Darling View Thoroughbreds stallion Patronize passed another milestone when The Last Waltz recorded his 250th win at the Kalgoorlie carnival on Thursday.

This Saturday commences an exciting week for All American spanning his stud career in the Hunter Valley and at Geisel Park in WA.

Black Heart Bart’s heroic victory in the G1 Underwood Stakes at Caulfield was a hard act to follow but Tellem We’re Comin wasn’t overawed in the WA Goldfields on Thursday.

Anticipation is building in the countdown to the first juvenile events of the season in Brisbane and Sydney this Saturday.

Ascot trainer Paul Jordan is a past-master at winning early juvenile races and his 2yo filly Convention can fit the bill this season.

More Than Ready unveiled another 3yo filly with stakes-winning potential when Still Single outclassed her rivals in the Darley Maiden Hcp (1100m) at Randwick on Wednesday.

Oakland Park and Damien Oliver turned the clock back to the glory years when Pushin’ Shapes landed a long-shot victory at Caulfield on Sunday.

It’s going on two years since Blackfriars died but he remains the benchmark for stallion excellence in Western Australia.
