Christmas Stakes Catalogue Updates Aplenty

Breednet - Monday December 29

The last week of Christmas racing has been as busy as usual and thrown up plenty of black type updates, including five new stakes winners, for upcoming yearling sale.

They include Gosford Guineas winner, Caffe Florian, which became the third stakes winner for her dam, Madam Andree, along with Anders and Ostraka, while she has also left the dam of current top three-year-old Skyhook.

Madam Andree has a full sister to Caffe Florian heading to the Magic Millions with Arrowfield Stud.
