Breednet - Monday Dec 29

The last week of Christmas racing has been as busy as usual and thrown up plenty of black type updates, including five new stakes winners, for upcoming yearling sale.

They include Gosford Guineas winner, Caffe Florian, which became the third stakes winner for her dam, Madam Andree, along with Anders and Ostraka, while she has also left the dam of current top three-year-old Skyhook.
