The sires' premiership race grows tighter, with only $200,000 separating the top two spots - who can leverage Saturday to draw ahead? The Queensland winter carnival gets well underway up north where Sydney's best stayers descend on the the G2 AD Hollindale Stakes, and down south at Morphettville, it's third time lucky for Cavity Bay in the G3 SA Fillies Classic, while several first season sires jostle for a maiden stakes win.

Buyers showed a clear preference for youth and early covers at the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale, fuelling solid competition across the board. Zelify led the way at $280,000 when selling to Omen Bloodstock from Lime Country Thoroughbreds, rounding out a strong week of buying and selling. Alma Vale Thoroughbreds, Astute Bloodstock, and Bruce Slade were among those active in a session marked by commercial matings and selective spending.

At the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale, TTR AusNZ uncovered a 'value buy' - an opportunity that a shrewd purchaser had snapped up. McConnell Bloodstock, Rathmore Bloodstock, and Arrawed teamed up to purchase a mare in foal to Home Affairs for less than his 2024 covering fee.
