Caulfield Guineas Winning Sires – Where Are They Now?

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Oct 8

The G1 Golden Rose might be the headline spring race in terms of it’s sire making ability, but the G1 Caulfield Guineas is not far off it with four of the leading young sires in the country right now winning the race in successive years from 2018 to 2021.

The Autumn Sun got the ball rolling when taking out the race in 2018 coming off a win in the Golden Rose, a feat that Ole Kirk was able to repeat in 2020.

Ole Kirk won the Golden Rose / Caulfield Guineas double.

Anamoe came to the race off a second in the Golden Rose and followed it with a second in the Cox Plate, before returning at four to win that race putting the seal on his greatness. His stud career is about take flight with his first 2YO’s running this season.

Anamoe finished his racing career as Australian Horse of the Year.

Super Seth was only fifth in the G2 Caulfield Guineas Prelude won by Alligator Blood and then jumped out of the ground when stepped up to a mile to beat Alligator Blood, who would ultimately go on to become a seven time G1 winner of $9million.

Super Seth is new to the Coolmore Australia roster this spring.

When it was time for Super Seth to retire there were no takers for the son of Dundeel in Australia, so he kicked off at Waikato Stud in New Zealand.

Three Aussie G1 winners in his first crop put Super Seth in the spotlight and he is now at Coolmore Australia at a fee of $137,500, which has him on a par with The Autumn Sun at Arrowfield.

Private Life has his first foals being born this spring.

Coolmore have also given the 2024 Caulfield Guineas winner Private Life his chance at stud with his first foals arriving this spring.
