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale; Silverdale Farm’s colt Lot 29 out of stakes placed Lipizzan and Emirates Park’s colt Lot 175 out of a young winning So You Think mare.

Home Affairs

(I Am Invincible-Miss Interiors, by Flying Spur) Stands at Coolmore, NSW

An $875,000 yearling, Home Affairs already had pedigree and athletic looks before he reached the racetrack, and he quickly proved he had plenty of speed and ability too. First sighted as a January two year-old in the Gr3 Canonbury Stakes when he ran second, he quickly broke his maiden tag when winning the Gr2 Silver Slipper Stakes at only his second start. Third in the Gr2 Todman Stakes behind Anamoe, Home Affairs ran in the Slipper to end his two year-old season with a win and two placings from four starts – all in group company.

As a three year-old, Home Affairs carried on the same way, winning the Listed Heritage Stakes first up, then being asked to run against the older sprinters in The Everest. He bounced back from The Everest effort to win the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes, before showing it was no fluke by winning the Gr1 Lightning Stakes against the older horses in his first run as an autumn three year-old. He retired with two Gr1 sprint wins, a group win as a two year-old, and a total of four wins and two placings from nine starts with earnings over $2.2million.

I Am Invincible is one of the hottest stallions in Australia with 75 stakes winners and multiple Gr1 winners. Home Affairs will join the likes of Brazen Beau, Hellbent, I Am Immortal, Overshare, Strasbourg, and Super One as young sons of I Am Invincible.

Noverre

(Savabeel-Magic Dancer, by Rip Van Winkle) Stands at Waikato Stud, NZ

A Classic winning son of a Champion Sire, Noverre meets all the criteria expected from a Waikato Stud stallion. Noverre showed promise early, winning a trial as a November two year-old, before making his debut in January with a strong second to Bonny Lass, who won the Gr2 Matamata Breeders Stakes at her next start, and placing in both juvenile Gr1 races in New Zealand. Noverre promptly went one better, winning his maiden at his second start, and finished his two year-old season with a win and a placing from three starts.

Back at three, Noverre placed in his first two starts, then won the Gr3 War Decree Stakes over a mile. Sent directly to the Gr1 New Zealand Two Thousand Guineas, Noverre proved his worth by winning that in fine fashion. Noverre retired with a career record of three wins from seven starts.

Noverre is by seven-time New Zealand Champion Sire Savabeel, who has a swathe of international titles including Champion Sire in Hong Kong, and who has left 150 stakes winners including 35 Gr1 winners led by Probabeel, Mo’Unga, Lucia Valentina, Pasadena Girl, VRC Derby winner Sangster, and Queensland Derby winner Brambles.

Noverre is the first foal of Gr3 Taranaki 2YO Classic winner Magic Dancer, who is a daughter of dual Listed winning two year-old Dazzling Belle, a quality race filly who ran fourth in the Gr1 Two Thousand Guineas against the colts.

Noverre has one colt in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, presented by Sledmere Stud, Lot 305 is the fourth foal of dual NZ Horse Of The Year winner Bonneval.

Palace Pier

(Kingman-Beach Frolic, by Nayef) Stood at Darley, NSW

Champion 3YO Colt in Europe, Palace Pier is a multiple Gr1 winner at both three and four. Unbeaten in two starts over 1400m as a two year-old, Palace Pier came into his own at three, winning three of his four starts including the Gr1 Deauville Prix Jacques Le Marois and the Gr1 Royal Ascot St James’s Palace Stakes, both over a mile. Back at four, Palace Pier again dominated winning four of his five starts, including wins in the Gr1 Deauville Prix Jacques Le Marois becoming the first horse in

25 years to win this race back-to-back, Gr1 Newbury Lockinge Stakes and the Gr1 Royal Ascot Queen Anne Stakes, all at a mile. All up, he won nine of his eleven starts, five at Gr1 level, and was ranked Champion 3YO Colt in Europe and Champion Older Miler in Europe as a four year-old.

Palace Pier is from a strong European family, with his unraced dam being a half-sister to Gr2 winner and Gr1 placed Joviality (Cape Cross) and to a horse that Australians will be familiar with in Bonfire (Manduro) who won the Gr2 York Stakes and was Gr1 placed in France before arriving in Australia where he won a Listed race.

Palace Pier has two yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale; Arrowfield Stud’s filly Lot 62 is the second foal of Gr3 winner Miravalle, and Glenbeigh Farm’s colt Lot 153 who is a half-brother to Gr1 winner Royal Merchant.

Pinatubo

(Shamardal-Lava Flow, by Dalakhani) Stands at Darley, NSW

Europe’s Champion 2YO Colt in 2019, Pinatubo won all his six starts as a juvenile, including both the Gr1 National Stakes and the Gr1 Dewhurst Stakes. Back at three, he won the Gr1 Prix Jean Prat, as well as running into Champion 3YO Palace Pier in the Gr1 Royal Ascot St James’s Palace Stakes over a mile. Pinatubo’s four starts at three were all in Gr1 company and he won or placed in all of them. His efforts at three were rewarded with the Champion 3YO Sprinter in France title to add to his impressive 2YO collection.

Pinatubo’s three Gr1 wins put him among the best of Shamardal’s progeny, which takes some doing when Shamardal has sired 173 stakes winners including Gr1 winners like Hong Kong Horse of the Year Able Friend, Champion Sprinter Blue Point, Champion 2YO Colt Earthlight, Champion 3YO Filly Faint Perfume, Champion Hong Kong Stayer Pakistan Star, and Champion 3YO Lope de Vega. Lope de Vega leads Shamardal’s sire sons with 142 stakes winners of his own, while several emerging sires look promising too.

Pinatubo has eight yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale including Lot 37 Segenhoe Stud’s half-brother to Gr2 winner Lumosty, Lot 303 Coolmore Stud’s half-brother to Gr2 winner Need I Say More, Kia Ora Stud’s filly Lot 331 out of Gr1 winner Cosmic Endeavour, and Supreme Thoroughbreds’ Lot 344 a half-brother to stakes winners De Sonic Boom and Laverrod.

St Mark’s Basilica (Siyouni-Cabaret, by Galileo) Stands at Coolmore, NSW Horse of the Year in Europe, Champion 2YO and Champion 3YO. There aren’t many superlatives that can describe the race record of St Mark’s Basilica that his collection of championship titles don’t already say. Winner of two of his five starts at two, including the Gr1 Newmarket Dewhurst Stakes, St Mark’s Basilica improved at three to win all of his four starts and all at Gr1 level.

Those wins were in the Gr1 Chantilly Prix du Jockey Club, Gr1 Leopardstown Irish Champion Stakes, Gr1 Sandown Eclipse Stakes and the Gr1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains. As a yearling, St Mark’s Basilica cost 1.3 million Guineas and he certainly lived up to the expectations set by his price with five Gr1 wins.

Siyouni (Pivotal-Sichilla, by Danehill) is a French two year-old Gr1 winner who was crowned Champion Sire in France in both 2020 and 2021 and has been the Champion Sire of 2YOs in France three times. He has 84 stakes winners, led by St Mark’s Basilica, as well as triple Gr1 winner Sottsass, and Australia’s Amelia’s Jewel.

With eight yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale catalogue, St Mark’s Basilica is represented by the likes of Torryburn Stud’s colt Lot 369 out of tough WA Gr3 winner Fabergino.

Stay Inside

(Extreme Choice-Nothin

There’s a reason that Golden Slipper winning colts are highly sought after as stallions. There aren’t many of them, and those that do retire to stud include the like of Pierro, Sebring, Catbird, Flying Spur, Danzero, Canny Lad, and Rory’s Jester. Stay Inside burst onto the Australian two year-old scene in January with two wins from as many starts. Next up, he ran fourth behind Anamoe in the Gr2 Todman Stakes, before heading to the Golden Slipper. Stay Inside shot clear with 100m to go and strode home for a dominant win in the Gr1 event with Anamoe running on for second. The form around Anamoe, who won the Gr1 Sires’ Produce at his next start, then won two Guineas and placed in the Cox Plate as a three year-old, franks the class of Stay Inside’s Golden Slipper.

Stay Inside is from the first small crop of Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner Extreme Choice who is now one of Australia’s most exciting stallions.

Stay Inside has 12 yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, including Sledmere Stud’s Lot 165 a half-brother to Gr2 winner Silent Sovereign and Listed winner Silent Command, Lot 268 a halfbrother to Gr1 winner Invincibella and two other stakes winners presented by Sledmere Stud, and Segenhoe Stud’s colt Lot 395 out of Gr1 winner Gust Of Wind.

Wild Ruler

(Snitzel-Gypsy Robin, by Daaher) Stands at Newgate Farm, NSW

Wild Ruler is the archetypal Australian racehorse; early maturing, fast, tough, a winner in multiple seasons, and of course, a Gr1 winning sprinter. Winner on debut as a December two year-old in the Listed Inglis Nursery, Wild Ruler was a real speed horse. Back at three, he won his first two runs in the spring, the Listed Heritage Stakes, and the Gr2 Roman Consul Stakes, before running third in the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. With stallions such as Fastnet Rock, Exceed and Excel, Zoustar, and Russian Revolution as previous winners of the Roman Consul Stakes, Wild Ruler marked himself as one to watch. As an autumn three year-old, he won two of his four starts, the Listed Fireball Stakes and the Gr2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint. His Gr1 win came as a spring four year-old, in the Gr1 AJ Moir Stakes against a quality sprinting field that included Gr1 winners Trekking, September Run, and Portland Sky.

Wild Ruler is out of USA Gr2 winner Gypsy Robin, who is a half-sister to Listed winner Tiger Cat Lilly, and is out of Feisty Princess. This American family throws up a good horse every generation and includes Gr1 winner Influent and Bodexpress.

Wild Ruler has two yearlings in the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale; Lot 185 Willow Park Stud’s halfbrother to Gr2 winner Stretan Angel and Coolmore Stud’s filly, Lot 335 a half-sister to Listed placed Clear Proof. BB

ARROWFIELD

Where diamonds are discovered

Forty years of exceptional history, and a Group 1-packed last 12 months. That’s what Arrowfield, and many, many buyers, owners and trainers are celebrating in 2025.

Eight Group 1 victories in Sydney and Melbourne since March 2024 by Inglis Easter graduates Lady Shenandoah, Autumn Angel and Switzerland, plus Celestial Legend and Private Life, take Arrowfield’s four-decade tally of Group 1 wins to 157. They’ve been compiled by 86 graduates, among them 29 Champions.

They include 7 winners of the Golden Slipper: Inglis Easter purchases Catbird, Estijaab, Forensics, Flying Spur and Miss Finland, plus Belle Du Jour and Danzero.

Ten Arrowfield-bred-and-sold winners appear on the honour rolls of the other 4 Australian Group 1 2YO races, among them Tagaloa (Blue Diamond), Invader (Sires’ Produce), Castelvecchio (Champagne Stakes) and The Autumn Sun (JJ Atkins).

The Stud has a similar record of success in Australia’s Group 1 3YO contests, with 18 of 19 ticked off, and several won more than once, including the Caulfield, Randwick and Thousand Guineas, Victoria and Australian Derbys, Australian Oaks, Spring Champion, Flight and Surround Stakes.

Among them are all 5 of Arrowfield’s latest Group 1-winning graduates, headed by Coolmore Classic, Surround and Flight Stakes winner Lady Shenandoah, Australian Oaks winner Autumn Angel and

Switzerland, dominant winner of the world’s top-rated 3YO sprint race of 2024, the Coolmore Stud Stakes.

19 of Australia’s major sprints also feature on Arrowfield’s four-decade alumni record, thanks to the likes of World Champion Sprinter and Horse of the Year Lankan Rupee (T.J. Smith, Newmarket, Oakleigh, Lightning and Manikato), Alverta (Coolmore Classic), Sweet Idea (Galaxy), Snitzerland (Lightning), Alabama Express (C.F. Orr) and Champion Sprinters Giga Kick, Hareeba and Primacy.

There are 24 offshore victories on Arrowfield’s Group 1 graduate record too, featuring horses such as Charming City (Hong Kong Champion Sprinter), Stepitup (Singapore Horse of the Year), Majmu and Mustaaqeem

Arrowfield Easter graduate and 3-time Group 1 winner Lady Shenandoah (dark green and red silks) wins the 2025 Surround S. G1.

(South African Champion 2YOs) and San Luis (New Zealand Champion 2YO Colt).

And then there is Weekend Hussler, the winner of 6 Group 1 races in a single season: the Oakleigh and Newmarket, the Coolmore Stud Stakes, the Caulfield and Randwick Guineas and the George Ryder.

Weekend Hussler remains Australia’s only 3YO Horse of the Year since Octagonal in 1996.

This glittering history and Arrowfield’s spectacular current season point firmly at a future full of diamonds – for those Inglis Easter buyers who come to the diamond mine at the Big Barn and Barn B!

Unrivalled brilliance

If there’s a holy grail in racing, it is surely the elite colt.

Stunning physique, superb pedigree and, most importantly, Group 1 success - these are the ingredients of what can be an outstanding investment and a life-changing experience.

And Arrowfield delivers it more often than most.

In the past decade, 15 colts purchased from Arrowfield yearling drafts have won Group 1 races. A single buyer would have spent just over $10.3 million to own them all, and so far would have earned more than $18 million in prizemoney, before any stud deals. Those colts now at stud are making quite an impact on racing and breeding. Six have already sired Group 1 winners: Easter purchases Alabama Express, Rafeef (in South Africa), Super Seth and The Autumn Sun, plus Castelvecchio and Invader.

And one, The Autumn Sun, has already left an Easter sale-topper, Silverdale Farm’s $1.8 million filly out of Via Africa - now better known as the sensational dual Group winner Autumn Glow.

The first yearlings by triple Classic-winning hero Hitotsu, Spring Champion winner Profondo and Hong Kong sprinter Stronger will be offered in 2026.

Legend Racing’s brilliant Randwick Guineas and Doncaster Mile winner Celestial Legend has several Group 1 targets on his Autumn agenda.

Australia’s current top-rated 3YO Switzerland and Caulfield Guineas winner Private Life remain in training for Coolmore and partners with their stud careers already assured.

No other Easter vendor since 2014 can match Arrowfield’s record of selling 8 Group 1-winning colts that have become stallions or stallion prospects. The Arrowfield consignment at Inglis Easter 2025 includes 28 colts by Dundeel, Frankel, I Am Invincible, Maurice, Snitzel, St Mark’s Basilica, The Autumn Sun and Too Darn Hot.

Timeless treasures

There’s no better example of the impact a great broodmare can have upon an entire industry than ‘blue hen’ Denise’s Joy, based for much of her breeding life at Arrowfield. Herself a multiple Group 1 winner, she anchors the female line of 88 stakeswinners, 14 of them at the elite level including Arrowfield graduates Joie Denise, Secret Agenda and Sunday Joy.

A quarter-century after her death, Denise’s Joy remains a significant influence, and she appears in the pedigrees of Arrowfield’s 2025 Easter yearlings Lot 24, the Snitzel-Later Gator colt and Lot 81, the Too Darn HotNegotiate colt.

A further 10 yearlings in the draft are out of Arrowfield-bred mares, including Champion 3YO Filly Shoals and her sister Tides, Group 1 winner and stakes producer Stay With Me, and Group 1 producers Honesty Prevails, Salutations and Star Pupil.

Look beyond Arrowfield’s consignment, and the progeny of mares carrying the Stud’s brand are dotted throughout the Easter catalogue: Group 1 winners Kenedna, Secret Agenda and Snitzerland, Listed winner and Group producer Members Joy whose yearlings have returned almost $2.5 million, Listed winners Akari, Hijack Hussy and Wayupinthesky, Group producers Stormy Choice and Tigress Lily, Group winner Missile Mantra and Enood, Extra Olives, Queen Himiko, Secret Doubt, Shosha and Visenya.

In all, 26 yearlings offered at Australasia’s most select sale are out of Arrowfield graduate mares.

Then there’s the list of recent 7-figure race fillies and broodmares, featuring multiple Group 1 placegetter Tutta La Vita (sold for $3.2 million), dual Group 1 winner Coolangatta’s dam Piping Hot ($3 million), two-time Group winner Autumn Ballet ($1.6 million) and Australian Oaks G1 winner Autumn Angel ($1.225 million) –all originally purchased from Arrowfield as

CRESSFIELD

by Renée Geelen

The pastures at Cressfield continue to produce quality racehorses with Gr1 Stradbroke Handicap winner Stefi Magnetica the latest from the farm, and she joins the likes of Gr1 Victoria Oaks winner Personal, Gr1 Queen Of The Turf winner Nimalee, and Gr1 Kingsford-Smith Cup winner Clearly Innocent. Thrilling sprinter Passive Aggressive is also a Cressfield graduate as are group winners Jamea and Hellfest, as well as up and coming mare Spring Lee.

Their 2023 Easter Yearling Sale draft already has four winners from six horses sold, with both I Found You (I Am Invincible) and Overtook (Deep Field) winning on debut.

A select draft of nine highly credential yearlings make up Cressfield’s 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling

Sale draft, and it’s their biggest Easter draft in several years.

All eyes will be on the Zoustar colt, Lot 30 who screams stallion potential, being a half-brother to successful sires Deep Field and Shooting To Win, as well as being a full brother to Listed winner Zaniah. Their dam, Listen Here, is a Listed winner and all eight of her foals to race are winners. This is also the family of Gr1 winning juvenile La Luna Rossa. Listen Here’s current three year-old is the $1.3 million yearling I Found You (I Am Invincible) who was a winner on debut at two last season.

“He is an athlete. The whole package. My money has been on him since very early on.” said,” said Cressfield’s Liesl Wickson. His full sister Zaniah was a $1 million yearling in 2017

and she won four races including the Listed Ascot Handicap and was placed in the Gr2 Moreton Cup. Her first foal is an unnamed I Am Invincible two year-old colt, while she has missed the next two seasons.

Cressfield’s two I Am Invincible yearlings are both out of Gr1 winning mares. The colt, Lot 184 is out of Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes winner Spright. Winner of six races, four at black type level, Spright earned over $1.3 million in her brilliant career. This is one of Australia’s hottest Gr1 producing families descending from the imported Mossborough mare Gypsy Moss. Recent Gr1 stars from the family include Joliestar, Bonaria, Merchant Navy and Paulele.

DEEP FIELD

Her two year-old filly is a full sister to this colt. “A later foal that is still developing beautifully into his large frame.”

The I Am Invincible filly, Lot 108 is the second foal of dual Gr1 winning sprinter Pippie (Written Tycoon) who won the Gr1 Oakleigh Plate and Gr1 AJ Moir Stakes and earned over $1.2 million in his six wins. Her first foal is a Snitzel two year-old filly who sold for $775,000 to David Ellis at this sale last year. “A beautiful balanced frame, with excellent shoulder and hip length, she is a sensible filly showing good scope and athleticism.”

A pair of Snitzel fillies, both of whom go through early on the first day, are both out of stakes winning I Am Invincible mares. It’s early days for Vinnie as a damsire, with eight stakes winners led by two Gr1 winners, but already Listed winner Hip Hip Hurrah (Snitzel) is bred on this cross.

The first foal of Gr3 Tibbie Stakes winner Madam Legend (I Am Invincible) is Lot 39, a Snitzel filly, whose dam won seven races in a solid career that included earnings over $440,000. This is the family of Redoute’s Choice, via his three quarter-sister Twyla who is the dam of Gr3 winner Murjana, dam of Gr1 winner and $1.2 million earner Desert Lightning. Gr1 winners Gathering, Tom Kitten and In Italian all feature in this branch, as well as group winner and NZ based successful sire Niagara. “An excellent maiden foal, correct

and uncomplicated.”

I Am Invincible mare Miss Leonidas won the Gr2 Caulfield Sprint and her Snitzel filly, Lot 67 is her third foal. Winner of five races, two at black type, and twice Gr1 placed in the Gr1 Galaxy Handicap and Gr1 AJ Moir Stakes, Miss Leonidas is out of a winning half-sister to Gr1 winner Newport who earned $1.2 million. Miss Leonidas has an unraced two year-old filly Spartan Lass (Exceed And Excel) with Danny O’Brien. “An attractive filly with a good shoulder and girth.”

Home Affairs colt, Lot 146, is out of Gr1 Robert Sangster Stakes winner Secret Agenda who has done a solid job at stud so far producing two winners with all four of her foals to race currently in work. Her two year-old colt Hidden Motive (Capitalist) ran fourth on debut in the Gr3 Breeders’ Plate behind ill-fated King Kirk. Secret Agenda is a half-sister to Gr1 placed Tutta La Vita (The Autumn Sun) who is now racing in America, and to three other stakes placed winners. “A speedy compact type of colt so typical of what the mare has produced.”

Listed winner Frankely Awesome was also Gr1 placed in the Gr1 Vinery Stud Stakes and Gr1 Australian Oaks, and her second foal, a So You Think colt Lot 382 has a strong pedigree to go with his dam’s race record and should be one of the stars of the sale. Frankely Awesome is a daughter of American Listed winner Street Secret who in turn is a half-sister

www.cressfield.com.au

Parkville, NSW

to the dams of Talk To Ya Later and Spirit Gal. This is the family of Galileo, Sea The Stars and of course blue hen mare and Gr1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Urban Sea. Frankely Awesome’s first foal is an unraced three year-old filly with Chris Waller. “A big scopey classic style of colt with good sound bone and feet.”

The Autumn Sun fillies are flying with Gr1 winners Autumn Angel, Coco Sun, and Vibrant Sun. Cressfield’s filly Lot 130 is out of French Listed winner Rosental (Pivotal) who is a full sister to Gr3 winner and Gr1 Prix Rothschild placed Rosa Imperial and a half-sister to Japanese Gr3 winner Off Trail. Her third dam is the brilliant Australian filly Mannington, dam of Gr1 winner Benicio. This is one of the world’s finest families, renowned for its fillies. Starting with Eau d’Etoile, her Golden Slipper winning daughter Bint Marscay and other stars such as Coolmore Classic winner Bollinger. Foundation material for any of the world’s leading breeders. ““A classic style of filly with that big loose walk, the kind that you can hear the rhythm and overstep when she’s walking through the barn before you actually see it.”

Rounding out the draft is a Zousain colt, Lot 45, out of a young Not A Single Doubt mare, Magic Amelia, who is from a strong French family which includes Gr1 BMW Stakes winner Manighar, winner of over $3 million. Her first foal is an unraced two year-old full brother to this colt, who is described as a “well developed, strong, forward type of colt.” Zousain is flying with his first crop of three year-olds led by Gr3 winners Amelita and Drifting, while his current crop of two year-olds already includes Listed winner Bellazaine (Zousain-Benella, by Not A Single Doubt) who is bred on the same cross as this colt.

Cressfield’s annual boutique offerings are always among the highlights of the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale with strong pedigrees, and good physicals that translate into racetrack results with plenty of residual value for the long term picture. s

Aaron Bott: 0409 550 112

2163 Pacific HWY, Heatherbrae NSW 2324.

Evergreen Stud’s 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale draft is an opportunity for breeders to buy into one of their best families with four fillies descended from Champion 3YO Filly In New Zealand and four-time Gr1 winner Princess Coup.

“It’s a quality draft, with more than half coming from a family we’ve had a lot of success with off our farm. We pride ourselves on producing top class horses and our statistics show that we are doing that,” said Aaron Bott.

From select Easter drafts, Evergreen Stud have produced the likes of the Gr3 winner Argentia, Gr2 placed winner Moesha and Gr3 placed city winner Don’t Hope Do, while Gr2 winner Democracy Manifest went through an Inglis sale is another top horse bred and raised on the farm.

Over half of the draft come from the same family and it’s a great one, led by a rare chance to buy an Exceed And Excel filly out of Evergreen Stud’s brilliant mare Princess Coup is Lot 112. Princess Coup was Champion 3YO Filly in New Zealand and her 12 wins included four Gr1 wins, and she’s gone on to be a fantastic broodmare, producing Gr3 winner Argentia, Gr3 winner Thewizardofoz, Gr2 placed Moesha, and is the ancestress of Listed winners Oz Empress, Epimeles, and Stonecoat.

“She’s from the last crop of Exceed And Excel and is a real quality filly who lacks nothing. She’s just got massive presence, and has the potential to be an early horse who will train on. Exceed And Excel has worked well with the family with Oz Empress and Key.”

From the same family is Snitzel filly Lot 245, out of Princess Coup’s winning daughter Vanilla Princess, making this filly a half-sister to Listed Jim Moloney Stakes winner Oz Empress, Gr3 placed winner Key, and the dam of Listed winner Epimeles. “A really sharp, strong two year-old type who is definitely an early horse.”

Lot 280 represents the same family and the Ole Kirk filly is a half-sister to Listed Anzac Day Stakes winning three year-old colt Epimeles (Dundeel) who has won two of his four starts in tremendous style. This yearling filly is only the third foal of winning mare Apicius (Redoute’s Choice) with Epimeles being her first foal.

“A quality filly and an exciting one when you look at what Ole Kirk is doing and what the mare has produced with her first foal Epimeles. This filly could be anything.”

The other yearling from this family is Lot 348, a Frankel filly from Redoute’s Choice mare

Dorothy Of Oz who won in Sydney and is a full sister to Thewizardofoz and a three-quartersister to the dam of Epimeles. Her first foal is three year-old filly Rich Dottie who has won two of her five starts and was last seen in the Gr3 Peter Le Grand Stakes.

“When this filly was first born, she reminded me of Argentia who is in the family and by Frankel too. She’s grown into a quality filly who oozes class, and carries herself well.”

Of Evergreen Stud’s colts, opening proceedings is Lot 79, a colt by Zoustar – sire of nine Gr1 winners and counting – who is a half-brother to Listed Singapore Derby winner Han Xin (Sepoy) who won over A$1 million as well as to exciting three year-old colt Anode (I Am Invincible) who was Gr2 placed during the spring and has earnings over $600,000. This colt is closely related to Gr2 VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes winner Lightsaber (Zoustar) who now stands at Darling View Thoroughbreds in WA.

“Anode won that controversial Listed race that wasn’t officially recognised as a Listed race,” said Bott, referring to the Tapp-Craig Plate which was submitted by Racing Australia for an upgrade to Listed status but rejected by the Asian Racing Federation. “The colt is a lovely horse. He’s a nice strong Zoustar colt, well balanced and is a half-brother to Anode who looks a promising horse, and his form was franked with Linebacker recently. Zoustar works with the family and is on fire, so he should be a highly appealing horse.” Anode ran second to Linebacker in the Gr3 TL Baillieu Stakes at two, and Linebacker won the Gr1 Randwick Guineas at three recently.

Dual Gr1 winner Converge was raced by Evergreen Stud and he won over $2.2 million for the farm, who will offer his half-brother

by Toronado in 2025. Their dam, Conversely (Shamardal) has produced two winners from as many to race with the other being Coincide who won twice in Sydney and Melbourne as a three year-old. Conversely is well related being a daughter of Gr3 winner and Gr1 American Oaks placed Melhor Ainda (Pulpit).

“He’s a nice neat horse, and a later foal so he isn’t huge, but it’s also not a huge family and Converge was also smaller. He’s definitely a runner but isn’t the typical big Toronado type.” Rounding out a draft with no weaknesses is Lot 308, a Farnan half-brother to Listed Canberra Guineas winner Final Award (Smart Missile). This colt’s dam is Gr3 placed winner of four races Bound To Blush, a half-sister to Singapore’s Listed El Dorado Classic winner King Louis, from the family of Gr1 winners Keeper, Metal Bender and Amarelinha, as well as exciting up and coming sire North Pacific.

“He’s a very strong quality individual, well balanced, and an athletic type, and is quite exciting on the back of how Farnan is going. He’s an exciting sire, and this horse is up there with them.”

RIDGMONT

by Renée Geelen

This season’s Listed winner and Gr1 Sistema Stakes placed two year-old filly To Cap It All (Capitalist) is the headline graduate from only seven yearlings Ridgmont’s 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale draft. Gr3 placed city winner Merchant Queen is another recent Easter graduate for the Cunningham family’s Hunter Valley property.

In 2025, Ridgmont will offer a boutique draft of seven yearlings with six of them by proven sires. Mitch Cunningham offered his comments on the draft to Bluebloods.

The sole yearling by a first season sire is a beauty, a son of Gr1 Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside. Lot 319 is out of juvenile winner Chachapoyas, who placed in the Listed Fernhill Handicap, and is the dam of three winners. This is a deep pedigree with Chachapoyas being a half-sister to Champion Miler in Singapore Aramayo, and this is the family of sire and Gr1 winner In The Wings whose dam is Gr1 winner High Hawk. “Stay Inside has found plenty of favour in the yearling market already. He’s a beautifully balanced mature looking colt from a mare who’s produced three winners including multiple city winner La Casona, and stakes performed Centro Storico.”

All eyes will be on the Extreme Choice colts this Easter after the win of Devil Night in the Gr1 Blue Diamond, and Ridgmont’s colt, Lot 325 is a three-quarter brother to Gr2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes winner Not An Option (Not A Single Doubt). His dam is Gr1 placed Gr3 winner Chintz, a Savabeel half-sister to Gr1 Auckland Cup winner Chenille. This is the family of dual Gr1 winner Mo’Unga. “By the hottest sire in the country, Extreme Choice, who has had a Golden Slipper winner, a Blue Diamond winner, and a Melbourne Cup winner. Very well bred.”

Their Zoustar filly is Lot 228, the second foal of Gr3 placed winner of six races Too Good Too Hard (All Too Hard) from the family of Gr1 winner Divine Madonna (granddam of Tentyris) and Autumn Angel. “She’s a very strong filly with a lot of presence and she’s out of an All Too Hard mare from the family. We couldn’t have a better advertisement for Zoustar fillies than sensational Newmarket H winner Joliestar.” Three of Zoustar’s nine Gr1 winners are out of Fastnet Rock mares, and Gr2 winner North Star Lass is out of a Snitzel mare, so the cross with Danehill line mares is obviously working well for Zoustar.

Mitch@ridgmontfarm.com

Another filly that will tempt many buyers is the Too Darn Hot filly, Lot 178 out of the Gr2 placed winner Sort After, who is a proven winner producer and a daughter of Gr3 winner Patronyme. Sort After was a very good mare, winning four races and over $230,000. “A medium sized, very well balanced filly with lovely scope, athleticism and quality. Her dam is multiple stakes placed and it’s a lovely black type family and by one of the hottest young sires in the world in Too Darn Hot who has a particularly good record with fillies so far.”

So You Think filly, Lot 370 is bred on the same cross as Gr1 winner Palaisipan as both are out of Fastnet Rock mares. Lot 370’s dam, Faith In Hand is a full sister to Gr1 winner Amicus, dam of two stakes winners, and this is the family of Starspangledbanner. “By the influential and proven sire So You Think who has a particularly good record with fillies, she is from a fantastic Fastnet Rock mare.”

Rounding out the draft is a colt who ticks a lot of commercial hot property boxes. Lot 350 is by Wootton Bassett, who sired four individual Gr1 winners last season in Europe and has several exciting juveniles in his first Australian crop. This colt is the first foal of

Egyptian Missile who won three races and is a daughter of Gr1 winner Our Egyptian Raine who won ten races and earned over $1.6 million and is the dam of Gr3 winner Egyptian Symbol and two other stakes placed winners. “Wootton Bassett has several live chances in the upcoming Golden Slipper. He’s had a phenomenal start here and is doing exceptionally well in Europe with a particularly good record with colts.”

With seven highly credential yearlings, and a stakes winner current juvenile graduate, there is plenty to like about Ridgmont Farm’s 2025 offerings at Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

THE CHASE

Michael Smith: 0455 405 136 michael.smith@chinahorseclub.com Alex Kingston: 0447 264 718 alex@thechasefarm.com.au

by Renée Geelen

China Horse Club’s The Chase will bring their third draft to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale in 2025 with a select group of five yearlings featuring three by Zoustar, a Snitzel filly and a So You Think filly.

“China Horse Club is a Group 1 breeder with the likes of Ozzmosis and Communist,” said Michael Smith. “We have a small boutique draft for Easter but each of them has something special about them, and we feel that the next CHC bred track star could be among them.”

Zoustar is currently second on the Australian General Sire’s List for 2024/25, with progeny earnings only $2 million behind Pride Of Dubai, who leads thanks to The Everest winner Bella Nipotina making up half his progeny earnings for the season to date. Zoustar’s highest earner so far this season is Growing Empire who has just over $2 million in earnings, a much lower proportion of Zoustar’s total progeny earnings this season.

The only colt in the draft is Lot 86, a full brother to Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner and young sire Ozzmosis (Zoustar) who earned over $1.4 million on the track. This colt is out of Gr3 winner No More Tears (Darci Brahma) from the famous Hips Don’t Lie family which includes Learning To Fly and young sires Acrobat and Splintex.

“We’re excited to offer a full brother to Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes hero Ozzmosis, who was such special talent. This colt is a November foal but he’s got great substance, strength and a lovely outlook. He’s a lot more forward at the same stage of development compared to some of the mare’s previous stock and is going to end up being that medium athletic style of Zoustar, not unlike his brother, that is so often seen saluting in high class races.”

With quality fillies in high demand this sales season, Lot 315, the Zoustar half-sister to Listed winning 2YO Depth Of Character (Deep Field) who ran fifth in the 2025 Gr1 Randwick Guineas at his most recent start. This filly’s dam, Caricature (Power) was group placed in New Zealand and ran fourth in the Gr1 NZ Oaks. Her only other foal is also a Sydney metro winner, and this Zoustar filly is her third foal. This is the family of Positivity and Zourion.

“This powerhouse Zoustar filly is an imposing individual out of a young stakes mare who is doing the job with her first foals to hit the track. It’s a wonderful fillies family and is tremendously active. She’s a long-term dualpurpose proposition.”

Zoustar filly, Lot 395 is out of winning Snitzel mare Grasslands who is a full sister to the amazing sprinter Away Game, as well as Listed winner Modern Wonder. Grasslands is a winner producer with her daughter Oakfield Wallaby (Dissident) winning five races. “A quality filly from a full sister to Away Game, she’s a racey filly with style. Zoustar over Snitzel is operating at 25% stakes winner to runners led by the likes of Gr2 winning filly North Star Lass, and it’s easy to imagine that this girl could add to that tally.”

Snitzel filly, Lot 338, is the second foal of brilliant juvenile filly Dame Giselle (I Am Invincible) who won twice at two including the Gr2 Reisling Stakes and the Golden Gift, then trained on to win three more Gr2 races and over $1.3 million. Her first foal, two yearold filly Exigent (Exceed And Excel) sold for $1 million at this sale last year. Dame Giselle is a daughter of Gr2 winner Ballet Society with Gr1 winners Ulanova and Cent Home in the family.

“This second foal out of the four-time Gr2 winner Dame Giselle is another fantastic effort from the mare. Her physical presence speaks for itself and the family will continue to grow with an Extreme Choice colt on the ground and Dame Giselle back in foal to Snitzel. A filly not to be missed.”

So You Think filly, Lot 115, is out of dual Gr2 winner Queen Of Diamonds (Savabeel) from the Eight Carat family. “A direct descendant of the immortal Eight Carat, this filly is also the first daughter of NZB Joint Filly Of The Year, Queen Of Diamonds. She looks a high class Guineas/Oaks type and is a rare genetic offering.” Queen Of Diamonds is out of juvenile winner Love Diamonds (Danehill), a daughter of Gr1 winner Tristalove (Sir Tristram) who is the dam of four stakes winners led by Gr1 winner and sire Viking Ruler.

The Chase’s draft might be small in quantity but it’s incredibly deep with quality and with four fillies on offer in a filly’s market, as well as a standout colt who is a full brother to a current stallion, this is one for the connoisseur of bloodstock. s

TYREEL STUD

With the Tyreel name synonymous with sales ring and race track success, buyers are keen to inspect their drafts and there is certainly quality in their Easter offerings.

Lot 26 bay colt by Home Affairs from Le Lude (Lope de Vega)

From the debut crop of a stallion everyone is talking about, he is the first foal for an Aspiration Quality-Gr3, 1600m winner.

Le Lude is one of the five winners for the city winner Second Draw whose Listed winning grandam Dancefloor Doll is a half-sister to the Group 1 juvenile Full And By.

Five of the first six runners bred on this I Am Invincible/Lope de Vega cross are winners including the Group 2 galloper The Ridler. And this is the I Am Invincible/Shamardal cross that produced Imperatriz and Move To Strike; noting that I Am Invincible and Shamardal hail from the same Illuminata family.

This colt also boasts duplications of Special and her dam Thong via Nureyev, Sadler’s Wells and Geiger Counter.

“A beautiful colt bred and raised by Cross Park Stud. He has a well-built masculine physique with the quality to match. He possesses a kind eye and calm nature. This mahogany bay will turn heads!” Tyreel Stud Manger Alex Barlow enthused.

Lot 216 brown/black filly by So You Think from Test The World (Testa Rossa)

Her stakes placed dam won six including four in a row; three of those in town.

A $270,000 broodmare, Test The World has enjoyed sales ring success with her first three foals fetching $425,000, $1 million and $600,000; the latest a Pierro colt at Easter 2024.

Test The World is out of a daughter of the Tea Rose Stakes-Gr2, 1500m winner Glory Girl. The Travelling Man, Unanimously and British Lion are all out of daughters of Glory Girl.

This filly is bred on the same So You Think/Testa Rossa cross as the stakes winners Dirty Words and Regardsmaree, one which provides for a 4mx4m cross of Fairy Bridge.

“The spit of her sire, this lovely filly joined us for her sale preparation. She settled in well from day dot and hasn’t put a foot wrong. She has good size, depth of girth, plenty of scope with a fluent action.”

Lot 257 grey filly by Exceed And Excel from White Thyme (Reset)

The second living foal for a two time winner (a $180,000 yearling and $230,000 broodmare) whose dam Pay My Bail was New Zealand Champion 3YO Sprinter, dam of four time Group winner White Moss and Listed winner White Sage.

White Thyme’s first foal, a $470,000 Deep Field filly, died young after sale from a paddock accident but her second, the $120,000 Bivouac colt Illustrious Warrior, has shown promise at the trials. Bred on the same Exceed And Excel/Reset cross as dual stakes winner Madeenaty, she is “a stunning filly. Naturally strong and balanced, she is correct with plenty of depth and a powerful hindquarter. She has been a pleasure to raise and she won’t be missed by buyers.”

Lot 371 bay colt by Farnan from Fashion Icon (More Than Ready)

He is the third living foal for a lightly raced mare who showed heart winning her last two starts.

A $625,000 yearling, she is one of four winners for the stakes placed Catalonia whose daughter Espaaniyah was a juvenile stakes winner.

Catalonia is a half-sister to the Group 3 winner Jorda out of the stakes placed Montmelo, halfsister to another young stakes winner in Le Mans and to the dams of stakes winners Detours, Aichi, Hioctdane and She’s Extreme.

Farnan has already sired the Black Opal StakesGr3, 1200m winner King Of Pop out of a mare with More Than Ready. This is an extension of the success story that is the Not A Single Doubt/More Than Ready combination; one which has produced Knight’s Choice and Miracles Of Life.

“An athletic colt with a nice frame and shape.

A well moving, balanced type with a kind, pleasing nature. He looks like a type who will run and we look forward to showcasing him.”

by Kristen Manning

The second foal for a stakes placed multiple city winner who was purchased by Tyreel for $310,000. Her first foal Ask Di, also by Snitzel, fetched $575,000 as a yearling.

Bred on the same Snitzel/Bernardini cross as the Pago Pago Stakes-Gr3, 1200m winner Rise Of The Masses out of a mare with similar line-breeding patterns to Stay Inside, this colt is a great grandson of Antique.

She was represented by eight winners including the stakes winner Antique Belle. And she is ancestress of another eight stakes winners including the Group 1 gallopers Regal Power and Arcadia Queen.

“A farm favourite from birth, he’s always had natural presence and quality. He is a correct, medium sized colt with good hip and hindquarter and we are proud to present him.” s

Lot 374 bay colt by Snitzel from Festival Miss (Bernardini)

SILVERDALE FARM

by Andrew Reichard

The stakes winners are flowing from Steve and Eliza Grant’s Silverdale Farm, and for good reason. Silverdale was established barely five years ago, with everything geared to create an environment to produce elite performers, well bred, well reared, well educated horses that appeal to the best judges at the leading sales before living up to their heritage by winning in stakes company on the track. With another superb draft of eight youngsters heading to Inglis Easter 2025 very shortly there could have been no better demonstration of this policy in action than the most recent Gr3 Ottawa S at Flemington on the 8th March 2025.

Silverdale had two Easter 2024 graduates engaged, Pure Passion a 950k Easter yearling having just her second start rocketed home from last to 3rd to earn a valuable black type placing. The race 1000m was run in the blistering time of 57.89 with the last 600m in 32.95 so Pure Passion must have shattered the stopwatch

with her sectional and looks a rising star as races get longer. The other Silverdale bred filly Prestige Snitzel made 370k at Easter and having her initial start finished a close 4th to the more experienced trio that filled the placings, indicating a bright future.

With this young farm already boasting Gr1 golden Slipper winner Fireburn on its CV as well as Gr2 winner Eneeza and Gr1 winnerin-waiting Autumn Glow, manager Rob Petith has every reason to look forward to Easter 2025. Rob took the time to discuss the Silverdale draft with Bluebloods.

“As a commercial broodmare and yearling operation we are judged both in the sale ring and on the racetrack. Steve has established a magnificent property on great horse country and given us all the tools to raise quality thoroughbreds. I’m lucky to have a great team here and I’m delighted with the results we’ve achieved in our early days.

We’ve achieved great sales with Eneeza being one of only two $1m plus yearlings to return their purchase price in the first full year of racing. They’ve gone to top judges and into the leading stables which gives us all encouragement that we are presenting the right types of horses to the market, great individuals who attract repeat buyers. But it is on racetrack performance that we will be judged and in this respect the recent Ottawa S result was just as important for the farm as strong sale results.

It gives Steve and myself confidence that we are on the right track and that more Autumn Glows, Eneezas and Fireburns are going to emerge from Silverdale.”

“As a matter of fact I’m particularly enthusiastic about this coming Easter Draft, it’s as good as we’ve prepared.”

Rob offered his comments on the 3 colts and 5 fillies in Silverdale’s draft.

“They are by the leading commercial sires out of young mares from fine stakes producing families. After two withdrawals, the eight babies head into the ring in the following order.

Lot 15 a bay filly by I Am Invincible out of L’Cosmo by Lonhro.

“This is the first foal of a city winning mare from a great family. She’s bred on a cross of two champion sires and is a beautiful filly. She has all the great Vinny quality that we’ve come to expect from our quadruple champion sire.”

Lot 29 a bay or brown colt by Captivant out of Lippizan by Sebring.

“This colt has done exceptionall well leading toward the sale and his young half-sister Bravissima has won twice since the catalogue was printed, now a winner of four races. He’s inbred to Commands and strongly reminds me of that wonderful horse, down to inheriting the rich coat colour of the best horses in the Eight Carat family.”

Lot 55 a bay filly by So You Think out of Merited by Fastnet Rock.

“I just love this filly , she is a real star by a sire renowned for his ability to throw top fillies as well as colts.

Is there a stallion going better than So You Think with rising stars such as Revelare winner of five successive races, Gr1 placed Doctor Of Love and a pair of unbeaten fillies, or a broodmare sire than Fastnet Rock? This filly combines the best of these two great stallions who have established a strong successful nick responsible for over 14% stakes performers to runners including Gr1 winner Palaisipan, I can’t wait to present her to prospective buyers.”

Lot 141 a chestnut colt by Stay Inside out of Schwesterherz by Areion.

“This colt is by a Golden Slipper winner and is the first foal of a stakes winning German

mare, a recipe for success if ever there was one. Brilliant Australian speed over imported mares with classic bloodlines has produced wonderful horses such as Kingston Town. This fellow has a great action, he’s a lovely mover and has thrived on the sales preparation. This colt has already done work under saddle as part of our programme to provide our clients with every opportunity to secure an early runner. He was provided this initial early education by Greg Bennett and his team at Thenford Farm. No doubt he is ready to go forward.”

Lot 222 a bay filly by Zoustar out of Threeood by Star Witness.

“This is a fantastic first foal by Zoustar whose daughter Joliestar scored such a spectacular win in the most recent Newmarket H Gr1.

She is a lovely filly with that big Zoustar action. To complete the picture her dam is Gr3 winner by Star Witness who is the sire of the dam of champion mare Bella Nipotina.Great residual too being from the Gr1 family of Elvstroem, Highland Reel, Cape Of Good Hope and Haradasun.”

Lot 251 a bay colt by Zoustar out of Vulpine by Snitzel.

“Another excellent first foal out of a Gr3 winning mare from the great Leone Chiara family.

And he’s bred on the emerging hot Zoustar/ Snitzel nick which has 25% stakes winners from its first 16 runners including Gr1 placed Growing Empire and North Star Lass.

This is a really good colt with a lovely big action.”

Lot 295 a bay filly by Maurice out of Bella Rosa by Snitzel.

“Here we have a second foal and she’s a beauty, with size, scope and strength that Maurice offers. We love Maurice and the farm has strongly supported him. This filly is out of a Gr3 Ottawa S winner by quadruple champion sire Snitzel who is now rocketing up the broodmare sire list. A real quality filly.”

Lot 355 a bay filly by Snitzel out of Endean Rose by Savabeel.

“This is a neat filly bred on a cross of two multiple champion sires and out of a Gr.1 placed mare. With Snitzel heading to the top of current and future broodmare sire lists there has never been a better time to buy a Snitzel filly.”

Steve and Eliza Grant, Rob Petith and his team look forward to presenting this quality draft in Stable E, rows 18-27 at Riverside Stables. s

NEWHAVEN PARK

by Andrew Reichard

There have been few better mares than English to race in Australia in recent years and her Snitzel filly Lot 356 is bred on a remarkable nick that has already delivered three Gr1 winning colts.

Newhaven Park has a rich history of breeding and raising good horses. Few farms anywhere in the world have such a distinguished record of sending the best horses they raise to a premium sale as Newhaven has with regard to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Newhaven is run by studmaster John Kelly, carrying on a strong family tradition going back to the days of the incomparable Wilkes. John spoke to Bluebloods about the upcoming sale and Newhaven’s draft of nine yearlings.

“Easter is always such an interesting marketplace, we have to compete with great vendors offering some beautifully bred horses. But it’s a challenge I enjoy and coming into the 2025 sale our farm has continued to enjoy strong results on the track. The Playwright has been flying the flag with a first start win, then scoring in the Gr3 Widden S before being the first filly home when 4th in the Blue Diamond Gr1.

We bred and sold Gr1 winner-in waiting Autumn Glow and while horses such as Maharba and Nadal have distinguished themselves. But rather than talk about our past champions I would just like to say that we have a lovely draft for Easter this year, highlighted by the Snitzel filly out of our champion mare English by Encosta De Lago. She’s an outstanding filly with all the attributes you want in a potential topliner. She’s correct, she’s a beautiful mover and is very intelligent having already gained a reputation for being great to handle.”

It is worth mentioning at this point that the Snitzel/Encosta De Lago cross has an extraordinary strike rate with 3 Gr1 winners from 89 runners. That’s not just stakes winners, but Gr1 winners at a rate of 3.4% to runners. I can’t find anything to compare to that strike rate from such a generous data set.

Snitzel fillies are the talk of the town with Lady Shenandoah recording her third Gr1 success recently and being compared to Winx at the same stage of her career.

John Kelly continued, “I shouldn’t single out any more but might just slip in a mention for the cracking colt Lot 180

by So You Think out of Spanish Whisper. He’s the third foal of a multiple Gr2 winning mare by Lope De Vega who has become a seriously good influence in international pedigrees. And So You Think keeps coming up with the goods with his latest star being Revelare who has run up a long picket fence in Melbourne and who has big win in him.”

The Newhaven draft includes other yearlings by Snitzel, So You Think, Toronado and two of the most exciting young sires in Australia, Farnan and Too Darn Hot. All raised on the same pastures that have sent forth a long line of champions onto the Australian turf which in recent years have included Odeum, Shout The Bar, English, In The Congo and Autumn Glow.

John Kelly and his team will be ready for inspections in Barn D 17-20 and 28-32. s

Inglis Classic Yearling Sale posts strong figures

With the yearling season in 2025 showing some mixed results, the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale held steady with an average of $94,257, up from 2024’s average of $92,560. The median also remained the same as the previous year on $70,000.

“As I said earlier in the week, if you’d told me at the start of the sale that we would have an increase in average, would have the same median and effectively the same amount of $100,000+ lots sold – as well as seeing the top end increase year-on-year –all while achieving an 80% clearance rate, I would have absolutely taken in,” Inglis CEO Sebastian Hutch said.

“There was plenty of pre-sale sentiment that this sale was going to follow the downward trend of the other yearling sales held so far this year, and I could understand the apprehension, but we knew as a team we had done the work, we had a massive buying bench here that evidently was positive about the catalogue, so it’s really satisfying seeing those figures at the end of the sale and very much a case of reward for effort.

“As ever, we are hugely grateful for the support of the sale by breeders and

vendors, as well as the buyers who inspected through hot conditions and then bought through wet and at times very trying conditions. Ultimately we are pleased to have been able to facilitate what has been a very healthy market in the context of the current economic climate.”

The top lot, Lot 707, sold on the final day, making $520,000 to the bid of Magus Equine’s Willie Leung who was thrilled with purchasing The Autumn Sun colt.

“The Autumn Sun had two winners recently in Hong Kong so I thought this is the horse I should be going hardest for, so I did,” Leung told Inglis.

“I was a little bit scared I wouldn’t get him but I knew this was my best pick, I said to myself ‘I must get him’ and I got the job done. This is a very good Classic Sale. There’s plenty of quality here and while they’ve made their money, there’s been plenty of choices and I always love to buy at Classic. It’s a strong sale. Originally I thought it may be a little bit weak because of the economy but good horses always make money here.”

The sale topper is out of Talimena (Lonhro-Ouachita, by Canny Lad) who

By Renée Geelen

won twice. The colt is a full brother to Tulsi who was twice Group 1 placed in New Zealand and now races in the USA. Another half-sister, Quachita, is the dam of this season’s Listed Maribyrnong Trial Stakes winner Tremonti (Hellbent). Talimena comes from the Woodlands Stud family that produced Gr.1 winners Kiamichi, Denman, and Preserved.

The leading buyer by aggregate was McEvoy Mitchell Racing / Belmont Bloodstock (FBAA) who purchased eight yearlings for $1.7million, while the leading vendor was Arrowfield Stud who sold 35 yearlings for $4.24million. The leading vendor by average was the farm who sold the sales topper, Valiant Stud, whose three yearlings averaged $208,000. Proven sires made up nine of the top ten stallions by average with only Lucky Vega as the odd one out, as his oldest are juveniles. Zoustar led with an average of $283,000 across his three yearlings sold with I Am Invincible not far behind in second with an average of $253,000 being achieved.

Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale

The two day Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale is split by the sale company is book 1 and book 2, and both books saw a small contraction compared the year before. On the first day, the gross of $13,433,500 was down from $14.1million the year before, although across less lots sold. The average fell to $88,378, down from $99,178 in 2024, while the median dropped $10,000 to $70,000. On the second day for book 2, the story was similar with the average falling to $40,078 from 2024’s average price of $47,362, while the median held relatively steady, dropping from $35,000 to $30,000.

“There’s great thirst for horses here in the west. Obviously the local market again today was out in force. The quality of horse on offer continues to improve,” Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.

“I would like to congratulate the vendors for creating a genuine market and giving the buyers a great opportunity to buy horses at a value price that will as a whole race for the

very lucrative Westspeed bonuses. I’d like to thank the team – David and Rebecca here in Perth as well as the rest of the interstate team. It’s been a been a big build up from Pinjarra to here today. Obviously the investment here in the Swan Valley is something that has improved the product that we are selling in the state. The Swan Valley continues to provide a viable venue that created a very genuine market in the west.”

The first day of selling saw the sale topper early as Lot 15 made $450,000 to become the highest priced colt to be sold through this sale over history. The Playing God colt was sold by John Andrew’s Alwyn Park Stud on behalf of the Gr.1 producing farm Anita Vale. Owner Idan Young will send him to Dan Morton. “With what the Andersons (of Anita Vale) breed – everything they touch they turn to gold,” Young said in a Magic Millions press release.

“As an individual he’s the best I’ve seen for a while. He just stood out to me and I had to have him. He’s got

the Lonhro/Octagonal cross. I like the Blackfriars with the Sessions cross – he just had all the ticks for me. I looked at him several times and I just had to have him – just a beautiful type.”

Over the two days of selling, the leading buyer was Parnham Racing who purchased 15 yearlings for $1.72million, while Yarradale Stud was the leading vendor by gross, selling 15 yearlings for $1.43million. The leading vendor by average (3 or more sold) was Lynward Park whose 7 sales averaged $112,000.

Local West Australian sires dominated the table with Playing God achieving the leading sire by aggregate and average with 30 yearlings making a total of $3.9million at an average of $129,900. First season sire Splintex was second by gross, selling 27 yearlings for $1.1million at an average of just over $40,000. Second to Playing God by average (3 or more sold) was Written By whose three yearlings averaged $121,700.

Tasmania Sale Strong Clearance Continues

Three fillies were the joint sale toppers at the 2025 Magic Millions Tasmania Yearling, each of them making $80,000, and all purchased by out of state buyers. Star Thoroughbreds bought the Gold Standard half-sister to Zany Girl from Armidale Stud, and she is likely to stay in Tasmania to race alongside Star Thoroughbreds other Tassie trained runners like Magic Millions Tasmania 2YO Classic winner Sanniya (Stratosphere-Lady Writer, by Written Tycoon). Joe O’Neill from Prime Thoroughbreds spent the same amount, $80,000, on the Needs Further filly from Why For also from Armidale Stud, while the third equal top filly was a Satono Aladdin filly bought by Damon Gabbedy’s Belmont Bloodstock Agency and Tony and Calvin McEvoy of McEvoy Mitchell Racing.

The top three lots indicated a drop in the market, with no lots making six figures in 2025, compared to two the year before. “The sale gross over the past few years has come back significantly which is disappointing,”

Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. With 7 less lots sold than in 2024, the aggregate fell to $1,949,500 down from $2,767,500, while the average fell to $23,488, down from $30,750 in 2024. The median dropped significantly from $26,000 in 2024 to $18,000 in 2025.

“I thought we had a good, strong group of interstate buyers here – some participated with gusto, while others obviously didn’t find what they were looking for. The local market was OK. They bought only marginally less than what they did last year. To end up with a clearance rate of 74 per cent, isn’t sensational but it’s satisfactory. We thank Tim Brown and Tasracing – David, Blayne and Angela – it’s been a seamlessly run event and I thank them on that.”

“Magic Millions looks forward to working with Tasracing and TasBreeders in giving confidence to the industry from a local buyers perspective to come and buy yearlings here. Obviously some of the best horses racing here in the state at two and

three were purchased from this sale in recent years. We want to continue to promote that and give confidence to the local industry to come and support their local breeders. From a local breeders’ perspective we want to be able to give them the confidence that they can sell good horses here and get paid well. The reality is, if we can do both of those things it will significantly improve this sale.”

McEvoy Mitchell Racing/Belmont Bloodstock (FBAA) were the leading buyers with four yearlings purchased for a total of $216,000. Armidale Stud was the leading vendor with 20 yearlings sold for a total of $815,000 at an average of $40,000, making them also the leading vendor by average. Across a small catalogue and only one day of selling with 83 lots sold, they represented 42 different stallions. Local Tasmanian sire Needs Further led by gross with 7 yearlings sold for a total of $238,000, while the leading sire by average (2 or more sold) was first season sire Wooded whose two yearlings averaged $47,500.

There were three equal top lots this year ($80K). This is lot 89 a filly (Needs Further-Why For) sold by Armidale Stud to Prime Thoroughbreds, Vic.

APEX RATINGS for Australia 2025

Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS. BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%. Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).

For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.

Australian Sires by Average Earning Index

APEX RATINGS

Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS. BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%.

Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).

For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.

PEDIGREE SPOTLIGHT

Something old, something new

Another Wil (Street Boss – Arohanui by Bianconi) continued his rise to fame with an impressive victory in the MRC C F Orr S 1400m Gr1 before a desperately unlucky 4th in the VRC All Star Mile 1600m Gr1 where he almost fell when trying for a run near the finish. He became his underrated sire’s 10th individual Gr1 winner, a total certain to grow on the back of increased support the stallion received following the exploits of his headline grabbing son Anamoe.

To drive home this point Tempted and Tentyris successively won the Reisling S and Todman S, important Golden Slipper leadups at Rosehill, on the same programme recently. Tentyris has been saved for the Spring, but in defeating long time Slipper pre post favourite Wodeton he laid strong claim to being this season’s best juvenile. Time will tell.

Something Old

Another Wil’s pedigree has several notable features which occur towards the back of his seven generation pedigree which accompanies this analysis.

The first thing that struck this industry veteran was the “old school” vibrations emanating from his tail female line. There we find as the sires of his 3rd,4th,5th and 6th dams Lunchtime, Biscay, Rego and Delville Wood successively. Legends all. The introduction of sons of Nureyev and Danzig when combined with Street Boss has reignited this pedigree to produce Another Wil.

The second significant point is that there is a relatively minor amount of close inbreeding here, yet when we examine the 6th and 7th generations we find a significant amount of

inbreeding to the Blue Hen mare Selene, dam of Hyperion among others. There are multiple lines of Selene via Hyperion, Sickle and Hunter’s Moon. Thanks to Werk Thoroughbred Consultant’s ground-breaking invention of sibling identifiers which have been adopted by ARION Pedigrees NZ, we can track this pattern at a glance. Odd numbers in front of a name indicate half siblings, even numbers indicate full siblings. So every name in the tabulated pedigree with the number 11 in front is a descendant of Selene. All those shown here are half siblings, but if any were also full siblings they would have had an even number as well as the odd one.

Another Wil has six lines of Selene, four of Hyperion and one each of Sickle and Hunter’s Moon, those three stallions all being sons of Selene by different sires.

Another Wil (by Street Boss) has multiple reinforcement of the Blue Hen mare Selene in his pedigree makeup.

Something new

Turning to matters of current days, the emergence of Street Cry’s son Street Boss as a seriously good stallion is little surprise to fans of this sireline and the Street Cry branch in particular. His overall stats are impressive and he has positive nicks with a wide range of commercial broodmare sires including several from the Danzig/Danehill line.

Another Wil is one of only three runners by Street Boss out of Bianconi mares and Anamoe is out of a Redoute’s Choice mare. But clearly the standout here is the Street Boss/Exceed And Excel cross which has produced seven SWs from 47 runners including Gr1 winner Elite Street and the aforementioned juvenile stars Tempted and Tentyris.
