Sires With Winners - Thursday June 12

I am someone that lives their life in a horse obsessed bubble. I can tell you anything you want to know about racing and thoroughbreds, but as to what happens in the wider world, I’m happy to leave others to commentate on that, but not in this case.

Irish bred Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior produced a crowd pleasing victory in the Group I HK International Cup (2000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday, capturing this iconic race for a history making fourth time in a row.

For more than a century, Australia’s thoroughbred sales revolved around polished auction rings, bustling sale grounds, and agents hunting for future champions.

It was a Kiwi bred first four in the G1 Hong Kong International Sprint (1200m) on Sunday with raging hot favourite Ka Ying Rising extending his unbeaten sequence to 16 wins as fans and punters expected.

The big ones at Sha Tin kicked off on International Day with the Group I HK International Vase (2400m) for the stayers and in a year when the French have been on fire all around the world it was French trained Sea the Stars stallion Sosie that took the prize.

It wasn't just about the winner of the $400,000 Inglis Nursery with a Pink Bonus collected and a Best Turned Out award also presented on the race won by Inglis Digital purchase Where's the Circus.

Here is the full list of 58 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

Cranbourne trainer Gavin Bedggood will spend Christmas on this side of the Tasman as he prepares his Group Three winner Kingswood for Group One action at Ellerslie on Boxing Day.

A huge field lines up for a great rendition of the $2million G2 Ingham, and I'm going with an upset result and a trifecta that might pay for some Christmas treats!
