A Snitzel yearling colt out of Australian wondermare Winx (Street Cry) has been withdrawn from the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. He sustained a setback in his prep which will prevent him from taking part in the auction. “The welfare of our beautiful colt is of paramount importance to us and the veterinary advice is that he will need a period of time to recover appropriately from his setback,” part-owner Peter Tighe said. “We will give him all the time that he needs and thus he will be unable to take his place in the sale. “He is in great hands with the team at Coolmore and we look forward to his race career once he has made a full recovery.” During the 2024 Inglis Easter Sale, Winx's Pierro filly Quinceanera sold for A$10 million to co-breeder Debbie Kepitis's Woppitt Bloodstock. Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch added, “It's obviously disappointing for the industry as a whole that we won't be seeing Winx's Snitzel colt at Easter, based purely off the amazing scenes and theatre his big sister generated at Inglis Easter at Riverside Stables in 2024. “We wish the connections, with whom we have forged a fantastic relationship with over the past few years, all the very best with their beautiful colt and hopefully he goes on to have a successful race career. “The catalogue for the Easter Sale on March 29 and 30 is extraordinary, the quality of yearlings on offer is incredibly high and we are very much looking forward to the sale.” The post Winx’s Snitzel Colt Withdrawn From Inglis Easter Yearling Sale After Setback appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Three-time G1 Melbourne Cup heroine Makybe Diva has died after a short battle with colic. An Australian racing icon, she was a member of the Australian Racing Hall of Fame since 2006 and achieved Legend status in 2010. She was 27. By Desert King, the mare won the Melbourne Cup from 2003-2005 and is the only Melbourne Cup winner to take the “Race that Stops the Nation” three times. Makybe Stud said in a statement, “A once-in-a-generation legend, Makybe Diva captured the imagination of the nation and the admiration of the global racing community. Her career was defined by courage, endurance and historic achievement. Today, Makybe Diva remains the only horse in history to win three consecutive victories in the Melbourne Cup in 2003, 2004 and 2005.” The Tony Santic-owned runner was first trained by David Hall and captured her first Melbourne Cup for him in 2003. She then moved to the yard of Lee Freedman and was ridden by Hall of Fame jockey Glenn Boss to her other successes. Seven of her victories were Group 1 wins, including the Cox Plate, the Australian Cup, the BMW Stakes and the Sydney Cup. VRC chairman Neil Wilson said of the dual Australian Horse of the Year (2005/2006), “Makybe Diva was more than a champion – she truly transcended the sport of racing. Her three consecutive Melbourne Cup victories stand among the most iconic achievements in Australian sporting history, and the memories she created will never be forgotten. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to her connections, and to the broader racing community who will feel the significance of this loss.” At stud, the daughter of Tugela (Riverman) foaled 10 offspring, with Divanation (All Too Hard) third in a listed race and another daughter producing Group 2-placed Touch Of Mink (Not A Single Doubt).

Talented but injury plagued sprinter Poetic Champion (NZ)(Super Seth) once again displayed his absolute class in a fresh state when he monstered his rivals in the Ancroft Developments (1200m) at Matamata. Carrying topweight of 59kgs, even after apprentice Sam McNab applied his 3kg claim, the son of Super Seth made no race of it once McNab found the lead from barrier rise and applied the blowtorch to his rivals from that point onwards. Poetic Champion was cruising as he rounded the home turn and quickly extended to a two-length margin over the chasing pack. McNab gave his mount a couple of flicks on the rump and he bounded away to win by just over three lengths at the line from Egyptian Queen (Zoustar), who chased him gamely all the way and the late closing Lachie. Trainer Tony Pike, who had also produced another promising mare in Thooza (NZ) (Almanzor) to win nicely earlier on the card, was thrilled to see his star back to his best although he knows that his racing career is on a day-by-day basis. “I think he could be a proper Group One sprinter if he hadn’t been plagued with knee issues all of his career,” Pike said. “When he is 100 percent sound he oozes class, but we generally can only get two or three starts out of him before the issues flare up and he has to go back to the paddock. “He was first-up today after 10 months off and he did what he normally does although we expected him to win in rating 75 company as he is much better than that. “I’m hopeful that as he matures, he will start to shake off some of the problems. He has pulled up better than I have seen before. “We’ll probably take him to Trentham next for the Lightning (Listed, 1200m) in April as he goes better left-handed with less pressure on his right knee, which is his worst.” Pike was also delighted with the performance of Thooza, who took out a rating 75 1400m contest in a tight three-way tussle at the finish of the fourth race on the card. “She (Thooza) is getting better and better as she matures and she was very good today,” he said. “She got run off her feet on a very firm track at Te Rapa last time but with a little more give in the surface today she was much better suited. “The way she is progressing she will deserve a shot at some black type, so we will be looking to see where we can go to try and achieve that goal.” Pike went within a long head of a winning treble with promising stayer Maldini (NZ) (Tarzino) succumbing to the late charge from Savoir Faire (NZ) (Savabeel) when beaten into second by just a long head in the open 2000m contest on the card.
