Stands at Swettenham Stud 2026 Fee: $88,000

A leading Victorian nursery, Swettenham Stud encompasses 900 acres of improved pasture on well drained loamy soil and is surrounded by some of the premier properties of the region, including Mitchelton Winery and Chateau Tahbilk, two vineyards to the immediate north, and Northwood Park to the south. Prior to being purchased by Robert Sangster and Colin Hayes in 1995, the land housed a well-regarded cattle operation belonging to the Sleigh family. Since then it has been transformed into a beautiful and very functional stud facility, encompassing facilities for stallions, mares, foals and yearlings.

Go Racing Primed for Big Week

It is a special week for New Zealand-based syndicator Go Racing, who will contest Group One races on both sides of the Tasman, including the Melbourne Cup (3200m) on Tuesday with Soul Of Spain, and they will also welcome world-renowned trainer Joseph O’Brien to New Zealand for an owners’ function on Thursday.

$1500 Colt Matching Strides with $2.8m and $2.7m Colts

The Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes on Saturday was a vindication for the worth of expensive yearlings with the first two home being Snitzel colts The Next Episode and St Gotthard bought for $2.8million and $2.7million, but what about the $1500 horse that ran a close third!

2026 Melbourne Cup Barrier Draw

The Melbourne Cup field has been chopping and changing at a rapid rate in recent days with some high profile withdrawals due to pre-race scan issues and a pesky hoof abcess ruling out Joseph O’Brien’s big hope Defiantly, so this is the final top 24 and likely favourite Point of Law (GB) will jump from gate 9.

Stormy Marco Half-Brother for 2027 Inglis Premier

Champion trainer Chris Waller credited the versatility of the Easter Yearling Sale when his exciting 3YO colt Stormy Marco won today’s G1 Victoria Derby at Flemington.

Point Of Law Delivers Dominant G1 Melbourne Cup Victory

The least experienced runner in this year’s field, Frankel (GB) colt Point Of Law led home a one-two-three finish for Ciaron Maher as the northern hemisphere bred 3yo charged away under Ethan Brown to win the $10.2m G1 VRC Melbourne Cup (3200m) by three and three-quarter lengths.

Sovereignty Fee Set at Darley USA

While Frankel colt Benvenuto Cellini is set to race on for the Coolmore partners in 2027 following his G1 BC Turf victory, Darley have retired G1 BC Classic winner Sovereignty with his fee set at US$175,000.
