    • By Kit Gow/TTR AusNZ It was announced on Sunday evening that champion racehorse Winx's colt by four-time champion sire Snitzel will be offered as part of Coolmore Stud's draft at the 2026 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale. The second foal of 25-time Group 1 winner Winx, the colt will walk through the same ring as his older sister Quinceañera (Pierro), who made A$10 million when selling at last year's Easter sale to part-owner Debbie Kepitis. “He's a very handsome boy,” Kepitis said. “Just wait until you see him, he's got everything going for him. From the day he was born, he's been a very charismatic horse. He has been bred to win a Cox Plate and anyone who looks at him tells me that he has all the right physical characteristics to be an elite racehorse.” Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch added, “To have the first male offspring of the mighty Winx coming to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale is an absolute thrill and something we're hugely grateful to the ownership group for. I have been lucky enough to see this colt a number of times through his development. He has always looked like a good horse and I think he is going to present as a very good yearling at the sale. “First and foremost, the objective of the ownership group has been to try and breed the best racehorse possible out of the mare, and I think this colt gives them genuine cause to be very excited. He is a handsome colt with great movement and an unflappable temperament. He's a special sort of horse.” The post Winx’s Snitzel Son to Headline the 2026 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • The Aga Khan Studs operation had not celebrated success in Saint-Cloud's G2 Prix Eugene Adam since Dariyan (Shanardal) saluted in 2015, but rectified matters after the hithero unbeaten Daryz (Sea The Stars) defeated five rivals in Sunday's renewal of the 10-furlong contest. Racing under a firm hold behind the leading duo for the most part, the even-money favourite quickened to the fore inside the final furlong and was ridden out to comfortably outpoint last year's G2 Champagne Stakes victor Bay City Roller (New Bay) by 3/4-of-a-length. Andre Fabre trainee Sinileo (Siyouni) ran on well from off the pace to finish a neck adrift in third.     Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France PRIX EUGENE ADAM-G2, €130,000, Saint-Cloud, 6-29, 3yo, 10fT, 2:09.81, g/s. 1–DARYZ (FR), 126, c, 3, by Sea The Stars (Ire) 1st Dam: Daryakana (Fr) (G1SW-HK, GSW & G1SP-Fr, $1,372,923), by Selkirk 2nd Dam: Daryaba (Ire), by Night Shift 3rd Dam: Darata (Ire), by Vayrann (Ire) 1ST GROUP WIN.

    • TAB, it is good that you are prepared to defend the HRNZ decision msking! However you are defending them with blind faith, as anyone with any semblance of business sense knows that the way things are going, harness racing is a dead duck in the next 10 years! The wasteful spending without any thought to the medium future is just crazy, however we all know that those currently making these decisions will be gone well before that! Seriously why is the Winston committee taking so long to meet, as surely they will be overturning many of the announcements that HRNZ have made or harness is DOOMED!     
    • Mark Jones comes from a Family who COULD be referred to as Harness Racing Royalty . Plus I seem to remember he was on the Council of Trainers and Drivers of NZ. Maybe the chair or deputy Chair ,so I assume this gave him a fairly direct line to the decision makers who he so directly criticises. I see B Mowbray now heads the Canterbury division so maybe Mark stepped aside tho his photo and name still appears on the website as Vice-chair. And maybe Mark wrote this letter as a private communication and didn't intend it to be so public ...but accidentally on purpose distributed it widely. Cos surely A license holder criticising HRNZ and some employees so publicly will be against the Rules and Regulations of HRNZ ....bringing it and them into disrepute . Maybe he has put his horses in somebody elses name  ??????.....to let loose !!!
    • The pricing has been terrible for years now. Never been a better time for turning a profit. Hardest part is trying not to to get banned when taking advantage. I need a bigger family group of accounts to use lol. When they get those prices like Moonlight Blood completely wrong on opening they also get a double hit with the attention it gains through the commentators waffling on about it as well as Ben from Betcha etc. If they opened it at its true price of around 5.00 - 6.00 there would have been nowhere near as much bet on it. It may even have gone out in the odds a bit but so many noticed the move they all piled on.
