Metro Winner for Stratum Star

Tara Madgwick - Saturday December 10

Widden Stud’s value sire Stratum Star has a growing list of winners and among them is progressive mare Edna, who made it back-to-back wins at Canterbury when scoring on Friday evening.

Trained by Craig Carmody and ridden by Kathy O’Hara, Edna posted an easy length and a half win in the Benchmark 72 event over 1100m.

Edna has done nothing but improve this preparation and has won three of her past four starts with her overall record now three wins and four placings from 10 starts with prizemoney just shy of $100,000.

Retained to race in partnership by her breeder Kim Harding, Edna is the second winner from Dame Elisabeth, a half-sister by Elusive Quality (USA) to stakes-winner Tommifrancs.

Dame Elisabeth has foaled this spring to another of the Widden sires producing a colt by Supido.

Stratum Star

A dual Group I winning son of Stratum, Stratum Star has had 18 winners this season from just 47 runners so is doing a good job for his supporters.

Stratum Star stands at the value fee of $5,500.

Sires With Winners - Wednesday May 8
Here is the full list of 45 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.
Resolute Racing Secure Tutta La Vita for $3.2million
Three times Group I placed, The Autumn Sun filly Tutta La Vita will be looking to improve on that in the upcoming Group I BRC Queensland Oaks next month, but she’ll be carrying a new set of colours after being purchased by John Stewart’s Resolute Racing for $3.2million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale.
$1.6million for G2 winner Autumn Ballet
With three recent Group I winning three year-old fillies, The Autumn Sun is a sire on the up and his Group II winning daughter Autumn Ballet proved a hot commodity at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale selling for $1.6million to the bid of Tom Magnier.
Tom Magnier Pays $3.4million for She’s Extreme
A Group I winner of the ATC Champagne Stakes (1600m) at two and then a Group I VRC Oaks (2500m) winner at three, She’s Extreme was extremely good and that’s why she sparked a protracted bidding duel at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale before Tom Magnier won the day with a final bid of $3.4million.
Dual Oaks Winner Sells for $1.6million, Star Producer for $1.15million
It’s rare enough for any filly to win more than one G1 Oaks event and rarer still for them to be offered at public auction, so the appearance of Satono Aladdin (Jpn) mare Pennyweka (NZ) at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale produced some fiscal fireworks before she was knocked down to Panthalassa Syndicate (Yulong) for $1.6million.
Widden Pounce for $1.15million G1 Winner Startantes
The Robert Heathcote stable have had a lot of success with the progeny of top producer Funtantes and the best of her four winners is Group I Tatts Tiara winner Startantes, who was snapped up by Widden Stud for $1.15million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale on Thursday.
