Champion Australian sire I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) topped Day 2 of the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale with his filly from Noor Sahara (Lope De Vega) knocked down for $400,000 to Peter Twomey’s Wattle Bloodstock as agent for an Asian-based buyer.

“She was our number one pick of the entire sale so we’re really happy and somewhat relieved to get her,” Twomey said not long after Lot 424 left the sale-ring after attracting bids from around the arena on Wednesday.

What's On

“We bought the filly for a client of mine who races horses in England, New Zealand and Australia. 

“He has a global view on things and she represents a quality European family and we’re obviously mindful of what a good stallion I Am Invincible is so we were really keen to get her.”

 Her dam Noor Sahara won the Prix de Pontarme (Listed, 1600m) at Longchamp and second-dam By Invitation (Van Nistelrooy) is a half-sister to the dam of Champion European Sprinter Dream Ahead (Diktat).

“The client was here for the Easter Sale and we were able to buy one Frankel filly but we missed out on a lot of others so the aim for me coming to the Inglis Weanling Sale was to find an Easter-quality horse to race,” Twomey added.

“We were also beaten on the Frankel colt from Awhile (War Front) yesterday and this one will stay in Australia to race. She will head to Twin Hills now and Chris Kent and Ollie Tait will look after her. They’re at Cootamundra and I’m just down the road in Wagga so I can keep a close eye on her.

“More than likely she will go to a trainer in Sydney, where the client has a few horses racing already. It’s very nice to add this filly to the Frankel filly from the Easter Sale.’’

A Shinzo (Snitzel) colt from My Xanadu (Fastnet Rock) (Lot 412) also made $400,000 to share top billing on the second-session leaderboard.  

He’s the first foal out of a winning half-sister to SAJC Oaklands Park Plate (Listed, 1400m) winner He’s Heaven (Zoustar) and second-dam Lights Of Heaven (Zabeel) won a SAJC Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m).

Shinzo had been represented by another popular foal earlier on Wednesday when the Newgate Consignment colt from Miss Alacrity (Munnings) (Lot 383) changed hands for $325,000 when sold to Tasman Bloodstock.

“The appetite for Shinzo has been obvious this week. And there was no better foal by him on the ground at home,” Coolmore Stud’s Tom Moore said of Lot 412.  

Day 1 leading vendor Mike O’Donnell (Fairhill Farm) and Day 1 leading buyer Stefan Pardi combined to top the early leaderboard on Wednesday morning when a Zousain (Zoustar) filly (Lot 323) changed hands for $320,000.

“It was exciting yesterday and it’s a thrill to start Day 2 with a filly of this quality although we’re not as busy with just a half-dozen yearlings today,” O’Donnell said.

“Her dam Jolie Brise has foaled two Melbourne Stakes winners and she’s back in foal to Farnan.”

O’Donnell’s draft of 14 lots grossed a vendor-high of $1.55 million on Tuesday led by the Harry Angel (Dark Angel) half-brother to Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Hayasugi (Royal Meeting).

Stefan Pardi led Tuesday’s turnover ($830,000) with three lots overshadowed by the Shinzo - Special Lover (Pins) filly (Lot 43) that was knocked down for $600,000. 

“It was more than I expected to pay but she was my pick of the sale,’’ Pardi said of Lot 43. “I will take her home and come back for the 2027 Easter Yearling Sale.”

Pardi also rated his Zousain buy very highly and he was a man on a mission on Wednesday.

“She’s a queen with a beautiful page and is an end-buy to race before we begin her breeding cycle,” he added.

Noorilim Park returned serve on Wednesday with a Maurice (Screen Hero) colt (Lot 349) following their top-priced Shinzo filly from Special Lover on Day 1.  

The Maurice colt out of Lankan Gold (Dundeel) was purchased by Byerley Bloodstock’s Liam Peters for $260,000 acting for his grandfather – leading Perth owner-breeder Bob Peters.

The colt is a full-brother to Classic Gem who is rated the best maiden galloper in Australia on the back of a three-quarter length second in the MRC Alexandra Stakes (Gr 3, 1600m) at Caulfield in March and fourths in the Australian Oaks (Gr 1, 2400m) and Victorian Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m).

Flemington trainer Dom Sutton has nominated Classic Gem for the Queensland Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) and Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2200m) at the Brisbane winter carnival. 

“Her little brother didn’t put a foot wrong prepping for the Foal Sale,” Noorilim Park’s Glen Carrick reported.

“He’s well put together with plenty of substance and he’s a lovely mover with strong forearms and hindquarters."

Davali Thoroughbreds owners David and Alison Hush were on the mark with a King’s Gambit (I Am Invincible) - Karavali (Nadeem) colt (Lot 327) that caught the eye and lightened the pocket of Jim Carey to the tune of $265,000.

He was the top-priced first-crop foal by King’s Gambit and was bred in partnership by Randwick Bloodstock’s Brett Howard. The mare was purchased carrying the King’s Gambit colt and she’s back in foal to the Newgate Farm sire.

Davali has enjoyed a winning season with Revengeance (Hellbent) winning the $1 million Golden Gift (1100m) at Rosehill in November. They also sold her Exceedance (Exceed And Excel) half-sister for $160,000 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in February.

Meanwhile, Denbrook Thoroughbreds director Kate Curran achieved an exhilarating first ever sale in the vendors box on Wednesday when her Benbatl (Dubawi) colt (Lot 304) made $100,000 to the bid of Victorian-based Ahead All Bloodstock

“It’s a dream. I’m over the moon,” an emotional Curran said after the sale. “We only started the farm last year and it’s an amazing result. He’s been a fantastic colt from Day 1 and we only had a $40,000 reserve on him.”

Inglis reported across the board records for gross, average and median at the two-day Australian Weanling Sale.

There were year-on-year increases on lots sold for both $100,000-plus (58) and $200,000-plus (21), while the average ($66,547) and median ($40,000) were both sale records and up 22 per cent and 33 per cent respectively year-on-year.

The current gross of $19,498,250 is also a record for the Australian Weanling Sale.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch was thrilled with how the sale had played out over the past two days.

“As a team we have worked incredibly hard over the past five years especially to ensure new life was breathed into this sale and to see it perform the way that it has over the past two days is extremely satisfying, especially considering we offered 85 less weanlings than last year,’’ Hutch said.

“We asked breeders and vendors to support the sale with more quality and they have responded, so credit must go to them, we are incredibly grateful for their patronage and I’m so pleased to see the buying bench get behind the catalogue with such vigour and participate so strongly.”

The Inglis Breeding Stock Sales Series reaches a crescendo on Thursday evening with The Chairman’s Sale, where 115 lots are catalogued for what is set to be another memorable night of selling.

Morning Briefing

Australia

Six for Stay Inside

Newgate Farm’s first-season sire Stay Inside (Extreme Choice) chalked up his sixth individual winner on Wednesday when the Tom Charlton-trained Lord Horatio (2 c ex Murchison by More Than Ready) made a winning debut at Warwick Farm. Ridden by Dylan Gibbons, the juvenile colt defeated Portico (Exceed And Excel) by 0.7 lengths with a further 0.3 lengths back to Celtic Spy (Farnan) in third. “Credit to the horse, he's obviously got a good level of ability to do that on debut," Charlton said. “Big, gross, horse and there'll be improvement. You think going forward. And he's not just a two-year-old type we feel. Full credit to the whole staff and everyone who's educated him throughout the whole process." Charlton revealed that the gelding could be set for a crack at the $1 million Magic Millions National 2YO Classic (1000m) at the Gold Coast on May 18. “I don't see any reason why we need to stop,” Charlton said. “There is a valuable Magic Millions race in two or three weeks, three weeks I think, that we can consider. But I think I saw a good two-year-old win on Saturday that might be heading that way. So these are all good problems to have.” Purchased for $300,000 by O'Shea-Charlton Racing, James Bester Bloodstock and Eric Lucas from the Highgrove Stud draft at the 2025 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Lord Horatio is the first winner out of the More Than Ready (Southern Halo) mare Murchison, herself a half-sister to Coolmore Classic (Gr 1, 1500m) winner Steps In Time (Danehill Dancer). Stay Inside will stand the 2026 breeding season at an unchanged fee of $66,000 (inc GST).

31 for Nicconi

Widden Stud stallion Nicconi (Bianconi) sired his 31st individual stakes winner when Oliveanotherday (3 g ex Olive by All Too Hard) took out Wednesday’s Wangoom Handicap (Listed, 1200m) at Warrnambool. Handling the Heavy 9 conditions well, the three-year-old gelding defeated Immortal Star (I Am Immortal) by 2.5 lengths under Harry Coffey, with a narrow margin back to Great Maximus (Magnus) in third place. "We've known from early days that he had a stack of ability and he keeps on improving," trainer Tom Dabernig told Racing.com. "I felt being a locally trained horse and with the Wangoom the main sprint of the Carnival, I wanted to be a part of it. I've been lucky enough to train a lot of decent horses and have some big race wins, but I was feeling the pressure coming into this with a three-year-old in the race. But that's what good horses do, they're just better than the opposition and hopefully we can keep him progressing and there's another couple of decent wins in him." A homebred for co-owner Andrew Harrison, Oliveforanotherday has won five of seven starts and was making it four consecutive victories on Wednesday. He is the first foal out of the All Too Hard (Casino Prince) mare Olive, herself a half-sister to Group 3 winner Stirling Grove (Mossman). Nicconi will stand the 2026 breeding season for an unchanged fee of $13,200 (inc GST).

Vale Spirit Of Boom

Spirit Of Boom (Credit: Eureka Stud)

Champion Queensland stallion Spirit Of Boom (Sequalo) has died unexpectedly at the age of 18, Eureka Stud announced on Wednesday.

Having been set to enter his 13th season at Eureka, the son of Sequalo (Rustic Amber) was found dead in his paddock on Wednesday morning from a suspected ruptured bowel.

Bred by the McAlpines at Eureka, Spirit Of Boom was a Listed winner as a juvenile on the track and would go on to land two Group 1 wins in the William Reid Stakes (1200m) and Doomben 10,000 (1400m) for trainer Tony Gollan, racing until he was a six-year-old.

He finished his career as the winner of nine races, with a further 20 minor placings from 52 starts and over $2.4 million in prize-money.

As a stallion, the son of Sequalo was crowned the Champion Queensland Sire four times and has sired 32 individual stakes winners to date – including Group 1 winner Jonker.

“For the team at Eureka Stud, this is not only the loss of an elite stallion, but of a horse who helped shape the farm's identity and rise within the Australian breeding industry," a statement from Eureka read.

“On the racetrack, Spirit Of Boom was the ultimate competitor. Precocious enough to win the Listed Ken Russell Memorial Classic as a juvenile, he trained on with remarkable durability and toughness to reach the pinnacle later in life, capturing two Group 1 victories as a six-year-old. His longevity, soundness and will to compete created countless memories for his connections and for trainer Tony Gollan, who guided him throughout his outstanding career.

“Beyond the statistics, Spirit Of Boom was a horse with enormous presence and personality, adored by everyone who worked with him daily. He gave owners, breeders, trainers and racing fans unforgettable moments and helped elevate Queensland breeding onto the national stage.

“While his loss leaves a tremendous void, his legacy will live on through his sons and daughters, both on the racetrack and at stud. Fittingly, his Group 1-winning son Jonker will return to Eureka this coming season, ensuring the Spirit of Boom story continues for generations to come.”

Meanwhile, Gollan also posted a statement via X, saying: “Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of stable legend Spirit Of Boom.

“A truly remarkable racehorse, his wins included the Gr 1 William Reid and Doomben 10,000 in a career that spanned success from a 2YO to 6YO. Words cannot describe the impact that he has had on our stable. RIP.”

Ryan chasing another Warrnambool Cup

Trainer Patrick Ryan will be bidding to land another Warrnambool Cup (Listed, 2350m) on Thursday when Ferago (Fiorente) has his third crack at the staying feature. Ryan won the first Warrnambool Cup after it achieved Listed race status in 2008 with Video Star (Quest For Fame), and Ferago will bid to improve on his fourth-place finishes in the last two runnings of the 2350-metre contest. "It's always good to win the local Cup," Ryan said. "The first one was when my cousin [Sam Hyland] rode it, so that will always be special, while this bloke has run fourth in the past two years, so it would be good if he could go a few spots better. He probably deserves a win in one of these sorts of races. He's run plenty of top fours, like in a Geelong Cup, twice in this, second in a Sandown Cup, third in a Herbert Power, so it would be nice if he could win one before he retires. He's a real wet-tracker and the tracks have been too firm, so we decided instead of racing him on the firm tracks we would give him some hurdle trials to build his fitness with an eye of giving him a few hurdle runs later in the year. His flat form has been too good for going over the jumps. He's won $625,000 since we've had him and so long as he kept performing on the flat, we stayed away from the jumps, but he's rising ten now, and if he continues, he'll probably go jumping and mix it up on the flat."

Proud Miss task for Aviatress

Aviatress (Smart Missile) may have missed a start in the Robert Sangster Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m), but the Richard and Chantelle Jolly-trained mare will line up in Saturday's Proud Miss Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) at Morphettville. The five-year-old mare, who has been entered for the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale at the Gold Coast this month, will be having her farewell start for connections after a slight setback on the eve of the Robert Sangster on April 25 put an end to aspirations of running in The Goodwood (Gr 1, 1200m) on Saturday. "She pulled up sore in a foot after galloping on the Tuesday before the Sangster," Richard Jolly said. "She had a tiny little abscess rear its head but after three or four days she got over it. We galloped her on Saturday morning and we decided not to pursue The Goodwood and instead go to the softer option of the Proud Miss. After that she heads up to the Gold Coast to go through the mare's sale. Saturday will be her last run for us, and she will be sold. It will be up to the new owners to decide what they want to do as she's still got racing in her if they want to go that way."

Grylls to partner Single Red in Bracelet

Champion jockey Craig Grylls will take time out from domestic duties to continue his successful association with Single Red (Vanbrugh) this weekend. The 36-year-old has ridden the filly in two of her three wins and jumped at the chance to partner the Andrew Forsman-trained three-year-old in her Australian debut in Saturday’s Gold Coast Bracelet (Listed, 1800m). “I’m pretty lucky to be given the opportunity by Andrew and OTI Racing, they could have easily put on a local jockey, so I’m really stoked and appreciative,” Grylls said. The daughter of Vanbrugh (Encosta De Lago) confirmed her trip to Queensland with a last start victory at Te Rapa where she accounted for her age group rivals with authority. “Off a freshen up, I had to work a bit to cross them. She switched off once she got there and put them away pretty convincingly,” Grylls said. “The step up in trip from the mile the other day, when she was very good, to 1800 metres on Saturday should be ideal for her.” All going well, she will run two weeks later in The Roses (Gr 2, 2000m) and then the Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2200m) a fortnight after, but at this stage Grylls is only booked for the Bracelet ride. “I’ll just take it step by step and see what the connections want to do,” he said.

Pride hopeful with Kerguelen in Takeover Target

Warwick Farm-based trainer Joe Pride is hoping there can be a big effort in Godolphin sprinter Kerguelen (Lonhro) on Saturday. The five-year-old gelding will be seeking a first stakes success when he lines up in the Takeover Target Stakes (Listed, 1200m) at Gosford, a race that Pride has an excellent record in. Pride has won the Listed sprint five times with Title (Honours List) (2012), See The World (Danzero) (2013), Ball Of Muscle (Dubawi) (2015), Kuro (Denman) (2017) and Think About It (So You Think) in 2023. “He’s won the three races for us in a short amount of time,’’ Pride told Racing NSW of Kerguelen. “He’s quickly shaping up as a horse that has Group and Listed potential, there’s no doubt about that, we’ve already run him in a couple of nice races and we’re yet to see the best of him. I think that’s to come and that’s an exciting prospect given what he’s already done. It’s nice to see him draw a gate [barrier two], he doesn’t always jump the cleanest but if he does that’s absolutely ideal. The horse is great, I’m really happy with him, he’s ticking over nicely. He’s going to the races in terrific shape, closing in on peak fitness now, with a trip to Brisbane for an assignment on the cards if he can do what I think he will do. I think he will enjoy a good solid tempo, which he doesn’t always get in his races, and if he gets that no doubt he will be firing at the end.”

Waller to have trio of runners in The Coast

Champion trainer Chris Waller will field a hand of three in Saturday's The Coast (1600m) at Gosford. Last-start Benchmark 94 (1800m) winner Rotagilla (All Too Hard) will be aimed at gaining a share of the $500,000 on offer in prize-money for this weekend's contest. "Timing wise, he has been racing when the carnivals have been on, and we've just taken him through his grades. We haven't had to run him in Listed races until now," Waller said. "He has got better every preparation, and second-up he was good. He won with authority. He is a genuine Listed, Group 3 type of horse and he gets his chance for massive prize-money." Joining Rotagilla will be Lord Penman (Contributer), who has form at a high level including when runner-up to Group 1 winner Linebacker (Super Seth) in the Silver Eagle (1300m) last spring and a third placing in the Doncaster Prelude (Gr 3, 1500m) two starts ago. "He's been disappointing this 'prep'. He is working really well at home, but he's not doing it on race day," Waller said. "I watched his last replay a few times, and I thought the last 100 metres of his race was a bit better than I initially thought, so he might be looking for a strong mile." Former European Sir Dinadan (Camelot) rounds out Waller's trio squad for The Coast, and he finished runner-up to Rotagilla last start – just his second appearance in Australia. "We are talking about Rotagilla as a good chance, and this horse is ready to peak now," Waller said. "He has had a couple of runs in Australia and he's a decent horse. He ran in some 2400-metre races in the UK, but I actually think he's got a bit of speed, and he showed that last start. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the three won. Lord Penman needs to improve, but I know he's got the ability, Rotagilla has got that sense of winning, but Sir Dinadan could end up the best of the three."

Warwick Farm pair bound for Queensland

Juvenile pair Uncertain Glory (Zoustar) and La Barrita (St Mark’s Basilica) could be set for Queensland tasks after they made their respective debuts at Warwick Farm on Wednesday - with varying degrees of fortune. The Michael Freedman-trained Uncertain Glory scored on her debut in the Ranvet Plate (1000m) by a half-length over Palmanova (Tassort), with a narrow margin back to La Barrita in third place. "The biggest query today was the 1000 metres. She will be better at 1100 and 1200 [metres]," winning rider Tommy Berry said. "She was just a bit impatient in the gates. She was the same at the trials and she's not pinging the barriers, but she has got good speed after that. She got a little bit lost at the furlong, but I loved that when Kerrin McEvoy's filly [La Barrita] came to her outside, she really knuckled down late." Freedman's stable representative, Sophie Johnson, confirmed the filly could be headed for Queensland. "He's [Freedman] got a couple of options and her owner is here and he's quite keen on the idea of going to Queensland," Johnson said. Meanwhile, Tony and Calvin McEvoy brought La Barrita up from Victoria for Wednesday's race and were upbeat in defeat. "She did everything but win," Calvin McEvoy said. "She made a couple of mistakes and from a wide barrier, it was always going to be tough if she didn't fly the gates. We wanted to come here as a bit of a fact finding mission, hoping she could win and get the prize-money for the $1 million Magic Millions race. That's going to be a bit difficult now, but she is a filly that is going to love 1200 and 1400 metres. It's all a bit open now, but we are going to go to Queensland."

Accidental Bid to take on Rough Habit Plate

Having failed to make the final field in last weekend's South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m), the Ciaron Maher-trained Accidental Bid (Phoenix Of Spain) will be re-routed to the Rough Habit Plate (Gr 3, 2000m) at Doomben on May 16. The UK import was the early favourite for last Saturday’s Group 1, but was an emergency for the race and never gained a start, having only won a maiden and a Benchmark 62 (2000m) to date from four starts. “It was disappointing,” Maher told Racing.com. “The conditions and everything would have suited him down to the ground, but it is what it is. He will head up north to the Rough Habit and then on to the Queensland Derby, all going well. Every race or piece of work he does, he just seems to keep improving. He’s that progressive type and I think as the races get longer, he’ll only get better.”

Connections hoping for further success with Rochello

Sally McKay and her racing partners are hoping for further celebrations from their remaining time with genuine performer Rochello (Highly Recommended). The Ascot Park trainer is among the ownership group behind the daughter of Highly Recommended (Fastnet Rock) who has been in fine form ahead of Friday’s Riverton Rural Transport/Riverton Butchery Handicap (1200m). “She’s racing really well, the best of her career really and it’s just a shame as our lease runs out at the end of the season,” McKay said. “We’re only looking at Friday and maybe a run at Wingatui on May 31 and that’s possibly the end for us. She’s been a lovely horse to train, very genuine and just hitting her straps now.” A six-time winner, Rochello has more recently put together a brace of victories and two placings from her last four appearances in the hands of Brett Murray who will again take the reins and has been instrumental in her run of success. “She used to be quite a hard going mare, she’d pull like hell and leave herself as a sitting duck before she learned to settle,” McKay said. “A lot of that comes down to Brett who has really clicked with her this season and now she might be on the pace but isn’t as aggressive as she originally was and she’s going terrific.”

72 for Camelot

Coolmore’s former shuttler Camelot (Montjeu) sired his 72nd individual stakes winner on Wednesday when the Aidan O’Brien-trained Amelia Earhart (3 f ex Venus De Milo by Duke Of Marmalade) landed the Cheshire Oaks (Listed, 1m 3.5f) at Chester. Ridden by Ryan Moore, the filly hit the front entering the final furlong and stayed on well to beat I’m The One (Sea The Stars) by two lengths. A La Prochaine (Lope De Vega) finished a further length and a quarter away in third. Bred and raced by Coolmore, Amelia Earhart is a sister to Moonee Valley Gold Cup (Gr 2, 2500m) winner Cleveland being the seventh foal out of the Group 3-winning mare Venus De Milo (Duke Of Marmalade). Following Wednesday’s race, Amelia Earhart was shortened into a best-priced 5-1 favourite for next month’s Epsom Oaks (Gr 1, 1m 4f), a race that her stablemate Minnie Hauk (Frankel) took out last year after her win in the Cheshire Oaks. Camelot, who shuttled to Coolmore Australia for one season in 2014, is standing at Coolmore Stud in Ireland for a fee of €60,000 (approx. AU$97,480).

UK: Benvenuto Cellini stamps home Derby favouritism in Chester Vase

In winning a 12th career Chester Vase (Gr 3, 1m 4.5f), trainer Aidan O’Brien looks to have good claims of landing another Epsom Derby (Gr 1, 1m 4f) with Benvenuto Cellini (3 c Frankel - Newspaperofrecord by Lope De Vega) taking out Wednesday’s Group 3 contest in convincing style. Ridden by Ryan Moore, who was also landing his eighth win in the Group 3 event, the son of Frankel (Galileo) travelled well throughout and, once asked to go and win the race, picked up his front-running stablemate Proposition (Frankel) with ease and cleared away to score by four and a quarter lengths. There was a further length and three-quarters back to Mr Colonel (Frankel) in third. Following Wednesday’s victory, Benvenuto Cellini was shorted into a best-priced 7-2 market leader for next month’s Epsom Derby. Interestingly, every Chester Vase winner between 2016 and 2022 ended up in Australia, with the most notable being Sir Dragonet (Camelot) who would go on to land the 2020 Cox Plate (Gr 1, 2040m) and 2021 Tancred Stakes (Gr 1, 2400m) and recent Sydney Cup (Gr 1, 2300m) winner Changingoftheguard (Galileo).

104 for Kodiac

Tally-Ho Stud stallion Kodiac (Danehill) chalked up his 104th individual stakes winner when Sindria (4 f ex Miss Liguria by Galileo) ran out a convincing winner of Tuesday’s Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes (Listed, 1m 1.5f) at Gowran Park. Ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle for trainer Joseph O’Brien, the four-year-old filly was ridden to lead with a furlong left to run and kept on well to beat Lemsairbat (Bated Breath) by two and a quarter lengths. There was a further half-length back to Subsonic (Lope De Vega) in third place. Closely related to winner Chelsea Square (Exceed And Excel), Sindria is the third foal out of the Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) mare Miss Liguria, herself a half-sister to Listed winners Miss Cap Estel (Hernando) and St Jean Cap Ferrat (Domedriver). Kodiac is standing for a fee of €20,000 (approx. AU$32,490).

@ANZ_News

Wigmore (Sweynesse) put another cast-iron case forward for the New Zealand stayer in winning Saturday’s South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2500m), while again proving age-old theories about repeating quality mares.

He only just scraped into the field as the final horse qualified. As a $41 chance he ostensibly did a huge favour for the rest of the field by keeping out the first emergency, British import Accidental Bid (Phoenix Of Spain), by a matter of only a few grand in prize money.

Wigmore had won $58,773, having had the first six of his eight runs in New Zealand, for a win and two placings, and $40,000 of that came in one hit with his fourth in the NZ Derby (Gr 1, 2400m).

Accidental Bid, who’d had his first two starts in England before two wins at Pakenham, had made $50,247. They may breed them tough in New Zealand and England, but earning enough prize money there to help qualify for the Australian Group 1 Classics can be tricky.

In any case, Accidental Bid, who was $3 favourite, had to take his bat and ball and go home. Wigmore, relishing the rain like a self-respecting Kiwi, travelled strongly near the pace and steamed home to win, narrowly but toughly.

His trainer Phillip Stokes said he could become a Melbourne Cup (Gr 1, 3,200m) horse. Whether he does or not, he’s already a walking vote of confidence in the New Zealand staying breed, and in the modus operandi of Terry Henderson.

Time and again, OTI Racing, never shy of tried stock, has sourced horses that have shown ability in New Zealand, whether in races, trials or breeze-ups.

I’m Thunderstruck (Shocking), Warmonger (War Decree), Vin De Dance (Roc De Cambes) and Quick Thinker (So You Think) are some of OTI’s G1 winners who fit that description.

The group hasn’t been shy of buying European stayers, of course, but the OTI ROI from merely popping next door to the shops has been profound. Wigmore, bought by Henderson’s team after the NZ Derby, is the latest prime example.The strategy is enthusiastically espoused by Luigi Muollo, principal at Novara Park - which stands the gelding’s sire Sweynesse (Lonhro) - and which sold Vin De Dance (Roc De Cambes) to OTI.

“I scratch my head on the European thing,” Muollo told It’s In The Blood.

“If you can buy tried New Zealand three-year-olds, who are Derby horses and carry on winning as four- and five-year-olds, and they’ve got that $5,000 or $6,000 airfare compared to the European one, and they don’t have to adjust and acclimatise so much - New Zealand horses provide good bread and butter.

“And you’ve seen the Kiwi dollar to the Aussie dollar, right? It’s not exactly like the British pound or the euro to the Aussie dollar.

“When you can buy a tried NZ three-year-old for respectable money with the exchange rate, you can take them straight over to Australia and make some money.

“I really commend Terry Henderson for what he’s achieved.”

It’s true that European-breds have dominated the Melbourne Cup this century. In the 15 runnings since 2010, ten winners have been bred in Europe. New Zealand has produced two and Australia three.

But before the Europeans arrived - either as imports older than three or Cup raiders - in Australia’s major Derbies, it was a different picture.

Australian-breds have won nine of the past ten editions of the only pre-Christmas Derby, the VRC Derby (Gr 1, 2500m). But later in the season the tide turns the way of many, perhaps slower-maturing, New Zealanders.

Kiwi-breds have won eight of the past 16 editions of the Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400m), in early April. In the next such Classic on the calendar - the South Australian Derby (Gr 1, 2400m)  - they’ve now won four of the past six. And in the last Derby of the season - the Queensland Derby (Gr 1, 2400m) - they’re on a five-year winning streak.

Wigmore is the latest to fly the flag that’s not quite the Australian flag over this side of the Tasman.

To be fair, his pedigree isn’t all that New Zealanderish. There must just be something in the water over there that makes horses want to keep going. Or the limestone-rich soil, as the ads say.

Sweynesse was born and bred in Australia, where he won two Group 3 races and was placed in the Randwick Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) and the Spring Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m).

And in fact, of the 62 names in Wigmore’s first five generations, only five carry the (NZ) suffix. What’s more, they all feed into Australian bred Lonhro (Octagonal), Sweynesse’s father.

There is, mind you, a pillar of New Zealand breeding in a pivotal position in the Irish-bred Sir Tristram (Sir Ivor), who appears as the fifth sire in Wigmore’s direct male line through Zabeel, Octagonal, Lonhro and Sweynesse.

But mostly this is an American pedigree, especially on the maternal side. In total, 37 of those first 62 names carry the (USA) suffix, including all but two of the 31 in the bottom half.

This includes Wigmore’s dam Del Mondo (More Than Ready), who was born in the US but came with the package when John and Karlene Murdoch - now Wigmore’s breeders - bought her unraced dam Wildcat Woman (Forest Wildcat), who was carrying first foal Del Mondo at the time.

There was, the now 86-year-old John Murdoch recalls, some luck involved in that purchase out of Keeneland in 2007, via New Zealand agent Robert Dawe.

“I was looking for a couple of American mares,” Murdoch tells It’s In The Blood. “Rob bought me one, then he bought Wildcat Woman for a Japanese buyer, for $US125,000.

“Next day he rings me back and said the Japanese bloke had got in trouble from his wife, and would I like the mare.”

Murdoch - a retired builder who constructed New Zealand’s first Harvey Norman store for his now friend and fellow octogenarian breeder Gerry Harvey - didn’t need much convincing.

For in an international twist, Wildcat Woman’s dam was the other one of the three Australian horses in Wigmore’s entire pedigree - along with Lonhro and Sweynesse - and she was outstanding: Arborea (Imperial Prince). More on her later.

The Murdochs initially didn’t find much return on that investment. Wildcat Woman has had four winners from 10 runners (but might be covered for the last time this spring, aged 22). Del Mondo was one winner, but only in a 1950m maiden at Rotorua.

But at stud, Del Mondo has deployed her impressive foreign bloodlines to great effect.

Of course, Sweynesse - who has a fair 4.4 per cent stakes winners to runners ratio and has Murdoch as a stakeholder - has been best represented by champion Hong Kong sprinter Lucky Sweynesse.

While Sweynesse - best represented by champion Hong Kong sprinter Lucky Sweynesse, his only elite winner before Wigmore, it’s a fair assertion that Del Mondo brought most of Wigmore’s staying blood. Her first foal won at 3500 metres, after all.

He was Mondorani (Burgundy), and while he was by a sprinting sire, he won the New Zealand Cup (Gr 3, 3200m) before switching to the jumps and taking that 3500m maiden steeplechase at Rotorua, on a heavy 10.

Wigmore has now provided Del Mondo with a second stakes winner from just four runners - also including Brisbane city winner Ferino (Tarzino) - as well as bringing an overjoyed Murdoch his first elite success from 40 years of breeding.

While Wildcat Woman (Forest Wildcat) was unraced, her mother and Wigmore’s third dam Arborea brought exquisite quality and stamina. She’s one of only two non-Americans in the maternal half of Wigmore’s pedigree, and the only non-USA mare among 13 on Wigmore's female line, stretching back to 1894.

Trained by Clarry Conners, Arborea (Imperial Prince) won the rare double of Caulfield’s Thousand Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) and the VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m), and four other stakes races.

In an intriguing breeding career, she struck gold with her first foal in Delta Form (Marscay), who went to South Africa as a yearling, won six races including a 1900 metre Listed race, then went to the US where she won a 2200 metre Group 2 at Del Mar, and ran third in back-to-back 2400m Group 1s, in 2002.

Meanwhile, Arborea had been deemed good enough to have been exported to the US, in 1999. There, she had seven foals - including the eventually NZ-bound Wildcat Woman - but only one city winner. Arborea was returned to Australia in 2006, where she had one city victor from five more foals.

She ended with eight winners from 11 runners. None were nearly as good as her first, Delta Form, but Arborea’s strong influence was shown in the fact she left the dams of four stakes winners: two in Australia, one in South Africa, and another in deepest, darkest Peru, where Szumul (Showing Up) was in fact that country’s Champion turf male of 2013-14.

In turn, Arborea was the first foal of a quality American-bred mare in Open Question (Alleged), who had 10 winners from as many Australian runners including two more stakes victors in Group 2 winners Paris Dream (Personal Hope) and Binding (Belong To Me).

Back - finally - to that initial point about repeating quality mares.

One point about Wigmore’s pedigree is that the ubiquitous Natalma (Native Dancer) appears only four times, all through her most famous son Northern Dancer. But there’s strength coming from other blue hens.

One with strong influence is American mare Somethingroyal (Princequillo), who’s in important places at 8m, 6m x 7m, 7m, neatly balanced with her two famed sons Sir Gaylord (Turn To) and Secretariat (Bold Ruler) holding one spot each in both halves.

Sir Gaylord kicks off Wigmore’s modern paternal as his seventh sire (Sir Tristram’s grandsire), while in the bottom half he’s Arborea’s third sire.

And Secretariat contributes two daughters - significant since he was a far better broodmare sire than sire. Fantastic Ways is Sweynesse’s third dam, while down below Secretariat is the damsire of Storm Cat (Storm Bird), Wildcat Woman’s grandsire.

The great French mare La Troienne (Teddy) appears five times, and while they’re back in columns eight and nine there’s a good spread through two daughters and one son, her most influential spot being as the sixth dam of More Than Ready (Southern Halo).

And the wonderful Mumtaz Begum (Blenheim) is the most seen mare overall with 13 appearances - six in the top half including as Octagonal’s sixth dam.

Wigmore also has two bits of juicy inbreeding, both with sires. Halo (Hail To Reason) is at 5f x 4m through his daughter Glorious Song in Sweynesse’s maternal half, and as Del Mondo’s third sire. And Mr. Prospector (Raise A Native) is also there at 5m x 5m, if a little bit buried.

Nearco (Pharos) is the dominant stallion by far with 23 appearances in the first nine generations, ahead of his son Nasrullah with 13.
