Gai Waterhouse has announced today that she has made the decision to retire UK import Glencadam Gold. Within four starts in Australia he had won a Group 1, a Group 3 and a Listed event.

CAPE BLANCO is off to a tremendous start in the Northern Hemisphere as a first season sire which is fantastic for a new stallion that was Champion 3yo Stayer in Ireland and Champion 4yo Stayer in the USA.

KAWI became the tenth (10th) individual Group 1 winner by Zabeel’s outstanding son SAVABEEL - with his win in the Makfi Challenge Stakes, New Zealand’s first G1 race of the season. This yet another example how New Zealand’s Champion Sire continues to uplift mares to produce Stakes Class progeny.
