The South Australian bred and trained Pretty Baby highlighted her claims for the upcoming $1.5m G1 MRC Thousand Guineas (1600m) after delivering her rivals a thumping in the $175,000 Listed MVRC Atlantic Jewel Stakes (1300m) on the Sandown Hillside course.

The $120,000 Listed SAJC David Peacock Oaklands Plate (1400m) at Morphettville on Saturday featured a big field of 14 and the winner was a maiden going in and Pretty Baby has come out of it a stakes-winner!

Grand Syndicates could not make it three consecutive wins in the Group III Grand Syndicates Spring Stakes at Morphettville with their triple Group 1 winner Behemoth, but it was the stable’s second stringer Calypso Reign who got the job done in style.

Despite limited support from breeders, the royally-bred Redoute's Choice stallion Barbados has carved out a niche in the South Australian market.

Trainer Gordon Richards had a day out at Morphettville on Saturday with stable star Gytrash downing Sunlight in the feature R N Irwin Stakes while the promising 3yo gelding Garner opened his stakes account in the Listed Redelva Stakes (1100m) to credit his sire Barbados with his first stakes-winner.
