A high class sprinter, an eye-catching type, a speed pedigree of considerable depth; Yes Yes Yes is a horse that ticks all the boxes and it seems that breeders across the country agree, the son of Rubick in his first season at stud serving an impressive harem of 205 mares. And he has 22 in foal who are either stakes winners or the dams of stakes winners, including one of Australia's best producers Pretty Penny whose seven foals (including the Group winners Sertorius, Clifton Red, Dollar For Dollar and Pretty Brazen) have all earned black-type.

NOT every Melbourne Cup winner makes a mark in the breeding barn, but a tough as teak mare who claimed the race more than 70 years ago has founded a family of mainly sprinters who are still winning at the highest level today. One of those descendants is Sooboog who stands at Kitchwin Hills in the Hunter Valley and has just covered his second book at $13,200.
A $500,000 yearling buy, Headwater lived up to his speed pedigree, both parents being Gr.1-winning sprinters, to claim the Silver Slipper-Gr.2 at just his second start. Now based at Vinery in the Hunter Valley, the son of Exceed and Excel is an in-demand young sire whose first yearlings are creating much excitement in 2019.
Prized Icon, a classic winner with a speed pedigree, won elite honours at two and three for young trainer James Cummings. Bred on the successful More Than Ready (USA)-Danehill (USA) cross, this Gooree bred star begins his stud career at the Lamont family’s Kooringal Stud, in the new season.
WITH a sire, grandsire and great-grandsire who have all written their names in Australian breeding history Trapeze Artist has a lot to live up to. But this four-time Gr.1 winner is used to writing his name in the record books and is sure to make every post a winner when he begins his stallion career at Widden Stud in the new season.
Harry Angel, an early-maturing sprint champion who claimed a Gr.1 double at three, has a Danehill-free pedigree that seems likely to suit many in our broodmare population. This shuttler to Darley’s Kelvinside, NSW, hails from a branch of the Northern Dancer sire line that has already given us champion sire Last Tycoon (IRE) and he was a Group winner at two, three and four.
Any juvenile who can win Gr.1 races at his second and third starts has to be pretty special and there is no doubt this description fits Bolt d’Oro (USA), who begins his first shuttle season at Spendthrift Australia’s Victorian property later this year. A handsome bay standing 16.2 hands, he looks a perfect match for Danehill line mares.
