Churchill Gelding Salutes for Inghams

He might not be the best horse to carry the Ingham cerise colours this season with that honour held by his stablemate Fangirl, but four year-old Churchill (IRE) gelding Robusto has had a fruitful 12 months and capped it with another Saturday win at Rosehill taking out the $160,000 Benchmark 88 event over 1300m.

Nowhere to Hide

As stallions progress through their stud careers we learn more and more about them and a close look at the third season sires table is well worth consideration given the top 10 sires are all standing in either Australia or New Zealand this spring, albeit some not at the farms where they started.

Arc Possible for Churchill Filly Survie

Headed back to Coolmore Australia this spring Churchill (IRE) added a new stakes-winner to his tally in France overnight with quality staying filly Survie taking out the Group II Prix de Malleret (2400m) at Longchamp.

Churchill 3YO Wins Five from Six

The last race at Randwick on Saturday produced a vintage ride from Nash Rawiller, who charted a scenic route after choosing a passage down the outside of the straight for talented Churchill (IRE) three year old gelding South of India, who arrived in plenty of time to win.

Juvenile Quinella for Churchill

Just a week after siring juvenile stakes-winner Imperalist, Coolmore shuttler Churchill (IRE) struck again with his two year-olds siring the quinella at Bendigo on Saturday with the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman trained Hazey Hill opening his account.

Churchill 2YO Wins Listed Phoenix Stakes

Champion trainer Chris Waller and astute bloodstock agent Guy Mulcaster have a happy knack for finding value at Karaka and a Churchill (IRE) colt they purchased from Book 1 last year for $170,000 opened his account at Eagle Farm on Saturday winning the Listed BRC Phoenix Stakes (1500m) at just his third start.
