The Championships - Sire List Movers and Shakers
Two brilliant Saturday’s of racing at Randwick for The Championships have brought some change to the Australian sires tables, so let’s take a look at some movers and shakers.
Waller Mares Quinella G1 Queen of the Turf
Last year’s winner of the $1million Group I ATC Queen of the Turf Stakes (1600m) was looking to go back to back at Randwick on Saturday, but gallant Savabeel mare Atishu could not quite catch her stablemate Zougotcha with just a short half head separating the pair at the post.
Zoustar Filly Wins $1million G2 Arrowfield Sprint
Last seen winning the $1.5million Group I MRC Thousand Guineas (1600m) back in November, exciting Zoustar filly Joliestar was set a task taking on the colts first up in the $1million Group II ATC Arrowfield Sprint (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday but rose to the challenge.
Two foals born in 1994 for David Moodie's Contract Racing were destined to begin a dynasty that continues to thrive two decades later.
Juvenile Trial Watch – Randwick- $2.6Million Filly Impressive
There were six heats for juveniles at Randwick this morning and some interesting unraced winners including the $2.6million Zoustar filly Clean Energy, a full sister to Champion Filly Sunlight, whose yearling colt by Wootton Bassett (GB) sold for $1.4million at Inglis Easter earlier in the day.
