Sires With Winners - Sunday October 11

As I return from yet another visit to the QLD Magic Million sales, it occurred to me that it has been too long since I shared my insights as to what a new industry player should be mindful of, tax wise, before they commence a horse breeding and/or racing business.

The 2026 Magic Millions Yearling Sale was highlighted by 15 yearlings that sold for $1million or more which was two more than last year when just 13 hit the magic mark, but still considerably down on 2024 which saw 23 millionaires sold following on from 20 in 2023.

Here is the full list of 50 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Haunui Farm Managing Director Mark Chitty is eagerly looking forward to Karaka 2026 for a multitude of reasons.

With a global reputation built up through 100 years of high-quality graduates, there should be no shortage of reasons for buyers to flock to Karaka later this month for the NZB National Yearling Sale. But if anyone needs any extra convincing, there are some lucrative incentives to make it well worth getting involved during Karaka 2026.

Ask any sportsman and it’s all about the personal best and for the following list of stallions, they all achieved their best ever yearling sale result at the super strong Magic Millions Yearling Sale last week.

A Group I winning son of champion sire Deep Field, Widden Stud’s Portland Sky put his first winner on the board at Ascot on Saturday with a dominant debut victory for talented filly Daryte, who was purchased by Guy Mulcaster.

Rich Hill Stud’s outstanding resident stallion Proisir has given further timely reminders of his on-track and sales ring prowess.

In years to come when racing trivia nights are held, a question will be - what was the horse champion jockey Jett Newman rode in her first metropolitan race win?  And the answer is our One to Watch.

Trentham has long been Michael and Matthew Pitman’s favourite track, and that sentiment was further enhanced on Saturday after they recorded a memorable double at the Upper Hutt track.
