First Season Sire Watch on Saturday

Tara Madgwick - Friday November 27

First season sires are set to play a role on Saturday with runners around the country including youngsters contesting metropolitan races in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

Capitalist and Frosted (USA), who are setting the pace in the first season sires list by earnings, both have key runners with the latter represented by promising filly The Globe at Moonee Valley.

The Godolphin homebred is having her second start following a good third at Flemington back at the end of September behind General Beau.
