In the fifth episode of Bred to Win 2025, Caroline Searcy introduces viewers to a fresh season of stallion profiles, opening with Broadsiding, Godolphin's latest addition at Darley's Kelvinside. The show reflects on his elite racing career, champion 2-year-old, Golden Rose hero, and a Cox Plate placegetter, and discusses his appeal as a stallion with elite speed, toughness, and a deep Dubawi (Ire) pedigree. Broadsiding is presented as the Aussie version of his sire Too Darn Hot (GB), who also returns this year to continue his shuttle success.

The episode also highlights the achievements of 2024’s champion sires, with Widden's Zoustar claiming his first national title, followed by I Am Invincible and Pride of Dubai. In New Zealand, Savabeel retained dominance, while first-season sires like Hello Youmzain (Fr) and Farnan made strong impressions. The segment at Kia Ora Stud showcases Farnan, Captivant, and Prague, all standing on deep pedigrees and early promise, with Kia Ora's Allison Sedgwick praising their temperaments, physicality, and early progeny results. Farnan in particular is living up to his Golden Slipper-winning reputation.
Adding a warm touch to the season finale, the show introduces a charming new segment, “Stud Dogs of Australasia”. Featuring Jack, the Jack Russell from Coolmore, who’s as much part of the team as any horse. As the curtain falls on a standout season, Bred to Win continues to blend expert insight with heart, a sentiment echoed in TTR’s coverage, capturing both the ambition and affection that define the breeding industry.
