Sires With Winners - Wednesday December 15

For many racehorses the only race they will ever win is their maiden and Inglis have spread the money into this very important area with their Xtra Bonus Series and two $50,000 bonuses went off at the always popular Snake Gully Cup meeting at Gundagai on Friday to the great delight of connections of Essay and Southern Grace.

The new season is nearly upon us and that means all over the country a new crop of rising two year-olds are taking baby steps in the best stables in the land with the Australian Turf Club announcing this week they had received 1881 entries for the 2027 Golden Slipper, so who is in the race?

The catalogue for the Inglis Digital November (Late) Online Sale is now online. However, as a result of the worldwide Microsoft outage, bidding on the sale will not be available until 10am on Monday.

Four days of Flemington action are behind us for another year, and what a grand feast of horse racing it was - now Melbourne’s carnival continues with the second running of the MRC's time-honoured G1 CF Orr Stakes, in its new place on the racing calendar.

The first Canterbury night meeting of a new season kicked off in style on Friday evening with 3YO I Am Invincible filly From Me to You blasting her rivals on debut to win as she pleased.

Dashing Dixie was the bridesmaid last weekend when runner-up to Angels Halo in the Gr.1 New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m), and her connections are hoping she can be the bride on Saturday when she backs up in the Gr.2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton.

Here is the full list of 46 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

From our vantage point in 2026, we can look back at modern Cox Plate history and marvel at how quickly the years are passing.

The last Autumn running of the CF Orr Stakes in 2025 closed a long chapter when Another Wil narrowly denied Mr Brightside consecutive victories and the historic first running of the “new” race in November last year had a worthy winner in race favourite Jimmysstar, who is back to defend his title.

For such a contentious topic—particularly for participants in the thoroughbred industry—the wait for updated ATO guidance on whether an activity is a “business” or a “hobby” has certainly been a long one.
