- English -- The Brisbane Doomben Ten Thousand which was run on Saturday saw the grand mare English for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott finally break through, for another group 1. She always gives a hundred per cent and today it was enough with Redzel setting the pace of the race.English's jockey, Tim Clarke had her positioned to get the run on the fence and when he asked her to go she give plenty and held off the late finish, from Impending. She is one of only a few Encosta De Lago's still racing and a tilt at the 13 million Everest is on the cards.This took Encosta De Lago's progeny to 114 stakes winners with a total of 1136 individual winners.Which includes the champion filly Alinghi, the grey flash Chautauqua,Hong Kong's champ Sacred Kingdom and the promising stallion Manhattan Rain.
- Wanted -- The Fastnet Rock, stallion had his first group one winner on the weekend with Leicester exploding away for an easy win in the SA Derby. The breed are very adaptable to most distances and conditions but with Leicester being out of the Galileo mare Maybe it points to a good staying career for this colt. I have also noticed a strong presence of wet trackers on the dam Fragmentations side with both Snippets and Plush so i would say the sting out of the ground helped Saturday as well.
- Stratum -- Its a shame we lost this promising Redoutes Choice stallion, two years back because over the last couple of seasons he has really stamped himself on some top class horses and on Saturday Tequila Time gave him another group winner. When he dominated the Group 3 SA Sires Produce ridden by Clare Lindop who is going to retire after the Adelaide carnival. The 2yo gelding is out of the Encosta De Lago mare, El Milagro.
- Zoustar -- The first crop stallion Zoustar continues to get group winners and in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes the Chris Waller trained colt, Zousain was given a patient ride by Keiron Mcevoy to record a good win and now a shot at the Group one J.J.Atkins is in sight next month. A race his sire was runner up in, back in 2013.
- Scone -- On the country circuit at Scone we saw another son of Redoutes Choice produce the winner of the Listed Denise's Joy Stakes over 1100m. In Good Time who is by Time Thief kept her record at a perfect six for six when earning her first stakes success. She was ridden by Matthew Cahill for trainer Tracey Bartley and defeated She Knows . "She's very good, I tell everyone she's our Winx," said Bartley. While Moss Trip, the most improved three-year-old filly in training, settled back at the rear of the field in the $400,000 Inglis Guineas at Scone before jockey Brenton Avdulla unleashed her wide out from the 300m and she sprinting past a quality field . The Peter Snowden trained filly is out of the Stratum mare Space Trip.
