Written by Renee Geelen Jockey Vinnie Colgan combined with trainer Donna Logan to win Saturday&rsquo;s juvenile race at Ruakaka with debutant gelding Yokozuna (Fierce Impact {Jpn}) by 1.5l from the favourite 2-year-old colt Moretothinkabout (So You Think {NZ}), who was also on debut for the Stephen Marsh stable, and is a son of Group 1 winner More Joyous (More Than Ready {USA}).
The racetrack is a great leveller, as they say, and Yokozuna becomes the second winner for his first season sire Fierce Impact (Jpn) who stands at Victoria&rsquo;s Lovatsville. In a weird quirk, both his winners have been in New Zealand, with the other being Listed-placed Zelia.

&ldquo;That was a really nice win by Yokozuna today, I think he&rsquo;s got the makings of a good horse,&rdquo; Logan said. &ldquo;The phone&rsquo;s ringing already with people interested in buying him, which isn&rsquo;t surprising after a performance like that. We&rsquo;ll wait and see what we do with him from here, but he&rsquo;s shown that he likes the track here, so we might be bringing him back to Ruakaka.&rdquo; The G3 Cambridge Stud Northland Breeders&rsquo; Stakes for 3-year-olds is run at the track in mid-August.
Originally sold by Bombora Downs at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale for $16,000 to Hallmark Stud, Yokozuna was on-sold by Hallmark Stud at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale for NZ$40,000 to Donna Logan Racing.

Yokozuna&rsquo;s dam, Misstiflying (Flying Spur) has been an excellent broodmare with five winners from five to race and her only unraced foal is a yearling colt by I Am Immortal. A winner of 1200 metres, Misstiflying is a daughter of Listed winner Miss Pageantry (Viscount) who is a half-sister to G2 Alister Clarke Stakes winner Speedy King (Hennessy {USA}). Misstiflying&rsquo;s first, second, and third dams are all stakes winners, being Miss Pageantry, Rich Pageantry (Rubiton) and Tempestuous (Bletchingly).

Story courtesy of Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria (TBV) Move To&nbsp;Strike&nbsp;one of the more intriguing additions to the state&rsquo;s burgeoning stallion ranks this year.&nbsp; Move To Strike, who will stand at Lovatsville&nbsp;Stud for $16,500, became his superstar sire&rsquo;s first juvenile Group 1 winner when the Te&nbsp;Akau Racing-owned colt stormed home over the top of some high-class rivals to claim the 2024 Sires&rsquo; Produce Stakes (1400m) at Trentham.&nbsp;&nbsp; Adding further merit to the eye-catching victory was the fact that the beaten brigade that day included subsequent elite level victors Captured By Love, Savaglee&nbsp;and Velocious, as well as the Ciaron Maher-trained Sergeant Major whose last start saw him break through&nbsp;in Stakes grade in the Listed Pacific Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to Lovatsville&rsquo;s&nbsp;founder and CEO Sam White, the precocity of that performance - allied to his good looks and an unflappable temperament - should ensure a long and prosperous stud future alongside his fellow residents Fierce Impact&nbsp;(Deep Impact), Generation&nbsp;(Snitzel), Melbourne Cup (3200m) winner Gold Trip&nbsp;(Outsrip) and Royal Meeting&nbsp;(Invincible Spirit), the sire of last year&rsquo;s Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) heroine Hayasugi.&nbsp; <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/3c1128f259bc4da0baf9b3d07568631b.jpg" alt="" width="699" height="466" /> &ldquo;We&rsquo;re all very focused on precocity in this industry, and this colt certainly had plenty of it,&rdquo; said White.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Particularly as a son of Vinny he had been on our radar for a while, these type of colts&nbsp;are often hard to access so we were delighted to come to an agreement with our partners at Seymour Bloodstock and Te&nbsp;Akau to stand him here at Lovatsville.&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;His win in the Sires&rsquo; Produce was absolutely enormous, you don&rsquo;t&nbsp;see two-year-olds capable of winning a Group 1 in that manner too often. It was a high-quality field&nbsp;and he put them away easily, which is what really locked us into him. Whilst he had plenty of speed, his performance over 1400 metres that day suggested he could&rsquo;ve&nbsp;got over a mile in time, and that versatility is something the market is certainly looking for.&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;What has probably impressed&nbsp;us most is how seamlessly he has fitted in at the farm. [Te&nbsp;Akau boss] David Ellis and [trainer] Mark Walker were both glowing in their praise about his temperament, and it&rsquo;s&nbsp;very easy&nbsp;to see why because he&rsquo;s&nbsp;been absolutely outstanding since the moment he arrived.&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Mark told us he&rsquo;s&nbsp;one of the most sound-minded colts he&rsquo;s&nbsp;ever put a saddle on, and he&rsquo;s&nbsp;trained a lot of good horses. He said he was always a pleasure to work with, and he&rsquo;s&nbsp;shown that on the farm. Nothing fazes him, and he&rsquo;s&nbsp;integrated very quickly and easily into a stallion barn with some dominant Alpha males in it. So that is really pleasing, and his sound temperament should take him a very long&nbsp;way in this game.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All of Lovatsville's stallions are nominated to the VOBIS Sires program, with Service Fees eligible for payment with a VOBIS Platinum voucher redemption.&nbsp;&nbsp;Progeny of VOBIS Sires stallions are&nbsp;VOBIS Platinum eligible and, once nominated, may race for over $30 million in VOBIS prizemoney, bonuses&nbsp;and vouchers each season including the exclusive $1 million VOBIS Platinum Showdown for two-year-olds and $500,000 VOBIS Platinum Guineas at three.&nbsp;Progeny of VOBIS Sires stallions are&nbsp;also eligible for purchase with VOBIS Platinum vouchers, and in turn may compete for an additional&nbsp;$7.5 million in VOBIS Platinum vouchers on offer each season.&nbsp;

(homepage) Stallion Match & Lovatsville - Find your 20/20 mating to receive a discounted nomination

Story courtesy of TTR Aus/NZ, written by Dane McLeod Rising thoroughbred industry figure Sam White helped form Lovatsville around 12 months ago as part of a strategic restructure of the Victorian stallion operation, Leneva Park.
<div class="ByLine">&nbsp;</div>
White, who previously held roles at Coolmore and later Ciaron Maher Racing, joined forces with Seymour Park owners Darren Thomas and Mark Pilkington, along with Leneva Park&rsquo;s Luke Vandersluys, to establish Lovatsville at the Northwood Road property.
When asked how he wants Lovatsville to be known and perceived, White was clear in his intentions.
<figure class="SlateElement Photo"></figure>
&ldquo;First and foremost, we want to be known for doing fair business,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Beyond that, we&rsquo;re openly looking to make partnerships and enjoy working with people. We&rsquo;re open-minded about how that looks, whether that&rsquo;s trading or selling in partnerships.&rdquo;
The foundation of Lovatsville&rsquo;s business philosophy places an emphasis on the importance of relationships as well as results.
&ldquo;We want to work with good people. This industry is amazing, but it&rsquo;s demanding,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;A big reason why a lot of us do it is because we love the animal and we love the game,&rdquo; White said.
Lovatsville operates solely as a stallion station, and while there&rsquo;s no immediate plan to expand beyond that scope, White sees room for careful and considered growth.
&ldquo;At the moment, we&rsquo;re focused on the stallion side, we don&rsquo;t have plans to change that,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll look to grow with the right horses. I can see us having six to eight stallions in time, but there&rsquo;s no rush. We&rsquo;ll do it properly.&rdquo;
White also believes the industry needs to think creatively to attract new participants, especially as the landscape becomes more challenging for small breeders and owners.
&ldquo;I think we have a responsibility to entice new people into the industry,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re looking at some new initiatives that might be a little outside the norm, more experience-based or entertainment-driven. That&rsquo;s what this industry needs to offer if we want to stay vibrant and grow.&rdquo;
<h3 class="SlateElement">Knowledge across the industry a big asset</h3>
Sam White brings a mix of experience to his role at Lovatsville, having worked across both the breeding and racing sectors. His time at Coolmore Stud, followed by a stint with the Ciaron Maher Racing team, has helped shape the way he approaches stud management, stallion management and business strategy.
&ldquo;I had a great time at Coolmore, I can&rsquo;t speak highly enough of them as an organisation. It was very much run like a family, and they were very good to me,&rdquo; White said. &ldquo;But I was eager to get back to Victoria, and it was great to be at the coalface of racing with Ciaron.
<figure class="SlateElement Photo"></figure>
"I joined Ciaron when it was only one stable at Caulfield and I had a great time with him, he has been a great supporter of me.
&ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s absolutely important to have experience on both sides of the industry. It really helps paint the full picture of what this business is.&rdquo;
White also credits his wife, Sarah Wall, for influencing the way Lovatsville approaches promotion and communication. A former elite netballer and founder of Netfit Netball, Wall brings strong marketing acumen from the world of women&rsquo;s sport.
&ldquo;Sarah has a really sharp marketing brain, especially when it comes to storytelling and building engagement,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I've learnt a lot from her in terms of how we position ourselves and communicate with breeders
&ldquo;To understand the outcomes of breeding from both the beginning and end user perspective is important. We need to know how trainers operate, what they&rsquo;re looking for at the sales, and how we can breed horses that will fit seamlessly into their systems.&rdquo;
<h3 class="SlateElement">Move To Strike: A Group 1 star with strong foundations</h3>
There has always been a sense of something special about Move To Strike who takes his place on the Lovatsville roster at a fee of $16,500 inc GST.
A $525,000 Magic Millions yearling from Baramul Stud, Move To Strike was snapped up by David Ellis for Te Akau Racing, who have developed a reputation for unearthing elite juvenile talent.
Precocious from the outset, the I Am Invincible colt won one of the earliest trials of the season and made a winning debut before Christmas. His form quickly stacked up: he finished second in the G2 Eclipse Stakes behind stablemate Bellatrix Star (Star Witness), who later won the G2 Schillaci Stakes and was runner-up in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. In third that day was Velocious (Written Tycoon), the eventual G1 Sistema Stakes winner.
<figure class="SlateElement Photo"></figure>
Move To Strike was also fifth in the G3 Matamata Slipper behind Savaglee (NZ) (Savabeel), who later won the G1 NZ 2000 Guineas and placed in the G1 Australian Guineas. He reached the pinnacle as a juvenile with a Group 1 victory over 1400 metres in the G1 Manawatu Sires' Produce Stakes, defeating future G1 NZ 1000 Guineas winner Captured By Love (Written Tycoon).
Out of G2 Let&rsquo;s Elope Stakes winner No Evidence Needed (Shamardal {USA}), his dam also placed in the G1 Robert Sangster and G1 Australasian Oaks and has produced five winners, including the G2-placed Discharged (Snitzel). This family traces back to G3 Gimcrack winner Kincay (Marscay).
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s exciting for us,&rdquo; said White. &ldquo;He has been very well-received and it&rsquo;s comforting that when you do make a decision to stand a new stallion, to be validated has been very reassuring. It makes him a very viable addition.
&ldquo;Physically, he has a profile that will suit the Australian market, and pedigree-wise he is a standout. He&rsquo;s big, strong, dark and sexy.&rdquo;
He also brings the right temperament. &ldquo;From the moment he stepped on the farm he&rsquo;s been a pleasure, so easy. That&rsquo;s something the Te Akau team pointed out early on.&rdquo;
White confirmed that Move To Strike is already proving popular. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve had bookings from Adelaide, Queensland, Victoria and New Zealand. At the moment, he has about 90 mares on his list, so we&rsquo;re in great shape.&rdquo;
<h3 class="SlateElement">Lovatsville stallion lineup</h3>
Joining the Group 1-winning 2-year-old Move To Strike, are emerging sire prospects: Royal Meeting (Ire), Fierce Impact (Jpn), Generation and Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip (Fr), all standing at their 2024 service fees.
Lovatsville has decided to hold things steady, and even offering the scope for individual deals that could provide extra value.
&ldquo;We are conscious that times are tough and we need to support each other,&rdquo; said Sam White. &ldquo;Small breeders are the backbone of the game, and our attitude towards business is reflective of that understanding. We want everyone to win.&rdquo;
White said the approach to pricing was deliberate and focused on fairness.
&ldquo;It is a fairly priced roster, and at the same time we aren&rsquo;t in a position to increase the fees either. These horses still have to prove themselves to warrant rises.&rdquo;
<div class="Quote">&nbsp;</div>
&ldquo;We are encouraging breeders to get in touch. We&rsquo;re extremely open to doing business and think we can make a fair deal for everyone. The early bird may get the worm. We want to do good business from the get-go. Breeders can call us with confidence.&rdquo;
<h3 class="SlateElement">The ATA Partnership</h3>
Last spring, Lovatsville launched a strategic partnership with the Australian Trainers&rsquo; Association (ATA), offering stallion nominations as incentives in select fillies and mares races across regional Victoria.
The initiative provided two nominations to each stallion on the 2024 roster for winning trainers who were ATA members. The trainers could either use the nominations themselves or on-sell them.
&ldquo;It worked really well,&rdquo; said White. &ldquo;Having worked in both the training and breeding sides of the industry, I&rsquo;ve seen how important it is to build circular relationships.
"As a result of the initiative, trainers such as Matt Cumani, Archie Alexander and Troy Corstens sent mares to Lovatsville stallions. White said the program may expand into other states.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m a big believer in giving if you want to receive. I have huge respect for trainers, the workload they take on and the financial risk they&rsquo;re exposed to. It&rsquo;s one of the main issues the industry is facing and we should be able to talk about it.&rdquo;
&ldquo;The ATA partnership is an acknowledgement of that risk and one way we can help. We need to support each other.&rdquo;

<div class="des_report">
Following the announcement of exciting Group 1-winning 2-year-old, Move To Strike, Lovatsville have released their fees for the entire roster with each of Royal Meeting (Ire), Fierce Impact (Jpn), Generation and Gold Trip (Fr) remaining at their 2024 quote.
<div id="AppleMailSignature" style="caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">

Bucking the trend in 2025 where commercial service fees have increased on average, Lovatsville have held fees steady while leaving the door open for further value through a select number of deals on offer.
&ldquo;We are conscious that times are tough and we need to support each other. Small breeders are the backbone of the game, and our attitude towards business is reflective of that understanding. We want everyone to win,&rdquo; White added on the opportunity of the deals on offer.&nbsp;
In joining the Lovatsville ranks at a fee of $16,500 (incl. GST), Move To Strike retires as I Am Invincible first and only Group 1 winning two year-old at stud &ldquo;For breeders to be able to access a horse of the times, with the pedigree, profile and physique of Move To Strike, and at a price point where people can make money, we think is terribly exciting. He&rsquo;s big, strong, and sexy and will appeal to the commercially focused breeder.&rdquo; <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/a82445cbea2a4a0ba14024551f1880fb.jpg" alt="" height="437" />
Royal Meeting covered the biggest and best book of his career last season of 129 mares, thanks to the brilliant G1 Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi, and he remains at $22,000 (incl. GST) in 2025. From a sire line known for producing later maturing sprinting sorts, Royal Meeting has proven his ability by leaving a Group 1 winner, a host of smart city performers and is developing a profile in Hong Kong through recent winner King Lotus and the emerging Incredible Moment.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Royal Meeting has got good numbers coming through and recently made his mark in Hong Kong. His fee remains the same because he&rsquo;s had a 2-year-old Group 1 winner in his first crop, which is difficult to achieve. He&rsquo;s shown he can do it and has more to follow in the coming months. Like all of our established horses however, we are open to doing deals with clients to assist in the economic climate,&rdquo; said White <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/010df13385834d518e1caab4cad1fe9a.jpg" alt="" height="424" />
Fierce Impact remains at the value fee of $13,750 (incl. GST) and with continued murmurings of the potential of his stock he looks to be one of the better &ldquo;punt&rdquo; horses on offer this season. &ldquo;Fierce Impact is a horse we have a lot of faith in. No one expected them to be early 2-year-old sorts, but from only a handful of runners, he&rsquo;s had the winning and black-type performer Zelia, as well as Fine Star who was fourth on debut in a Listed race, and Matt Smith&rsquo;s Fierceness ran fourth on debut at Canterbury and that race has Group 1 Sires Produce form around it,&rdquo; said White.
Fierce Impact has excelled in the ring with his second season stock averaging $90,000, representing a 5.5x return on service fee, with his stock realising up to $400,000 at Inglis Easter for the Hirondelle colt to respected judge Kevin Walls. On top of that a Magic Millions colt fetched $200,000, going to Lindsay Park, with Simon Miller a returning buyer of the breed when paying $170,000 at the Melbourne Premier Sale for a filly out of Silk Jacket. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/f2a842b3ed164b9abdfb7ef911c749bb.jpg" alt="" height="428" />
A few seasons ago, a horse that appealed to Ciaron Maher as the &ldquo;right&rdquo; kind of Snitzel, in his eyes, at the Magic Millions was the colt that would become Generation. A $575,000 Magic Millions yearling purchased in partnership with Dermot Farrington, the ripping looking first foal from triple-stakes winning 2 year-old speed machine Fontiton delivered on his looks and pedigree as an undefeated 2 year-old, multiple Group 3 winning 3 year-old and dual Group 1 performed sprinter. He stands this season at an unchanged $11,000 (incl. GST).
Acquired because he was the &ldquo;right&rdquo; kind of Snitzel, Generation has furnished into one of the most magnificent stallions, strong whilst retaining his athleticism, a lovely colour and a thumping big hip on him which is why the team are eagerly awaiting his first foals. &ldquo;If he produces horses that look like himself, we&rsquo;ll see continued support because he has the capability of producing the types of horses that the market wants; fast, sexy, sleek looking racehorses with a commercial flavour to them,&rdquo; Lovatsville&rsquo;s Sam White said. &ldquo;I think it&rsquo;s also important to note that Ciaron Maher has taken a stake in Generation as&nbsp; he believes that horses like him stand as good a chance as any to be the next Vinnie, Written or Tassort. Finger&rsquo;s crossed.&rdquo;&nbsp; <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/3464924c8f204f35b6cc7e23d05550a1.jpg" alt="" height="425" />
Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip rounds out the roster at the value fee of $8,800 (incl. GST). A grandson of Exceed and Excel, from a brilliant Aga Khan family and returning a CT Short on the Equinome speed gene test, Gold Trip ran as a 2 year-old before becoming a Group winner at three in France, running third in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris and fourth in the time-honoured G1 Prix de l&rsquo;Arc de Triomphe. Sent to Australia he won the aforementioned Melbourne Cup as well as a high-class Group 1 Turnbull Stakes, defeating global superstar Romantic Warrior in the process.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I love this horse. He&rsquo;s a king. He&rsquo;s got the looks, the attitude, and we know he had the performance. As a 3-year-old he ran an amazing fourth in the Arc, where he looked like the winner in the straight. I struggle to think of a local 3 year-old who could produce that kind of performance at that level, yet you can access him at a fraction of a price of his contemporaries at stud,&rdquo; said White. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/8c049a78666349ae87f4c3eb1a890d30.jpg" alt="" height="423" />
On the prospects of the upcoming season, White is confident in the balance of the roster and the ability for Lovatsville to develop their foothold in the competitive stallion market &ldquo;We&rsquo;re proud to stand five quality options for the market at competitive rates, with greater value on offer. We love to look at pedigrees, providing advice and structuring deals that benefit the breeder, so we encourage anyone interested in our stallions to reach out for a no-obligation assessment of your mares. We will get straight to the point.&rdquo;

Mark Newnham has had a great season so far In Hong Kong and produced an impressive winner at Happy Valley on Wednesday evening when Royal Meeting (IRE) three year-old King Lotus charged home to win.
Having just his second race start, King Lotus was doing his best work on the line in the 1200m dash to win by a neck for Lyle Hewitson running away.

Hewitson was impressed with King Lotus, who looks to have a bright future.
&ldquo;Fortunately, I&rsquo;ve stuck with him from day one &ndash; he&rsquo;s always given me a nice feel,&rdquo; Hewitson said.
&ldquo;We thought he would need 1400m, at least, before he wins and we thought he would be a nice miler.
&ldquo;On debut, he ran a nice race. He got held up over the last few strides, he could have run fourth, and with natural improvement, he showed a bit more today. He&rsquo;s an uncomplicated horse who&rsquo;s getting better so the fact he got it right today is pretty impressive.&rdquo;
King Lotus is the first winner in Hong Kong for young Lovatsville based sire Royal Meeting, best known as the sire of Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi.
He was sold privately to Hong Kong after winning a couple of barrier trials at Newcastle last year and is the first winner from L&rsquo;Etoile, an unraced Pierro daughter of Group III winner Jade Marauder.

Seymour Bloodstock, Te Akau Racing and emerging Victorian Stallion Station, Lovatsville, are pleased to announce that Move To Strike (I Am Invincible ex. No Evidence Needed) will stand this coming season at the Seymour Park-based stud Lovatsville for a fee of $16,500 (incl. GST). Beautifully bred colt Move To Strike, also a pre-Christmas winning 2 year-old, became Vinnie&rsquo;s first Group 1 winning 2 year-old (and one of only two, alongside recent ATC Sires victor and newly minted stallion prospect Vinrock) when winning the Group 1 Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes over 1400m defeating a high-class field littered with strong Australian form. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/271ded33a43246bc9049511e9c6f1d3a.jpg" alt="" width="701" height="472" /> Following his debut December 2 year-old victory, Move To Strike was narrowly beaten at his next start by subsequent Coolmore Stud Stakes placegetter and multiple Victorian Group winner Bellatrix Star in the Group 2 Eclipse Stakes over 1200m (defeating Velocious). He returned to the track a few months later to claim the April juvenile feature where he came from last at the turn to smash a quality field including: Savaglee - Group winning 2 year-old who trained on to be NZ leading 3 year-old winning the Group 1 NZ 2000 Guineas (amongst 4 Group victories in his current 3 year-old season), before a brave 2nd in the Group 1 Australian Guineas to Feroce. Velocious - 2 year-old Karaka Millions and Group 1 Sistema Stakes winner. Captured By Love - 3 time Group winning, multiple Group 1 placed 2 year-old who trained on to win the Group 1 NZ 1000 Guineas beating Alabama Lass. Sergeant Major - Stakes winning Australian 3 year-old with Ciaron Maher. Archaic Smile - Stakes winning and G1-placed 2 year-old. An impressive individual from day one, the $525,000 2023 Magic Millions purchase from the Baramul draft, out of the multiple Group winning Shamardal mare No Evidence Needed, was selected by David Ellis CNZM on behalf of the Te Akau 2023 Stallion Breeding Syndicate. &ldquo;From the moment I set eyes on Move To Strike at the Magic Millions' sale, I knew he was something truly special. He had that unmistakable quality - a colt with real presence, athleticism, and a powerful physique, but also an intelligent and kind eye. He&rsquo;s a magnificent individual, strong and imposing yet with an absolutely superb temperament&rdquo; Ellis said. With Ellis&rsquo; selection vindicated and Move To Strike&rsquo;s 2 year-old campaign culminating in a stud career, Lovatsville&rsquo;s Sam White is understandably delighted with the outcome. &ldquo;Move To Strike is one of only two Group 1 winning 2 year-olds by Vinnie and has an exceptional pedigree and physique to complement his on-track performance. Being out of a high class, multiple Group winning and Group 1 performed Shamardal mare provides breeding buffs with confidence that this horse can take you forward. He&rsquo;s a horse for the times.&rdquo; Te Akau supremo David Ellis CNZM added &ldquo;Our team is excited that Move to Strike will be standing in Victoria this season. The Lovatsville pitch was compelling, leveraging the opportunity to have Move To Strike&rsquo;s stock become VOBIS qualified which has become an important part of our Victorian-based Cranbourne operation.&rdquo; &ldquo;Move To Strike is a stallion with all the credentials to make a significant impact on the breed - pedigree, performance, physique and mind. We can&rsquo;t wait to follow his journey as he passes on those exceptional qualities to his progeny." <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/56872e890ebf4fb6a4d67fb479f7429a.jpg" alt="" width="693" height="466" /> Underpinned by his new ownership group, Seymour Bloodstock, Te Akau and partners have committed to supporting the horse at stud with quality mares, with a base of 70 mares already on his book. With the majority of Breeding Rights sold via an early private release a limited number remain available ($44,000 incl. GST comprising 2 nominations for his first 3 seasons, with 1 annually thereafter - payable now or terms can be made available for deduction from 2026 yearling proceeds). Move To Strike&rsquo;s introductory fee of $16,500 (inc. GST) is reflective of Lovatsville&rsquo;s commitment to supporting the local breeding community with quality options at attractive prices.

<div class="author">Media Release - Monday March 24 - &ndash; LOVERACING.NZ News Desk</div>
<div class="story">
David Walsh&rsquo;s golden run continued at Riccarton on Saturday when he collected a winning double at his home track courtesy of in-form runners Zelia and Toa Haka, and now he has his sights on black-type targets.
The former champion jockey returned to the training ranks this season and he has now won four and placed in five of his 12 starts since his comeback, with the pair adding two wins apiece to his tally.

</div>
Juvenile filly Zelia has shown a lot of promise for Walsh this season and continued her upward trajectory when taking out the Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series &ndash; Noms Close 31 March (1000m) by a convincing 5-1/2 lengths, with Walsh believing the addition of blinkers were a great assist.
&ldquo;She just keeps improving and keeps putting her head in the feed bin,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Each time she has a day out she just gets better.
&ldquo;I always thought the blinkers would help her a lot after giving her a gallop in them in track work one day. You just have to wait for the right time (to use them) because they have got to be really ready to go when you use them.
&ldquo;She had two runs back from a spell, she had a trial at Ashburton 10 days before, so she was fit and ready to go, so it was a great time to put them (blinkers) on. It worked and she was too good for them.
&ldquo;The fact it was a Pearl Series race as well was great, basically being worth double the stake money.&rdquo;

While Walsh believes Zelia is suited to better footing, he is pressing on with the daughter of Fierce Impact for at least one more run in a bid to gain black-type in next month&rsquo;s Listed Riccarton Park Function Centre Welcome Stakes (1000m) at Riccarton.
&ldquo;The track is nowhere near as firm as she would like. She will go a lot better on dry ground. She seemed to skip through it (Soft7) pretty good, but she was able to pick her line and go where she wanted,&rdquo; Walsh said.
&ldquo;She is going to race on the 12th (of April) at Riccarton in a 1000m Listed two-year-old race, so while she is up and in-form she might as well have a crack at that.
&ldquo;She came through the race well, she looked beautiful yesterday, you wouldn&rsquo;t have even thought she had been anywhere.
&ldquo;There is one more race that she can start in (after the Welcome Stakes), but by then she has probably done enough, so will more likely head to the spelling paddock after her next start and have a month off and then start thinking about the spring time.&rdquo;

New Victorian stallion farm Lovatsville have formed a strategic partnership with the Australian Trainer&rsquo;s Association (ATA) designed to support trainer&rsquo;s through a series of stallion nominations aligned to upcoming races in regional Victoria this Spring.
Lovatsville will be providing two (2) nominations to each of the stallions on their 2024 roster for the winning trainers of select fillies and mares races over the coming months. To be eligible to receive the stallion nomination the winning trainer of the select races (or next best placegetter) is required to be a current member of the ATA. The trainer can either choose to use that nomination on a mare that they own themselves, or monetise within their client base.
Lovatsville founder Sam White is excited by the initiative and the opportunity to partner with the ATA "It's a robust time in business for everyone, both inside and out of the racing industry. Trainer&rsquo;s continue to be at the coal face of absorbing expenses in caring for their horses and their staff and are often the last to get paid.&rdquo;
White, who has a background in racing having spent the past 5 years with Ciaron Maher, understands the need for the breeding industry and racing sector to support each other&nbsp; &ldquo;We just want the trainers to know that we stand alongside them. We see this contribution as another way of doing circular business.&rdquo;
Stephen Bell, CEO of the ATA, is thrilled with the announcement &ldquo;It&rsquo;s fantastic that our members and their businesses will have a chance to compete for a &ldquo;bonus&rdquo; through these nominations, on top of the already fantastic prize money available in Victoria. Our trainers now have the chance to compete for an additional $100,000 in revenue created through this opportunity.&rdquo;
The Lovatsville roster looms as one of Victoria&rsquo;s most exiting, standing:
Royal Meeting: Champion Victorian 1st Season Sire and the sire of last season's Group 1 Blue Diamond filly, Hayasugi. Standing for $22,000 (incl. GST).
Fierce Impact: Three-time Group 1 winning Champion miler by Deep Impact, whose first crop 2024 yearlings sold up to $310,000. Standing for $13,750 (incl. GST).
Generation: Stunning Snitzel Group 1 performer sprinter out of star 2 year-old filly Fontition. Standing his first season for $11,000 (incl. GST).
Gold Trip: Melbourne Cup winner and Turnbull Stakes weight-for-age Champion, who is the last horse to beat globetrotting Romantic Warrior. Standing for $8,800 (incl. GST).

<div class="des_report">
ROYAL CROWNED CHAMPION (courtesy of <a href="https://www.ttrausnz.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.ttrausnz.com.au/</a>, by Keely Mckitterick) Lovatsville had plenty to cheer about at the TBV Victorian Breeding Awards on Saturday night with our first-season sire, Royal Meeting (Ire), awarded the Champion Victorian First Season Sire trophy, sponsored by FlyIRT. Royal Meeting produced this season&rsquo;s G1 Blue Diamond S. victress, Hayasugi, who also swept the G2 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) and the G3 Blue Diamond Preview (Fillies). He is also the sire of the winners Royal Majesty, Body Of Venus, and Take A Bow. Lovatsville principal Sam White told The Thoroughbred Report, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re thrilled to have Royal Meeting on the Lovatsville roster. We&rsquo;re very appreciative of Aquis and Leneva Park, who created opportunities for the stallion going forward. Quite importantly, the shareholder group has supported him strongly, and the reason he&rsquo;s having success is down to them. &ldquo;He covered more mares in his second and third season than in his first, which speaks for the quality of the foals on the ground, but also because he&rsquo;s got those numbers behind him his future looks extremely positive.&rdquo; <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/cc24c3a1e69846b2a90c4e878ae40a26.png" alt="" height="628" /> (Photo of Royal Meeting with his 1st season sire trophy yesterday morning. Photo taken by Lovatsville's Padraig O'Sullivan) &ldquo;Royal Meeting&rsquo;s Blue Diamond winner, Hayasugi, was a $47,500 purchase. Another winner, Take A Bow, was purchased for $40,000. She won in Queensland and they think she&rsquo;s a stakes horse. Then there&rsquo;s Royal Majesty, trained by Chris Bieg, who was a $65,000 yearling. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s also got horses like War Council, who sold for $7,000 as a weanling and then didn&rsquo;t meet his $40,000 reserve as a yearling. He hasn&rsquo;t won yet, but he&rsquo;s been metro-placed and has over $80,000 in prizemoney. &ldquo;Royal Meeting has had more humble opportunities compared to some other high-profile stallions, but he&rsquo;s capitalised on them. He's upgrading his mares, and that&rsquo;s all there is to it. He&rsquo;s got a good percentage of winners to runners, which puts him at the pointy end of the stallion standings, alongside the prizemoney his progeny have earned in their first season.&rdquo; The son of Invincible Spirit (Ire) is standing the 2024 season at Lovatsville, located at Seymour Park for a fee of $22,000 (inc GST) with his book filling quickly. LOVATSVILLE STALLION PARADE WEEKEND We are pleased to invite you to our first ever stallion parade weekend to inspect our brilliant roster of stallions for this coming season.

Royal Meeting continued his fine first season with Take A Bow producing an extremely impressive 4-length debut win at Gatton. Having been scratched from her initial starting point (a mid-week metro maiden), Take A Bow won in stylish fashion with her co-trainer Matt Hoysted delighted with the performance "We have a very good opinion of her and while we were expecting her to do that, it's always pleasing to see them perform, particularly after she missed the kick badly." The O'Dea/Hoysted stable will point the $40,000 Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling purchase for Jamie Walter's Proven Thoroughbreds from the Bell River draft at a Saturday city race next before aiming up at black-type targets "We do think she is a stakes filly in waiting and will measure up to that class." Take A Bow joins fellow Royal Meeting runners with Spring Stakes aims with Clint McDonald this week declaring that his brilliant Group 1 winning juvenile Hayasugi will be targeted at the Manikato and Moir Stakes double, while Chris Bieg's city-winning Royal Majesty is having a Spring plan mapped out to encompass stakes race targets. Royal Meeting sits comfortably towards the top of the first season sires table and standing at a fee of $22,000 (incl GST) represents exceptional value to the astute breeder mapping his trajectory. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/a0902ca0dfd44adf878df4410115f21e.png" alt="" height="420" />

Why does a champion trainer break a self-imposed &lsquo;no spec policy&rsquo; to buy a colt Snitzel colt with zero clients in mind and why does he still believe this horse has what it takes to be a leading sire &ndash; let&rsquo;s find out.
Inside mail is what has led a lot of trainers and bloodstock agents over the years to identify their stable stars of the future and that&rsquo;s also what led Ciaron Maher to splash out $575,000 for a Snitzel colt from Fontiton at Inglis Premier that would go on to become brilliant sprinter Generation.
A fast and precocious filly that won both the Group III MRC Blue Diamond Preview and Group II MRC Blue Diamond Prelude, Fontiton only ever had two foals before her premature passing, but Maher believes she had something special that could be the catalyst in making a stallion of the future.
Click on the video below to watch the full story behind Generation and why Ciaron why so keen to buy him as a yearling. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/5e4c76d1a3b842bfbb6a9f75c0f2a897.png" alt="" width="691" height="359" /> Standing at Lovatsville this spring at a fee of $11,000, Generation was paraded at the Inglis Great Southern Sale last week and was much admired.
