Sires With Winners - Friday April 12

Here is the full list of 88 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

A narrow third in the G3 Quezette Stakes in August, the Mark and Levi Kavanagh-trained Peltzer filly Thanks Gorgeous was a class above her rivals at Mornington on New Year’s Day, pulling clear to break her maiden in impressive fashion.

Queensland based Snitzel stallion Dracarys sired his second stakes-winner on New Year’s Day when talented gelding Storm Rider won the Group III Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1400m) at Sha Tin.

While he may forever race in the shadow of his half-brother and $12.8m earner Private Eye, the Joe Pride trained Shalaa gelding King’s Secret stepped up to black type racing for the first time in his career, winning the Listed Canterbury Sprint (1200m) on New Year’s day.

There were four heats won by juveniles at Rosehill on Friday morning and the winners included Group III ATC Breeders Plate winner Incognito, who has a half-sister headed to MM 2026.

Trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson are hoping Towering Vision’s win in the Eagle Technology 1600 at Ellerslie on New Year’s Day is a good omen as they look towards the Gr.1 Trackside New Zealand Derby (2400m) in March with the progressive three-year-old.

If you love racing, there are few better ways to kick off a New Year than to be amidst a big and happy Ascot crowd on a summery Perth afternoon, watching the field go down to the start for The Cup!.

Stakes racing aplenty over the next two days as we celebrate the end of 2025 and move forwards into 2026 with Black Type racing at Flemington, Canterbury, Ascot, Ellerslie and Sha Tin over the next two days.

It’s the first day of a brand new year and the first season sires list looks like this with Home Affairs on top from a pair of Extreme Choice sons in Extreme Warrior and Stay Inside, but what’s in the pipeline in terms of unraced talent for this cohort of sires?

Closely related to NZ Horse of the Year Jimmy Choux, promising staying filly Ohope Wins chose the best possible moment to break her maiden status when she powered home to take out the Gr.2 Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie.
