As April draws to a close, there remains just 3 months remaining to the 2025-26 Racing Season. With the yearling sales basically behind us and stallion masters spruiking the wares of their sires to potential breeders, looking for options to send their mares in the 2026 season, it’s a vital time to look at the various Sires Premiership tables and see who is doing well and those that are not. In many instances the data speaks for itself. Yearling buyers and owners can identify opportunities when looking at buying into racing stock.

In an exceptionally strong 2yo maiden at Kembla on Wednesday, the Chris Waller stable filled the trifecta. However, it was the well-bred Wootton Bassett (GB) filly Katoto who started favourite and scored nicely. ​She had the benefit or race fitness and experience and was far too strong late to win eased down. She is a half-sister to dual Gr2 Savvy Hallie.

It was a professional, tough and well-deserved victory for the Jason Deamer trained Dynamic Syndications galloper PICCADERRO who stepped out on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at Quirindi and got the job done in the Murravale Retirement Home Benchmark 66 Handicap over 1600 metres. This latest success marks the 43rd race win of the current season for Dynamic Syndications selected horses. Importantly it pushes the overall tally to 994 career victories – now we are just six wins away from the significant 1,000 wins magical milestone.

You can only win your Maiden once! So, when the opportunity presents where that single win is worth the equivalent of a Stakes Race, you don’t leave it to chance. You identify it, plan for it, and execute. The keys to unlocking racetrack riches. That’s exactly what Dynamic Syndications did with PRINCE DE VEGA. We pinpointed a seemingly ordinary 1400m Maiden Handicap at Bathurst on ANZAC DAY, Saturday 25 April 2026. On paper, it was worth $27,000. In reality, it was worth $113,950 to the winner.

HOUSTON – WE HAVE LIFT OFF. There are certain sales on the calendar that demand attention for their glamour, their record-breaking prices, and their elite offerings. Then there are others that reward a different skill set entirely. The Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale sits firmly in the latter category. It is an auction environment where discipline, experience, and a willingness to trust your systems can uncover genuine opportunity. It does not hand you answers. It challenges you to find them.

Arrowfield Stud have released the 2026 service fees for its 7 stallions, after an incredibly successful 10 Group 1 victories by 4 Arrowfield sires over the Sydney Autumn Carnival. THE AUTUMN SUN, sire of superstar Autumn Glow and dual Group 1 Guineas winner Autumn Boy, heads Arrowfield Stud’s stallion roster for the first time at a new fee of $137,500 inc. GST.

Dundeel Filly IDLE FLYER became the tenth Gr1 winner for her sire, who is rightly regarded as an outstanding sire in his own right, with 500 Winners, 40 Stakes Winners and 33 Stakes Placegetters. However, his early crops record with fillies was not as strong as that of his colts. That has turned around and is looking far more balanced. His fillies strike rate has certainly improved as time has gone bye, and he now has two female Gr1 winners as Idle Flyer joins Femminile.

Another terrific weekend for Arrowfield Stud sire Dundeel when 4YO daughter Idle Flyer became the highly rated sire’s 10th Group 1 winner with a tremendous victory in the $1 million ATC Queen of the Turf 1600m Gr1 on Day 2 of The Championships at Royal Randwick. Last-start winner of the Emancipation S. G2, Idle Flyer levelled up to multiple Group 1 winners Treasurethe Moment, then Pride Of Jenni and finally Lady Shenandoah (by Snitzel) before kicking clear to score by 0.85 length in 1.33.81 – a new race record. She is the 9th stakes winner, and the 2nd Group 1 winner from Dundeel's 2021 crop joining South Australian Derby winner Femminile.

Champion Sire SNITZEL is leading the way again in 2026. On Saturday 4 April: SNITZEL had 2 Stakes Winners and 3 stakes placegetters including Campione D'Italia - 56.5 who won the breed shaping 2YO ATC Inglis Sires' Gr1 1400m. This was the colt’s first Gr1 win, and it pleased us as we have a winning mare named Altercation (American Pharoah) who is a close female relation to Campione D'Italia.
