One to Watch – Werribee

Tara Madgwick - Thursday May 14

The 2026 Arqana May Breeze Up Sale has just been conducted in France and a colt bought at that sale last year by Colm Sharkey as agent for Ciaron Maher Bloodstock for €420,000 made a winning Australian debut on Thursday.

A big strapping son of champion sire Too Darn Hot, Fyreline (IRE) had two starts in the UK  last year for Harry Eustace with his best effort a third placing at Newcastle on the all weather track over 7f last November.

Fyreline arrived in Australia in January this year and stepped out at the races for the first time for Ciaron Maher in a 1400m maiden at Werribee today.

Ridden by John Allen, he made a wide run from back in the field and sustained the effort all the way to the line, although did look as though he would take great benefit from the hit out.

Fyreline was a successful pinhook having been sourced from the Watership Down Stud draft at Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2 for 135,000 guineas by Mark Grant Racing, who offered him at Arqana.

Fyreline is the second winner from Earring, a Group II placed Dansili daughter of Group I winning Galileo mare Together.

Too Darn Hot is back at Darley Australia this spring and is sure to cover another star studded book of mares at a fee of $275,000.
