Coolmore predicting big future for Home Affairs following dream Golden Slipper result

In 2022, in an article by this correspondent crystal balling the next big thing in Australian stallions, all roads led to one new sire who was entering stud just after his fourth birthday.

Coolmore Stud were convinced they were onto a winner, almost a no-brainer, based on the template set by their most successful Australian stallion of all time.

What's On

“Fastnet Rock’s sireline, race record and pedigree gave us great confidence,” said the stud’s nominations and sales manager Colm Santry at the time, “and it’s the same with Home Affairs (I Am Invincible).

“These champion three-year-old colts in this country tend to make sires, and it was Home Affairs and Anamoe who were the cream of their crop.”

That enthusiasm was backed by a range of respected voices looking for key markers in a potential stallion.

“In terms of racing ability, Home Affairs was dominant,” said major buyer James Harron, citing the colt’s “almighty” three-length victory in Flemington’s Coolmore Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) against the best of his age, and his “tremendous” WFA win over Nature Strip (Nicconi) in the Lightning Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m) at the same course at his next start.

“And physically, he’s an imposing, masculine horse, with great presence and strength - very much in the Australian speed mould which everyone is always looking to replicate.

“He’s by one of the dominant stallions of recent years in I Am Invincible, and from an outstanding female line. His dam is a half-sister to the very promising stallion Russian Revolution, and hails from the hallowed Fanfreluche family.

“He’s an outstanding prospect for Australian breeding.”

Fast forward almost four years, and rarely can the hopes, dreams, calculations and expectations surrounding a stallion have been fulfilled more thoroughly at such an early stage. Australasian breeding, clamouring for a new dominant sire as the sun sets on a generation of greats, may have a very special one in its midst.

First, Home Affairs was feverishly popular. Though standing initially at a relatively hefty first season fee of $110,000, he covered 203 mares in 2022. He served 189 at $99,000 in year two, before 227 and 205 in the past two seasons, at $82,500.

Colm Santry

Next, without a runner on the ground, Home Affairs’ stock was of such quality that he produced the sale toppers at the two most important yearling auctions in the southern hemisphere in 2025.

At Magic Millions Gold Coast, Japanese trainer Mitsu Nakauchida paid $3.2 million for a filly out of outstanding mare Sunlight (Zoustar). At Inglis Easter, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott went to $3 million to secure a colt out of their former topline mare Shout The Bar (Not A Single Doubt), in league with Kestrel Thoroughbreds.

Now, at his first attempt, Home Affairs has sired the winner of Australian breeding’s most important event, the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m), after Guest House’s barnstorming victory in the world’s richest two-year-old race at Rosehill on Saturday.

The hulking Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained colt - setting up his own stud future - became Home Affairs’ third stakes winners from just 27 runners, at 11.11 per cent. He has seven stakes horses, at 25.93 per cent. He tops the first season sires’ tables on both sides of the Tasman, with one of his stakes winners having come in New Zealand.

And on Saturday afternoon, he seized the front-running on Australia’s two-year-old sires’ list.

After the Slipper triumph Coolmore - hit by the untimely deaths of Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj) and So You Think (High Chaparral) last spring - will with good reason be feeling mightily pleased with the ballistic start the seven-year-old Home Affairs has made.

It’s also come at a time when Australia has been almost desperately searching for its next hot stallion to step up in the wake of the dominant 20-somethings of the modern era such as Snitzel (Redoute’s Choice), I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), Written Tycoon (Iglesia), and of course Fastnet Rock (Danehill).

“The stars have aligned for us, thankfully,” Santry told ANZ News on Sunday.

“The country’s been crying out for a new leading sire, and hopefully Home Affairs is the one.”

The experienced Santry went further, buoyed by the knowledge Home Affairs had emulated two of the greats - Danehill (Danzig) and Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt) in leaving a Slipper victor in his first crop, those winners being Danzero in 1994 and Stay Inside in 2021, who both - like Guest House no doubt will - became sires.

“Home Affairs is well on the way to being an elite stallion already,” Santry said. “I believe he’ll be the best sire from that whole sireline in this part of the world.”

That’s a sizeable call, given that Invincible Spirit sireline includes I Am Invincible himself, the three-time champion stallion.

But Coolmore are supremely confident - not only due to Home Affairs’ sales and early racetrack results but the strong support he’s had from breeders. This list is headed by Coolmore itself, who sent most of their best mares to him last spring after losing Wootton Bassett and So You Think.

“For us, I don’t say something will be a low risk stallion to be successful, because you never know, and the proof will be in the pudding,” Santry said.

“But Coolmore supported the horse heavily last season. We had so much confidence in the horse being successful that we bred all our best mares to him last year, before he had a runner.

“His numbers are tracking the right way. We were of course hoping that would be the case, and it looks like that success is going to happen.”

Colm Santry

Saturday’s Slipper was a triumph for connections, with Price celebrating his first win in one of Australia’s “Big Four” races after buying Guest House from Newgate’s draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for $270,000, in conjunction with Tim Rogers Bloodstock and the Roll The Dice Racing group whose familiar colours he bears.

But it was also, Santry said, a vehemently encouraging win for the breeding scene as a whole, since Home Affairs has been so strongly supported.

“Yes, it was a very important day for Coolmore, but it’s like everybody has a piece of Home Affairs. He’s been a wicked popular stallion,” said Santry. “It was fantastic to see what he did yesterday, winning a Slipper from his first crop.

“I spoke to one breeder this morning who was over the moon. He’s got 11 Home Affairs foals on the ground.

“The industry has backed him to the hilt. They’ve believed in him, like we did, and now hopefully we’ll all be rewarded.

“A lot of the commercial breeders in this country have exposure to this horse, and I’m delighted for all of them. It’s very important for Coolmore that the clientele get rewarded.”

Given his trajectory so far, no crystal ball is needed to predict a hefty service fee hike for Home Affairs in 2026 - possibly almost double his current mark of $82,500 (inc GST).

The stallion batted at 82.9 per cent fertility in 2024, the latest season for which data is available. “He’s very fertile. He only has to serve a mare once,” said Santry.

Santry noted Home Affairs also fitted the mould of Fastnet Rock and other leading sires in Australia, in terms of success in the 1000 to 1200 metres range.

“Fastnet Rock won one Group 1 in the Lightning Stakes at Flemington, over 1000 metres, and his other one in the Oakleigh Plate over 1100 metres,” he said. “He was the fastest son of a champion sire, in Danehill, to stand at stud.

“And now we have the fastest son of a champion sire in I Am Invincible at stud.

We might just have the best sire in the country going forward into the future

Colm Santry

“Those five and six furlong speed horses make champion sires in Australia. That sort of speed is so important in this country. The horses that can sire 1000-metre and 1200-metre horses can eat into a lot of race programming here - the Coolmore Stud Stakes, the Slipper, the Everest, the Lightning, the Newmarket, and so on.

“They’re the horses the market really wants in this country. So It’s very important that Coolmore have the best one, and we might just have the best sire in the country going forward into the future.”

That said, and while Home Affairs didn’t race beyond 1200 metres in his ten starts, the sizeable Guest House looks likely to succeed at distances greater than he traversed on Saturday, and in his meritorious third in the Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m).

“With the turn of foot he showed in the Slipper, you’d think he’ll get 1400 or 1600 pretty easily. He’s a beautiful big horse,” Santry said. “So I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a Guineas later on.”

At the same time, it could be argued Guest House - bred by Love Racing PL, Henderson Racing and Breeding, and G1g Racing and Breeding - was made for Saturday’s win.

Among the 15 stallions in the first four generations of his pedigree, four are Slipper winners, all of them damsires. They are his own damsire Stratum (Redoute’s Choice); Home Affairs’ damsire Flying Spur (Danehill); I Am Invincible’s damsire Canny Lad (Bletchingly); and Guest House’s third damsire, Vain (Wilkes).

Meanwhile, as for Home Affairs’ two sale toppers, both are awaiting their first starts. The daughter of Sunlight is in Japan and named Lia La La, while the son of Shout The Bar now carries the name of The Railway, a fitting pub-related moniker for a syndicate headed by John Singleton.

Group 1 winner Vinrock added to Yulong's burgeoning stallion roster

Group 1-winning colt Vinrock (I Am Invincible) will join the Yulong roster for 2026, entering the stallion market at an introductory fee of $22,000 (inc GST).

The classy son of I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) was unbeaten as a juvenile and became the first Australian two-year-old Group 1 winner for his champion sire when landing the ATC Sires' Produce Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) at Randwick last year.

Vinrock also became the first horse in 44 years to complete the VRC Sires' Produce (Gr 2, 1400m) and ATC Sires double, winning the former by two lengths over subsequent stakes winner Brave Design (Brave Smash) and the latter by 0.3 lengths over Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj) colt State Visit.

Bred by Rosemont Stud, Vinrock was purchased by his trainer Matt Laurie and Wilannah Park Bloodstock for $300,000 at the 2024 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, and Laurie knew he had talent from the outset.

“He’s a class horse, we knew he was tough right from the beginning, and he showed so much natural talent," the trainer said following Vinrock’s Group 1 success.

“He was unbeaten as a two-year-old, and he's a hell of a type, so he's going to be very well-received when he gets to stud."

In five starts as a three-year-old, Vinrock landed the Exford Plate (Listed, 1400m) at Flemington while also producing fourth-place efforts in both the Caulfield Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) and McNeil Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m). His final outing came when sixth behind Jimmysstar (Per Incanto) in the CF Orr Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m) on November 15.

Vinrock will offer breeders an opportunity to access an Australian Group 1-winning son of I Am Invincible - a profile shared by only three other sons currently at stud: proven sires Brazen Beau and Hellbent, and Home Affairs, whose son Guest House won Saturday’s Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m).

He is the best of three winners out of the Matriarch Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m) winner Girl Gone Rockin’ (Redoute’s Choice), herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Syreon (Flying Spur), the pair being out of the Group 2-winning mare Sorrento (Just A Dancer).

This news comes after a weekend where I Am Invincible has shown himself a talented sire of sires and Yulong’s chief operating officer, Sam Fairgray, said the horse possessed all the ingredients breeders seek in a young stallion.

“Vinrock is an exceptional colt. Elite performances at two, an outstanding page, and a real physical presence,” he said.

“To win both the VRC and ATC Sires’ Produce races in the same season is so rare and speaks volumes about his class, toughness, and natural ability.

“He’s a son of I Am Invincible, and from a high-quality Redoute’s Choice mare, like Zoustar, Anamoe and Super Seth, which gives him a pedigree that will really resonate with breeders, and we’re excited to welcome him to the farm.”

Vinrock joins a quality, ever-growing stallion roster at Yulong, headed by ever-present stalwart Written Tycoon (Iglesia) and Group 1 sires Alabama Express (Redoute’s Choice) and Grunt (O’Reilly).

Morning Briefing

Australia

50 for Toronado

Toronado (Credit: Swettenham Stud)

Swettenham Stud stalwart Toronado (High Chaparral) brought up his half-century of stakes winners on Sunday when the Grant and Alana Williams-trained Royal Toronado (5 g ex Harada Queen by Haradasun) proved too strong for his 11 rivals in the Pinjarra Cup (Listed, 2300m) at Pinjarra Park. Ridden by William Pike, the five-year-old gelding defeated Silver Eye (Sessions) by 2.6 lengths with a further 0.2 lengths back to Rocking Society (Awesome Rock) in third place. Purchased by Williams Racing for $100,000 out of the Amelia Park draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale, Royal Toronado is out of the winning Haradasun (Fusaichi Pegasus) mare Harada Queen, making him a brother to winner Disengo and a half-brother to winners American Queen (All American) and Setagaya (Shooting To Win). Toronado stood the 2025 breeding season at a fee of $88,000 (inc GST).

Vinery challenge for Ohope Wins

Ohope Wins (Ocean Park) has conquered all before her in New Zealand this season and she is looking to extend her reign in Australia when she heads to Rosehill on Saturday to contest the Vinery Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m). Formerly trained by Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott, the daughter of Ocean Park (Thorn Park) is undefeated at stakes level, winning the New Zealand Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m), David and Karyn Ellis Filles Classic (Gr 2, 2100m) and Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes (Gr 2, 2000m), and owner Yulong Investments were keen to tackle Australian autumn targets with their filly following her New Zealand Oaks triumph. She has subsequently been entrusted to the care of Chris Waller, who is fresh off a Group 1 hat-trick at Rosehill on Saturday. “She has settled in really well,” the trainer told Weigh In. “Andrew and Lance have done a fantastic job with her and they have been great to deal with since we have taken her over. She has had a pretty straightforward fortnight. She is very professional, she has settled in really well, she is in the same barn as Autumn Glow. We haven’t fussed over her, we have just treated her as a normal horse. We have seen some good things, she has had a couple of quiet gallops and she had a trial. James [McDonald] was aboard in the trial and he was very impressed with her. She will run in the Vinery this Saturday over 2000 metres, it is a pretty good field. She has certainly got something about her.”

Price and Kent Jnr turn attentions to Australian Cup

Having landed the Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m) on the weekend with Guest House (Home Affairs), Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr will turn their attention towards Saturday's Australian Cup (Gr 1, 2000m). The pair will send Sabaj (Manhattan Rain) to this weekend's Group 1 following a fourth placing in the All-Star Mile (Gr 1, 1600m) at Flemington on March 7. Having lost the mount on Sabaj to returning jockey Mark Zahra, Beau Mertens has now regained the ride following Zahra's suspension for careless riding last weekend. "If only I had waited, I would have been a good bloke, instead I've covered myself in shame," Price said. "I had to put my arm around Beau again as there are riders going left, right and centre." Price said the stable had been keen to try Sabaj at 2000 metres. "He's a big clean-winded horse and we've been working him for 2000 metres," the trainer said. "I think he'll show up, but he's got to be good enough on the day. He's a nice, sound horse, and he seems to go on all types of ground. If [Pride Of] Jenni turns up, she will be unbeatable and Birdman, he's coming through the 1800-metre race. It's a competitive race, he likes Flemington. It will be a small field, he's a relaxed horse, so he should travel good."

TJ Smith remains an option for Tempted

Ciaron Maher is keen to keep his carnival options open with Tempted (Street Boss) after the filly's last-start success in the Surround Stakes (Gr 1, 1400m). The daughter of Street Boss (Street Cry) will take in a barrier trial this week to keep her ticking over, with a 1000-metre heat at Hawkesbury on Monday and a 1030-metre trial at Rosehill on Tuesday the options. "I'll see what the tracks are like, but she will probably go to Rosehill," Maher said. Having finished second behind superstar sprinter Ka Ying Rising (Shamexpress) in The Everest (Gr 1, 1200m) last spring, Tempted has won both of her starts this campaign, scoring in the Eskimo Prince Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) prior to her maiden Group 1 victory in last month’s Surround. "I was down at Bong Bong during the week. I pulled her out of the paddock, and I thought, she's going to jump out of the paddock, so I swiftly put her back away," Maher said. "She's in great order. Maybe an Arrowfield or TJ [Smith]. I will see what the other horses are doing."

Sky to air Inglis Easter Yearling Sale preview

Sky will air Caroline Searcy’s early look at select drafts that are set to go under the hammer at the 2026 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale in Sydney.

The preview will be replayed through the week on Sky Thoroughbred Central after Monday’s premiere airing, giving buyers a chance to shortlist their favourite yearlings ahead of inspections at Inglis Riverside and the Easter sale at Riverside Stables, Warwick Farm on March 29 and March 30.

Sunshine Coast meeting abandoned

Sunday's meeting scheduled to take place at the Sunshine Coast was abandoned after the track received 30 millimetres of rain in the morning, making conditions unsuitable for racing.

Latest Model struts her stuff in St Leger

Latest Model (Credit: Race Images)

Gary Vile is tipping a bright future for Latest Model (Vespa) following her win in the NZ St Leger (2500m) at Trentham on Saturday. The five-year-old mare has shown the Awapuni-based trainer plenty of promise in her 24 previous starts, notching three victories, and he always thought she would be better suited over ground and she got her opportunity to show her staying qualities in the St Leger. Ridden by Elen Nicholas, the five-year-old mare defeated Freebelle (Belardo) by 0.1 lengths with a further 0.6 lengths back to He's A Battler (He’s Remarkable) in third place. “I got my weight down to 52 kilograms to ride her, which is a tough effort,” Nicholas said. “I almost felt like I had gone a bit too soon at the top of the straight, but she persevered the whole way to the line and it worked out perfectly." Vile was rapt with the win and rates Latest Model alongside a couple of her stakes-winning stable predecessors. “I have been blessed over the years to have three good stayers – Jacksstar, who is probably the best I have had, Rock On, and this girl is up with them,” he said. “She found the line very well at her last start, her first start in open company, and I knew 2500 metres wasn’t going to worry her. I didn’t go to the Wellington Cup and maybe I made a mistake going to the Remutaka and we didn’t have much luck in that, but she has won the St Leger and anywhere else in the world this is a horse maker.”

Te Akau bring up season century

Te Akau Racing have once again surpassed the 100-win mark in a season, bringing up the milestone this term when Perlino (Super Seth) took out a Rating 65 (1600m) at Riccarton Park on Saturday. It continued a successful day for Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson who earlier in the day recorded their 14th New Zealand stakes triumph of the season when Origin Of Love (Snitzel) won the Wellington Guineas (Gr 2, 1600m) at Trentham. Te Akau principal David Ellis said he is proud of the stable’s continued success. “It’s a special milestone that we’ve managed to achieve for quite a few years in a row now,” he said. “I remember Mark Walker set a new benchmark for wins when he trained 108 in the 2009/10 season, eclipsing the previous 17-year-old record, which was a very proud moment for Te Akau and we’ve kept it going. Karyn [Fenton-Ellis] and I are very proud on every level. We’re proud of the horses we’ve bought and syndicated, the horses we train for other owners and breeders that support Te Akau, and all our wonderful staff here at the farm and the stables in Matamata, Riccarton and Melbourne. These people give everything they’ve got to the racing industry and looking after the horses.”

120 for Candy Ride

Emerging Market (3 c ex Wild Empress by Empire Maker) provided Chad Brown with further success at Fair Grounds when he took the track’s most valuable race, Saturday’s Louisiana Derby (Gr 2, 9.5f), and in the process provided Candy Ride (Ride The Rails) with his 120th individual stakes winner. Sent out the market leader having gone into the race with a win in a Tampa Bay Downs maiden on his only previous start, Emerging Market came out on top in a tussle with Pavlovian (Pavel) which lasted the length of the straight. A head split the pair crossing the line with Golden Tempo (Curlin) third, another length away. Bred in Kentucky out of the Empire Maker (Unbridled) mare Wild Empress, Emerging Market was a US$185,000 purchase from the consignment of breeder Stoneriggs Farm at the 2024 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Candy Ride stands at Lane's End for a fee of US$60,000 (approx. AU$85,190).

Life And Times (Justify) led home the remainder, a further five and a quarter lengths adrift.

US: Life Of Joy too smart for Fair Grounds Oaks rivals

Life Of Joy (3 f Gun Runner - Jordan's Leo by Malibu Moon) took her record to three wins in five starts when proving to be too smart for her six rivals in Saturday’s Fair Ground Oaks (Gr 2, 8.5f). The Brad Cox-trained filly beat favourite Bella Ballerina (Street Sense) by three and three-quarter lengths with Luv Your Neighbor (Constitution) another four and three-quarter lengths away in third as the field finished well stretched out.

US: Lagynos lands Muniz Memorial

Lagynos (5 h Kantharos - Steamy by Speightstown) justified his position at the head of the market when running out a length winner of Saturday’s Muniz Memorial Classic (Gr 2, 9f) on the Fair Grounds turf. Lining up off the back of a course and distance win in Grade 3 company last month, the Steve Asmussen-trained five-year-old beat Tom’s Magic (Justify) with Program Trading (Lope De Vega) finishing third, two lengths behind the winner.

Fulleffort (3 c ex Callmethesqueeze by Awesome Again) guaranteed himself a place in the field for May’s Kentucky Derby (Gr 1, 10f) with a victory in Saturday’s Jeff Ruby Steaks (Gr 3, 9f) at Turfway Park, a result which also provided Liam’s Map (Unbridled’s Song) with his 32nd individual stakes winner. Having finished runner-up on each of his previous starts, which both came in Listed company, the Brad Cox-trained colt went one better as he beat Stark Contrast (Caravaggio) by two and a half lengths. Medici (Into Mischief) was a further three and a half lengths away in third. Bred in Kentucky by Athens Woods, Fulleffort was purchased by his owners St. Elias Stables for US$425,000 out of the Eaton Sales consignment at Fasig-Tipton's The Saratoga Sale in 2024. He is out of the three-time stakes-winning mare Callmethesqueeze (Awesome Again), making him a half-brother to 2024 Alabama Stakes (Gr 1, 10f) winner Power Squeeze (Union Rags). Liam's Map stands at Lane's End for a fee of US$50,000 (approx. AU$70,995).

US: Skippylongstocking adds to tally

Skippylongstocking (7 h Exaggerator - Twinkling by War Chant) followed up his win in January’s Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (Gr 1, 9f) with a clear-cut success in Oaklawn’s Essex Handicap (Gr 3, 9f) on Saturday. Making the most of the significant drop in grade, the Saffie Joseph Jr-trained seven-year-old came home five and a quarter lengths clear of the chasing pack who were led home by Mackman (Union Rags). San Siro (Classic Empire) finished third, another neck away.

US: Gold Phoenix back to winning ways

Grade 1 winner Gold Phoenix (8 g Belardo - Magnifica by Mizzen Mast) notched his 11th win in 31 starts, and ninth in stakes company, when taking out Saturday’s San Luis Rey Stakes (Gr 3, 12f) on the Santa Anita turf.

I Am Invincible’s dynasty surges as Invincible Ibis claims Hong Kong Derby laurels

Invincible Ibis (Credit: HKJC)

Invincible Ibis capped off a brilliant 24 hours for I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) as a sire of sires when the son of Hellbent produced a dominant display to win Sunday’s Hong Kong Derby (Listed, 2000m) at Sha Tin.

On Saturday, Yarraman’s stalwart stallion's credentials as a top notch grandsire came to fore once again courtesy of his dual Group 1 winner Home Affairs’ son Guest House taking out the biggest juvenile prize of all, the Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at Rosehill.

Ridden by Hugh Bowman and trained by Mark Newnham, the Australian-bred Invincible Ibis made amends for his second-placed finish in the second leg of the Four-Year-Old Triple Crown, the Hong Kong Classic Cup (Listed, 1800m), with a convincing length and a quarter victory over New Zealand-bred Numbers (Tivaci).

It was redemption for Mark Newnham, who had gone agonisingly close in last year’s Hong Kong Derby when his charge My Wish (Flying Artie) was narrowly denied by Cap Ferrat (Snitzel).

The final time of 1.59.43 was not only a new race record, but a new track record for 2000 metres at Sha Tin, beating the previous standard which had been set back in 2018.

“Today’s a fantastic day… [I feel] completely opposite to last year that’s for sure,” Newnham said.

“It was just a really smooth race to watch… at the corner it was just going to be, ‘is he good enough?’ And probably a furlong into the straight I was pretty confident he was going to be strong late.

“He’s a horse that uses his energy well, relaxes… and against your own age group you don’t have to be the superior stayer, but he’s run fantastic time today and the way he hit the line, it’s not one of those things where you’d be doubtful again,” added Newnham.

Bred by Adrian Goonan, Invincible Ibis was purchased by Kilgravin Lodge and Waikato Bloodstock for $80,000 from the Widden Stud draft at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in 2023, before being picked up by his trainer for $425,000 at the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale a few months later.

He is out of the 11-time winner My Dear Friend (General Nediym), herself a half-sister to South African champion Harry’s Friend (Haradasun).

Widden Stud’s Antony Thompson said: “A great result and a huge thrill for the entire Widden team to have foaled, raised and sold the winner of Hong Kong’s most prestigious race.

“It was also incredibly special to see our great friends Mark Newnham and Hugh Bowman doing Australia proud on such a big stage.

“We’re delighted for the team at Kilgravin Lodge - the colt showed enormous potential early on, which was reflected in a strong result for them, and it’s fantastic to now see Invincible Ibis fulfil that promise.”

The result provided Hellbent - who stands alongside his father at Yarraman Park - with his 11th individual stakes winner. The Mitchell Family’s operation will offer all three of Hellbent’s catalogued yearlings at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, which gets under way in Sydney on Sunday.

I Am Invincible has 41 yearlings set to come under the hammer during the two-day sale, while Coolmore’s Home Affairs is represented by 17 youngsters.

The result is the third time in the past four seasons that the winner of the Hong Kong Derby has been an Inglis graduate, with Invincible Ibis joining Cap Ferrat (2025) and Voyage Bubble (Deep Field) (2023) as winners of the time-honoured contest.

The win of Invincible Ibis follows that of Inglis Classic Sale graduate Little Paradise (Toronado) in the Hong Kong Classic Mile (Listed, 1600m) and Inglis Premier Sale graduate Stormy Grove (Toronado) in the Hong Kong Classic Cup.


Plenty of talent showcased on Derby undercard

Hot Delight (Credit: HKJC)

The undercard was dominated by exciting rising talent with four three-year-old geldings winning four of the first six races, with Too Darn Hot’s (Dubawi) Hot Delight, Deep Field’s (Northern Meteor) Mega Mastermind, Biouvac’s (Exceed And Excel) Absolute Heart and Ardrossan (Redoute’s Choice) gelding Gold Patch prevailing.

Hot Delight maintained a perfect record with a third successive win to give Francis Lui his 500th victory on Sha Tin turf with success in the Class 3 Werther Handicap (1200m) under Vincent Ho in 1m 08.19s – only marginally outside of Victor The Winner’s (Toronado) Class record mark of 1m 08.11s.

“He’s [Hot Delight] a nice horse, we know that. But he’s only three, so we want to excel as much as possible, but we also want to keep him for his four-year-old season, so it was a nice run,” Ho said.

Lui said: “Good horse, he’s a very good horse and honest. Even in trackwork he’s showed he's improved.”

Lui also struck with Gold Patch under Zac Purton in the Class 4 Sky Darci Handicap (1200m).

Jamie Richards and Brenton Avdulla combined with Mega Mastermind to win the Class 4 Luger Handicap (1600m) before Absolute Heart landed the Class 4 Ping Hai Star Handicap (1200m) for Cody Mo and Derek Leung.

Circuit Champion (Starspangledbanner), purchased at the 2024 Hong Kong International Sale for HK$5.4 million, showcased his talent with a last-to-first success in the Class 3 Furore Handicap (1200m) for Danny Shum to improve his record to two wins and a second from three starts.

Slowly away, the Starspangledbanner (Choisir) gelding finished powerfully under Keith Yeung, clocking 21.81s for the final 400 metres to justify the patience of his connections with the five-year-old, who has overcome cannon bone, humeral bone and pelvis issues as well as a fever before making a belated debut.

Pierre Ng’s Aeroinvincible (Per Incanto) continued Andrea Atzeni’s stunning March surge with victory in the Class 4 Fay Fay Handicap (1400m). Atzeni took his tally for the month to 12, a haul which includes two quartets.

Ng and Purton teamed with Aerovolanic (Frosted) in the Class 3 Rapper Dragon Handicap (1400m) after the David Hayes-trained Shamus Storm (Shamus Award) clinched the Class 3 Designs On Rome Handicap (1800m) for Harry Bentley.

Tony Cruz’s Winning Ovation (Cotai Glory) clinched a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million (approx. AU$271,810) by winning the Class 2 Golden Sixty Handicap (1400m) for Angus Chung.

Hong Kong racing continues at Happy Valley on Wednesday night.
