That would be this race that Hugdon posted about in 'Trainers and Drivers'

Race 2 Pinjarra today. 7 starters
6 by the same sire - Follow The Stars
1 by Pet Rock
5 trained by the same Trainer Peter Anderson
5 Owned by the same owner Alwood Stud
What are the odds of a Sire/trainer/owner filling the trfecta?

The same Sire/Trainer/Owner-Breeder filled the first five

Captaintreacherous will have his 2nd Australian starter at Melton on Saturday - Backwards First
There is lots of interest in this first season sire, so far he has Its All About Faith in NZ promoting him but he is out of champion 2yo Veste so it is hard to say who gets the credit

I'm working on the same cross that produced Soho Lanikai with my American Ideal mare (Jilliby Nippa). Can't afford SBSW so I've used Lincoln Royal nz (Mach Three over a Beach towel Mare) .

Working well so far, it's a colt with four legs and one head !

I see the winner of R5 Talks Up A Storm is the 2nd winner for Artspeak in Oz from only 5 to race so far (I think)
He only stood the one season at Empire Avenel with 117 services and 65 foals
He is yet to make a big impression in the US

or maybe your big spenders did their homework on the super job his progeny in USA are continuing..leading 2yo sire. his foals in this part of the world have the looks and physique to suggest a similar standing here over the next wee while. not everyone can have a bettors.

At this point Tintin In America is easily leading the 2yo sires when it comes to Av$ per starter ($30k) thanks to two of his three starters quinella'ing the Fillies Sales Classic race a month ago

But Tintin is not going to be able to top any tables come season's end due to not having the required number of starters
