Not A Single Doubt, Snitzel, Testa Rossa, Savabeel, Charm Spirit and Guillotine sired stakes winners on Saturday.
Arrowfield Stud-based stallion Not A Single Doubt sired his 69th stakes winner on Saturday when his 4-year-old gelded son Quackerjack's landed the Villiers Stakes (Grade 2) at Randwick. Purchased by Mark Newnham for $240,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale from the Rosari Farm draft, Quackerjack is out of the dual winner mare Quack It from the family of stakes winning 2-year-old Sugar Boom.
Rosari Farm will offer Quackerjack's Vancouver half-sister as lot 660 on the Gold Coast in January.
Not A Single Doubt's barnmate and another son of Redoute's Choice in Snitzel sired his 94th stakes winner on Saturday when his 2-year-old son Wild Ruler won the Inglis Nursery (Restricted Listed). The colt was purchased by China Horse Club, Newgate Farm and WinStar Farm for $525,000 at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale from the Kia Ora Stud draft. Snitzel stood at Arrowfield Stud for a fee of $220,000 (inc GST) and Wild Ruler was his third two-year-old winner of the season.
The former Vinery Stud-based Testa Rossa meanwhile sired his 66th stakes winner on Saturday when his 6-year-old gelded son Deep Image took out the Lough Neagh Stakes (Listed) at Eagle Farm. Testa Rossa was retired from stallion duties earlier this year having covered reduced books in 2017 and 2018. His progeny are headed by the Group 1 winners Ortensia, Rostova, Enzo's Lad and Testafiable.
In New Zealand Waikato Stud's Savabeel sired his 94th stakes winner on Saturday when his daughter The Real Beel won the Cal Isuzu Stakes (Group 2) at Te Rapa. The Real Beel was a NZ$110,000 purchase by David Ellis at the New Zealand Bloodstock Premier Yearling Sale and her sire has 73 lots catalogued for next year's Karaka Yearling Sale.
The Windsor Park-based shuttler Charm Spirit continued his good run when his 3-year-old daughter Lilikoi provided him with his 6th stakes winner. Lilikoi took out the Eulogy Stakes (Group 3) at Awapuni and her half-brother by Vadamos will be offered at lot 452 at the Karaka Yearling Sale in January.
Charm Spirit, a son of Invincible Spirit, will stand for £8,500 at Tweenhills Stud in England next year.
Another to add to their tally was Guillotine who sired his 7th stakes winner following the victory of 5-year-old gelding Justamaiz in the Waikato Cup (Gr 3, 2400m) at Te Rapa.
