Hello Youmzain's speedy 3yo filly Valasara made it three stakes wins from just six starts when she charged to victory in the Gr.3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise over 1200 metres at Chantilly. Congratulations to @AgaKhanStuds who bred and race Valasara.

After a string of placings, the step up to 2400m proves the key for Eliud, who secures a much-deserved victory for @pikeracingnz. The son of Almanzor was bred by the late Kevin Hickman out of the Rip Van Winkle mare Pendleton and is raced by Mr S Leung. Congratulations to you.

Iminastate had been building towards a win and the son of Sword Of State made no mistake as hot favourite at Kembla Grange today. Congratulations to @willfreedman, @R1CHARDFREEDMAN and their owners who purchased the 3YO from our 2025 yearling draft @KarakaChat.

Sword Of Stars delivers a statement performance in the Gr.3 War Decree Stakes, becoming Sword Of State’s third stakes winner and putting herself firmly in the frame for next month’s Guineas races at Riccarton. The @TeAkauRacing-trained 3yo filly was purchased by Sir David Ellis for $350,000 from her breeder @WindsorParkStud’s 2025 @KarakaChat draft. Congratulations to all the connections on a terrific result.

A patient ride pays the ultimate dividend as Moschino flashes home from last to add another Ellerslie victory to her resume. Moschino is a daughter of Ten Sovereigns out of our Stravinsky mare Botanic. Congratulations to Ellesmere Thoroughbreds Ltd and trainer Margaret Falconer, who purchased her from us via @gavelhouse. Enjoy the victory!

Iconic Scenes showed plenty of tenacity to find the line when it mattered most and make a winning debut for @RacingShailer. A graduate of our 2026 @KarakaChat Book 1 draft, the 2yo by Better Than Ready is the first foal from our imported Churchill mare True Icon. We are delighted to still be involved with this talented galloper and look forward to a bright future with him.

Queen’s Evidence rediscovers her best to find the post and salute this afternoon, under a confident ride from Wiremu Pinn. A talented mare who was stakes placed as a 2YO, Queen’s Evidence is by King’s Legacy out of our Makfi mare Enjay. She was purchased by @TeAkauRacing from our 2024 @KarakaChat Book 1 draft. Congratulations to all the connections!

The next wave of Sword Of State’s juveniles are ready to hit the track in the coming weeks.   Dragon’s Edge became the fourth two-year-old trial winner for our Gr.1-producing sire this spring, winning her 850m heat at Te Awamutu today.

The big girl O’Valerie swoops late, running over the top of them to pinch victory in the shadows of the post! A daughter of Sword Of State, O’Valerie is out of the O’Reilly mare Piper and is raced by a large group of owners, including our own @Cameron_Ring0 and @FlyingFern. Congratulations to the entire Paul Richards team. Enjoy the victory — we’re sure it won’t be the last!
