(Now Little Avondale) The daughter of the Solario stallion Tai Yang would ultimately cover herself in glory claiming the honour of Broodmare Of The Year twice. But that seemed a long way off when the first four foals of Sunbride reached the track. None were of little consequence until...

Shared Secrets ( Nadeem -Eva Kelly by O’Reilly) win in The Dominion Post NZ St Leger Trial at Otaki on Saturday continues an excellent run of form by the progeny of her sire Nadeem. Coming off a fast finishing 4 th in the 1600m Group 3 Desert Gold Stakes at her most recent start, the Mark Oulaghan trained filly was entitled to be the modicum of good support at Otaki. However stepping to 2100m for the first time and competing against four-year-old company is never easy yet the Nadeem filly...
Consistent 4YO Lanciato (Per Incanto -Surreptitious by O’Reilly) gained a well deserved first Australian success when finishing strongly to win over 1400m at Rosehill on Wednesday.

Group 2 Danehill Stakes winner Saracino ( Per Incanto -Bella Daniela by O’Reilly) tackled the best older sprinters in the country in Saturday’s 1400m Group 1 NRM Sprint, fighting on courageously to finish a close third behind the winner Start Wondering and runner-up Natuzzi. Meanwhile at the other two domestic Saturday meetings, Don Carlo ( Per Incanto -Turf Fire by O’Reilly) registered his third win at just his sixth start when successful over 1200m at Riccarton, while at Woodville, fellow...
