Alabama Express posted a new stakes-winner at Riccarton on Saturday with Discretion Rules winning the Listed Berkely Stud Champagne  Stakes (1200m) and he now registers as a first stakes-winner for his sire, whose previous first stakes-winner Karavas was disqualified from her win in the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes last spring due to a positive swab.

Zousain has posted his second new winner this week at Cranbourne on Friday evening when the Phillip Stokes trained filly The Dabble Effect scored on debut.
