The show begins with a round-up of racing news, highlighted by Private Eye’s (Al Maher) commanding return in the Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes and the emergence of talented 3-year-olds such as Jimmy Ricard (I Am Invincible), Skyhook (Written Tycoon), and Ninja (Farnan).

Caroline Searcy then turns the spotlight to Darley Kelvinside, where the exciting young stallion Traffic Warden (Street Boss{USA}) is standing his first season. By Street Boss, sire of champion Anamoe, Traffic Warden boasts elite juvenile form, a Golden Rose runner-up finish behind Broadsiding (Too Darn Hot {GB}), and a pedigree rich with Darley-Woodlands’ influential bloodlines. His strength, speed, and precocity make him an appealing option for breeders looking to inject toughness and early ability into their mares.

Attention then shifts to Gooree Park Stud, where record-breaking Everest winner Yes Yes Yes (Rubick) has settled into his new role as a stallion. Despite a career cut short by injury, his electrifying win over champions like Nature Strip (Nicconi) and Santa Ana Lane (Lope De Vega {Ire}) cemented his legacy, and his recent run of winners has reaffirmed his value at stud. With a strong Rubick, Fantastic Light pedigree and a service fee positioned for breeders to race and recoup, he continues to build momentum as a sire of the future.

Closing the program, Bred to Win celebrates its lighter side with “Stud Dogs of Australasia.” This week, Caroline introduces her own kelpie, Willoughby, a much-loved member of the crew who accompanies shoots across Australia and New Zealand. Known for his loyalty, quiet presence during filming, and knack for making everyone smile, Willoughby embodies the warmth and companionship that animals bring to life on stud farms, rounding out another episode that blends racetrack achievement, breeding insights, and heartfelt stories from the thoroughbred world.
