Sires With Winners - Thursday April 2

Celebrating 140 years of racing and thoroughbred culture, Southern Highlands Thoroughbred Week presented by GROW Southern Highlands will span three weekends, from 19th November to 6th December.

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?

Here is the full list of 20 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Waikato Stud principal Mark Chittick had hoped to have two runners in Saturday’s Gr.2 Matriarch Stakes (2000m) at Flemington, but a change of plans ultimately delivered a memorable double for the Matamata nursery.

With the 2026 NZB Ready to Run Sale just over a week away, a graduate delivered some well-timed publicity for the world’s leading sale of two-year-olds with his victory in Sunday’s Group Three Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse (1800m) at Sha Tin.

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 39 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Cambridge Stud’s Almanzor (Fr) added a new stakes-winner to his tally in France on Sunday when progressive three year-old filly Lameloise landed the Listed Prix Vulcain (2500m) at Saint Cloud.

Pedigree does matter if you want to be winning races longer than 1200m, although in an interesting twist a colt bred on face value for speed is in fact from the family of Zabeel.

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