Torryburn Stud Bred Tenth Winner for Home Affairs

Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 10

On track to be crowned Champion Australian First Season Sire and set a new record for earnings for a first season sire, Home Affairs added a tenth winner to his tally on Sunday at the Sunshine Coast and fittingly, Home Tomurra was bred and sold by Torryburn Stud.

The Cornish family owned Torryburn Stud famously bred Home Affairs and sold him to Tom Magnier at Inglis Easter for $875,000 during the COVID impacted 2020 edition and the rest is history.

Trained by Henry Dwyer, Home Tomurra was having his second start in the 1000m maiden after a debut third at Doomben last month.

He took a while to hit top gear for Daniel Moor and was doing his best work on the line to win by a head and will undoubtedly enjoy a touch further when he steps out next.

A $130,000 Magic Millions purchase for his trainer from the Torryburn Stud draft, Home Tomurra is the fifth winner from six foals to race from Apamurra (USA), an imported Godolphin bred half-sister by Lonhro to blue hen Essaouira, the dam of Group I winners Alizee and Astern.

Home Tomurra was a $130,000 Magic Millions yearling purchase.

Apamurra has been a regular visitor to Coolmore and has a weanling filly by Shinzo and was covered last spring by Storm Boy.

Home Affairs has now sired the winners of over $4.2million in Australia and that puts him ahead of the record for a first season sire in Australia set by Too Darn Hot (GB) in 2024 with $4.1million.

Home Affairs will set a record for first season sire earnings this year.

Home Affairs has had a deserved fee increase to $176,000 this spring.
