The @resracingky Kentucky Derby Week Wrap-Up! 🇺🇲🏇🎉
The trip of a lifetime for me and my partner Elisa to the Kentucky Derby has come and gone.
What an incredible experience, a once-in-a-lifetime trip where we were treated like complete VIPs and experienced everything Lexington and Louisville had to offer during Derby and Oaks week.
We cannot express our gratitude enough to @jstewartrr, @chelseyshea, and especially Sarah Stewart for the amount of time they gave us over that week.
Below is a thread 🧵 of what we were up to, including photos and videos for anyone who is interested
With 26 ANZ Group 1 performers - more than Zoustar - Dundeel ranks highly among Australia’s proven sires, and his large, superbly bred 2024 & 2025 crops will underpin the market for his 2027 foals...
In the wake of 10 Group 1 victories by four Arrowfield sires during the Sydney Autumn Carnival, we are proud to announce our stellar line-up for 2026! https://t.co/ByOoYvt9UL
Arrowfield Stud is delighted to announce that @JuddmonteFarms Group 1-winning miler Lead Artist (Dubawi – Obligate by Frankel) will join the Stud’s 2026 stallion roster under a shuttle arrangement. https://t.co/SOzlfEdH1S
"I love to see horses that come into a prep and thrive on it, she's got a great attitude...." Hear from Sherah Sullivan @SullivanBloods1 about Lot 261 Hitotsu ex Evening Star filly heading to @mmsnippets in January!
CAFFE FLORIAN wins the Gosford Guineas!
Another big win to the emerging @littracing filly who completes a hat-trick in the Listed @gosford_races event, storming over the top of Mareth with Memo in third. @tabcomau
COSMIC CRUSADER (5 g Maurice - Cosmic Storm) kicks away to win the Carbine Club Of W.A. Stakes (Listed, 1400m) for @MickyGrantham 🏆
The Peters Investments bred and raced gelding gives @ArrowfieldStud MAURICE a 34th individual stakes winner 🇯🇵
Redoute's Choice in 1999. The Autumn Sun in 2018. Autumn Boy in 2025. This is how dreams are made, and stallion dynasties are built. Warmest thanks & congratulations B: Richard Rutherford, @mmsnippets V: @amarina_farm, O: Glenn Ritchie, T: @cwallerracing & J: @LaneDamian.
Maurice’s first crop of yearlings bred at his peak fee averaged $503,000 at Inglis Easter, with a median price of $450,000. In fact, he was one of only 8 stallions whose Easter average exceeded $500,000. These horses are the first of Maurice's 200+ best-bred progeny coming on stream now as yearlings & 2YOs.
If you look at the winning pedigrees of last season’s 25 Group 1 Australian 2YO and 3YO races, you’ll find an Arrowfield stallion in the first three generations of 21 of them.
