Sires With Winners - Wednesday April 26

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.

It's Caulfield Cup week, and what better moment to revisit the life and times of one of the greatest - if not the greatest - Caulfield Cup winner of the modern era.

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

The European sister farm to Yulong, Ace Stud have announced the addition of a new stallion to their Newmarket roster with Zeus Olympios to join Shaquille and Lucky Vega, who is finishing his Australian season in the Hunter Valley after switching from Victoria.

Coolmore has announced European stud fees for the 2027 breeding season, led once again by multiple Champion 2YO Sire No Nay Never at €120,000.

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.

Often considered the pinnacle of racing in Australia, the week-long Flemington carnival draws together four days of outstanding racing with South Australian bred runners playing a strong hand in this year’s results, winning on each of the four days.

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.

Darley shuttler Pinatubo (IRE) will have a great chance in the $1million Group III MRC Thoroughbred Club Stakes (1200m) at Sandown on Saturday with 3YO filly Sequinned and overnight in France he added a new stakes-winner to his tally.

Three trials for juveniles were run at Warwick Farm on Thursday morning with winners for Ciaron Maher, Bjorn Baker and the Waterhouse Bott stable.
