Not a great day quantity-wise (just over 33% O-T-B), but very good quality-wise (2 G1W). Highlight of the day was [color=blue]WCh. Sionnach winning the G1 International Stakes, the fifth consecutive year that a horse wearing Starfish colors has won this race.

[color=blue]WCh. Sionnach (6yo, Giant’s Causeway) (Leased from Generous Bloodstock) in the International Stakes (Gr. 1). After 8 wins last year (all SW, with 5 G1W, including the $3m Gr. 1 Breeders’ Cup Turf, $2m Gr. 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe & $3.5m Gr. 1 Japan Cup) and over $7m in earnings for the year, this was his first win this year. It did take his career earnings over the $10m mark. His lease ends on Nov 30th and we will be very sorry to see him go, but will definitely be planning to send a couple of broodmares to him.

Only sent out one today

Halo of Sunlight (Sun King X Highland Queen) third in her first start over the jumps so pretty happy my hunch about her excelling as a SC mare paid off. We have had on lease until January 1 so hope she continues to do well.
