A weekend of winners by our resident sires

The volume of winners by our resident sires on Saturday & Sunday certainly made for a red-letter weekend.

There is plenty of ammunition in the tank for Alpine Eagle, who notched up a trio of on debut winners.

Stepchild (ex Testamarriage), trained by Patrick Payne, won by a decisive 2L at Benella, and Red Rowie (ex Can’t Fight Love) scored at Camperdown over 1400m for Mitchell Freedman.

Rubble ‘N’ Fudd (ex Rustical) put pay to his rivals at Hobart, lunging at the line to win in the concluding stages for John Blacker.

Our G1 sire Needs Further gave his barn mate a run for his money at Hobart, bringing up a double, with Aruma (ex Twilight Belle), trained by Barry Campbell, taking the win with Alpine Eagle’s Spring Eagle, a very close second.

Sold through our MM Tasmanian Yearling Sale draft in 2022, Perola (ex Genuine Blonde) delivered a tidy win for trainer John Blacker.

It was a successful weekend that finished on a high in Race 7 when Alvarinho, the 4yo mare by our trusty stalwart sire Tough Speed took the win for Imogen Miller.

Congratulations to their winning connections, certainly one for the books!
