Every young stallion needs a headline horse and for Royal Meeting, brilliant two-year-old filly Hayasugi was responsible for some proper front page material.Conceived out of the sire's very first crop, the 2024 Group 1 Blue Diamond winner was a standout filly of her generation but was tragically lost early in her three-year-old season after a narrow second against older horses in the Group 1 Moir Stakes.Just as Royal Meeting won a major Group 1 race as a juvenile, Hayasugi followed in his hoofprints with her stunning Blue Diamond victory; her sire's speed, class and quality to the fore in one of Australia's top two-year-old contests.Her racetrack legacy set an impressive benchmark for her sire, but a new high-water mark is on the horizon with Royal Meeting's best crop of yearlings turning heads.Royal Meeting covered his biggest book of mares during the 2024 breeding season with leading breeders rallying behind the stallion on the back of Hayasugi's success, with 129 mares visiting the Lovatsville based stallion.85 foals are on the ground and now yearlings, with 17.5% of those young horses the progeny of Stakes winning or placed mares, the highest ratio of black type performers that the stallion has covered during his career.The timing couldn't be better with two smart winners in Hong Kong for trainer Mark Newnham, and numerous multiple winners in Australia that have trained on and climbed the grades, much like the progeny of other sire sons of Invincible Spirit, I Am Invincible (Imperatriz, Viddora, Hellbent), Kingman (Zardozi, Palace Pier, Kinross) and Territories (Lazzat, Berkeley Square, Kings Valley).Couple those proven performers with young local talent coming through the ranks including Henry Dwyer's On A Journey, heavily backed on debut at Sandown before an eye catching run over 1000m, Adelaide two-year-old winner Tully Heart, and wide margin trial winner Royal Canvas; there are plenty of irons in the Royal Meeting fire this racing season.A proven source of elite Group 1 progeny and with his highest quality crop of yearlings about to hit the sales, Royal Meeting is set to ride a rising tide with the progeny of mares bred in 2026 set to sell as weanlings and yearlings on the back of his best crop's two-year-old and three-year-old season.Smart breeders with an eye for value and an appetite for profit will recognise the opportunity this breeding season.Highlight mares with Royal Meeting foals on the ground: - Bam's On Fire, Group 3 winner- Belfast Lass, dam of Group 3 winner Knight's Realm (Royal Meeting)- Blessit, dam of Group 3 placed Bless Her- Exclusive Lass, Listed winner, dam of Listed winner Lassified- Express Power, Listed winner- Flying Snitzel, Group 2 &amp; Group 3 winner- Grey River, Listed winner- La Rocque, Group 3 winner- Magnanime, Listed winner, dam of Group 2 runner-up Eureka Rebel- Monopole, Group 3 winner- Queen Of Wands, Group 3 placed- Risque, Group 1, Group 3 &amp; Listed winner- Siwa Lady, Listed winner- Testa Secret, Listed winner- The Front Bar, Listed placed

Sam White

Although lost to the sport before the 2025 breeding season, the legacy of former four-time Australian Champion Stallion Snitzel is destined to be carried forward by his sire sons.&nbsp;Shamus Award, Russian Revolution, Trapeze Artist, Wild Ruler are Snitzel sons that have left their mark at stud, and more recently New Zealand based Sword Of State has joined that list.There are in fact, some undeniable comparisons to be made between Sword Of State and Generation, perhaps indicators of the success that lies ahead for the young Lovatsville bull.Both stallions are of course by Snitzel, and both carry their sire's physical strength and power. Short coupled, strong, and sharp, both have bodies built for speed. Generation is by the brilliant multiple stakes winning juvenile Fontiton, while Sword Of State's dam In The Vanguard was a debut winner at two and Group placed.Ciaron Maher went to $575,000 to buy Generation at the 2020 Gold Coast Magic Millions Sale, David Ellis went to $600,000 to buy Sword Of State at the very same sale.Both were lightning fast two-year-olds, Generation unbeaten in two metropolitan starts while Sword Of State won four of his five two-year-old starts including the Group 1 Sistema Stakes.Generation trained on at three, winning the Group 3 Red Anchor Stakes and finishing on the heels of Australia's best sprinters when a close fourth in the Group 1 Manikato and Group 1 Moir Stakes, matching it with the likes of Group 1 stars Bella Nippotina, Coolangatta, Rothfire, and September Run.Sword Of State also trained on to win at Group 3 level at three, but his best Group 1 result that season was 13th in the Coolmore Stud Stakes behind Home Affairs.While Sword Of State was retired at the end of his three-year-old season, Generation trained on and continued to test the likes of Asfoora and Imperatriz in high quality Group races in Australia.With a head start at stud Sword Of State has hit the ground running with precocious early types the likes of Warwoven, sensationally scratched as favourite for the Magic Millions 2yo Classic, Debutant Stakes winner and Karaka Millions placegetter Torture.Convinced yet? Well, if the comparisons are anything to go by, supporters of Generation might be in for a real boon if Sword Of State's trajectory is anything to go by. Initially offered at NZ$15,000, Sword Of State's fee has climbed to NZ$50,000 in 2026.Generation, a horse undeniably similar on many scorecards, stands at $6600 inc GST in 2026. As they say, there's a dollar to be had by supporting Generation this season.Breeders looking to reduce their risk even further should consider sending a daughter, or granddaughter, of Written Tycoon to Generation if early black type statistics are any guide to the future.Although Written Tycoon has had only moderate success statistically as a broodmare sire with 13 stakes winners at a SW/R ratio of 3.3%, his SW/R ratio more than doubles with a Snitzel line stallion over the top, leaping to 7.32%.Outstanding Tasmanian filly Sanniya, and stakes winners Snitzel Dancer and Foreign Press are leading the charge with some very exciting new season two-year-olds also carrying the cross.If there's such a thing as a match made in heaven, maybe Snitzel and Written Tycoon is it.Put Written Tycoon over Snitzel mares and you get a similar result, with 8.23% SW/R, more than double Snitzel's ratio as a broodmare sire, including Caulfield Guineas winner Private Life and Group 1 winners Velocious and Captured By Love.

Victorian stallion farm Lovatsville has confirmed the continuation of its celebrated partnership with the Australian Trainers' Association (ATA) for a third consecutive season, cementing what has quickly become one of the most innovative intersections between the Victorian racing and breeding industries.The initiative sees Lovatsville provide stallion nominations to winning trainers of 20 select races scheduled across metropolitan and regional Victoria from Sunday 19 July through to Monday 7 September 2026, with more than $155,000 worth of nominations available exclusively to ATA members who take out eligible races.To be eligible to receive the stallion nomination, the winning trainer of each select race — or the next best placegetter — must be a current ATA member. The trainer can choose to use the nomination on a mare of their own, or monetise it within their client base.“Reaching our third year of this partnership feels like a genuine milestone. What started as something we hoped would resonate with trainers has clearly hit the mark, and we have been inspired by the response from the industry. Trainers are at the coalface of this sport every single day — absorbing costs, backing horses, backing owners — and this is our way of backing them. We’re also really excited to be able to include Espionage in the program this year. He’s a horse we’re incredibly proud to have at Lovatsville and we look forward to giving trainers the chance to win a nomination to him.”— Sam White, Founder, Lovatsville“On behalf of the ATA and its members, I’m delighted to continue this partnership with Sam and the team at Lovatsville into its third year. What Sam has built here is a genuine model for how our breeding and racing sectors can work together. Our trainers put everything into this industry, and having partners like Lovatsville who understand that and want to reward them for their effort is something we are enormously grateful for. The chance to win a nomination to a stallion of real quality — and to either use it or pass that value on to a client — is a meaningful bonus on top of winning the race itself.”— Troy Corstens, President, Australian Trainers’ Association“Credit to Sam and the team at Lovatsville for creating this concept and growing it into the success that it is today alongside the ATA. Winning a service to a stallion based in their own backyard is a great prize for Victorian trainers, and the perfect intersection between trainers and the local breeding industry. The RV team is looking forward to seeing this initiative enter its third year and see which trainers are successful across the 20 races.”— Josh Grimwood, Racing Operations &amp; VOBIS/Owner Manager, Racing VictoriaThe 2026 Lovatsville RosterEspionage: NEW – A multiple Group-winning 2-year-old son of Champion Sire Zoustar, a $1 million Magic Millions yearling purchased by James Harron, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.

(homepage) Lovatsville and the Australian Trainers' Association renew partnership for a third successive season

New arrival ESPIONAGE leads a six-horse roster combining speed, stamina and the world’s best bloodlines at value fees.<div>Lovatsville has unveiled its 2026 stallion roster — a six-horse line-up headlined by the arrival of ESPIONAGE and built, top to bottom, around fees pitched with a breeders-first mentality.A multiple Group-winning two-year-old son of Champion Sire Zoustar, a $1 million Magic Millions yearling prepared throughout his racing career by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Espionage has the looks, pedigree and profile to make an immediate impact. Lovatsville’s Sam White is delighted to have secured the horse, with Coolmore retaining an interest.<img data-mce-id="__mcenew" src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/c6d376ef75454ca3b3cb555e740ac5bd.jpg" alt="">“He is a great coup for our farm and for Victoria, and Coolmore’s continued backing underlines his credentials in this market,” said White. “He’s a beautifully coloured stallion with a fabulous Zoustar-styled head — a brilliant loose mover with a plunging girth and a great shoulder. He has scope, short cannons, great length to his hocks, and an outstanding demeanour.”Champion trainer Gai Waterhouse was equally enthusiastic.“He was a precocious two-year-old, a sensational horse with enormous speed who did everything so easily,” Waterhouse said. “He has a fabulous temperament, which is so important. He’s as good-looking a colt as you will find, and being a fast son of Zoustar with looks like his, I know breeders will be very impressed when they see him.”After finishing as the second-most active freshman sire of 2025, MOVE TO STRIKE holds firm at $16,500 incl.&nbsp;GST — exceptional value on the back of an extraordinary twelve months for the I Am Invincible sireline. Move To Strike was the first Group 1 winning two-year-old ever produced by I Am Invincible, and on the strength of what the sireline has delivered through the past year — including the feats of Home Affairs and Hellbent — he looks an incredibly exciting prospect.<img data-mce-id="__mcenew" src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/526b6b455be745358fcabdfe3d9f88d1.jpg" alt="">“Move To Strike was a revelation for us last season — he was well supported in a competitive market, with breeders impressed by his physique, his juvenile form and his brilliant pedigree,” White added. “He’s deep, dark, strong, and has a fantastic temperament. He’s got the head, hip and girth we expect to see as dominant attributes in his foals, and for all that his sireline has achieved in the past twelve months, he looks like a free lick of the ice cream at $16,500.”Now into their third seasons at stud, GOLD TRIP and GENERATION both represent outstanding value given their credentials. Gold Trip, a world-class weight-for-age star, returns at a remarkable $5,500 incl.&nbsp;GST, down from $8,800. Generation — a fast, precocious Snitzel-line colt with the same race-record and sale-price profile as Sword of State (now $50,000) — stands at $6,600 incl.&nbsp;GST, the same fee at which Written Tycoon stood in his third season.“We have a few interesting deals and initiatives in place this season. One of them is an additional 25% discount on Generation’s fee for any Written Tycoon-line mares that visit him,” White noted. “It’s an exceptional cross, and one we’d like to exploit.”Rounding out the roster at the value tier, ROYAL MEETING and FIERCE IMPACT both stand at $8,800 incl.&nbsp;GST. Royal Meeting is the sire of a Group 1 winning two-year-old from his first crop in Hayasugi, and is quietly building a real profile in Hong Kong.“Royal Meeting covered 129 quality mares in 2024, so he has great strength coming through,” he continued. “You’re able to access a Group 1-producing sire, with a trade profile, at a very attractive fee.”Fierce Impact, meanwhile, continues to return over 8% black-type performers to runners — a strike rate that holds its own against any stallion in Australia at any fee.“The Deep Impact sireline improves with age, time and distance, which is exactly what Fierce Impact did himself,” he said. “We continue to receive positive feedback from trainers who have his stock in their yards, and we look forward to seeing the sireline demonstrate its class in this part of the world — led by Sheza Alibi.”Reflecting on the season ahead, White concluded:“We’ve taken the view this year that we meet the market. It’s a competitive game, and the industry is healthy — but when conditions are challenging, we need to be sure we’re on the journey with everyone in it. We have some exciting initiatives in play, some interesting discounts and opportunities — and we welcome your phone call to discuss the possibilities.”<div><div><hr></div></div>2026 LOVATSVILLE STALLION ROSTER<table class="Table" width="0%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td>Stallion</td><td>2026 Service Fee (incl.&nbsp;GST)</td></tr><tr><td>ESPIONAGE</td><td>$11,000 (New in 2026)</td></tr><tr><td>MOVE TO STRIKE</td><td>$16,500 (no change)</td></tr><tr><td>ROYAL MEETING</td><td>$8,800 (reduced from $22,000)</td></tr><tr><td>FIERCE IMPACT</td><td>$8,800 (reduced from $13,750)</td></tr><tr><td>GENERATION</td><td>$6,600 (reduced from $11,000)</td></tr><tr><td>GOLD TRIP</td><td>$5,500 (reduced from $8,800)</td></tr></tbody></table><div><div>Enquiries: Sam White, Lovatsville 0408 123 428 or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:sam@lovatsville.com">sam@lovatsville.com</a></div></div></div>

Reduced from $8,800. A four-season, world-ranked Group 1 performer from an Aga Khan family &mdash; genetically built for the Classics.
Lovatsville has set Gold Trip&rsquo;s service fee at $5,500 (incl. GST) for the 2026 season &mdash; down from $8,800 &mdash; opening one of the best performed racehorses currently at stud to a far wider book of mares.
With 4 of the last 7 winners of the Melbourne Cup being bred in Australasia and the 3 year-old Oaks and Derby&rsquo;s being predominantly won by locally bred horses, Gold Trip&rsquo;s performance, physique and pedigree make him an unbelievable value for money proposition when looking to breed a Classic winner. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/100023c8920642cd8ea580f7e2171504.jpg" alt="" width="698" height="465" />
For four consecutive seasons, Gold Trip held a place inside the world&rsquo;s top 120 horses on the official rankings &mdash; earned in the deepest weight-for-age and middle-distance company on offer in Europe and Australia. At three he was fourth in the Prix de l&rsquo;Arc de Triomphe, beaten less than a length and a half behind Sottsass, In Swoop and Persian King. At four, carrying 58 kg, he ran the Group 1 winner Mare Australis to a length and a half in the Prix Ganay and was beaten a nose into third in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.
With Ciaron Maher and David Eustace he then did something only one other horse has managed in the modern Australian record: contested the Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup in two consecutive years, winning, placing or running honestly in every one. The previous horse was Rising Fast &mdash; in the 1950s. His Turnbull Stakes win at Flemington &mdash; beating Romantic Warrior by more than three lengths at weight-for-age over the Classic distance &mdash; stands among the most striking WFA performances of the decade. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/3f4547e5ed4c4749b24151c9fba8bad3.jpg" alt="" width="697" height="465" />

(homepage)(gold-trip) Gold Trip to stand for $5,500 (incl. GST) for 2026 season

Multiple Group-winning 2-year-old Espionage, the stunning $1,000,000 Magic Millions yearling son of Champion sire Zoustar, will join the Lovatsville roster in 2026 at an introductory fee of $11,000 (incl. GST).
A boom early-season 2-year-old with blistering speed, Espionage won the time-honoured Group 3 Breeders' Plate over 1000m on debut&mdash;a race previously won by recent sire stars Snitzel, Sebring, Choisir, Capitalist, Pierro, and Charge Forward.
Espionage returned in the autumn to win the Group 3 ATC Kindergarten Stakes over 1100m in devastating fashion, emulating Bivouac, Forensics, Solar Charged, Belle Du Jour, and Snowland as a winner of the prestigious race.
Bred by Gerry Harvey&rsquo;s Baramul Stud and purchased by lauded judge James Harron, he was entrusted to the care of renowned juvenile conditioners, the legendary sire-maker Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. Their preparation and handling helped create the progressive Espionage story that unfolded throughout his 2-year-old career. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/ddba2ce708284523a95250acd3446d4a.jpg" alt="" width="689" height="459" />
Espionage&rsquo;s high-class juvenile performances, coupled with the colt's striking good looks, prompted Coolmore and their partners to swoop in on a multi-million-dollar deal to acquire the majority of the horse. An untimely injury on the cusp of his 3-year-old season put paid to Everest ambitions for connections, but it highlighted the immense regard and enormous upside they felt he possessed.
Lovatsville&rsquo;s Sam White is delighted to secure the horse with Coolmore retaining an interest.
&ldquo;He is a great coup for our farm and for Victoria, and to have Coolmore&rsquo;s continued backing underlines his credentials in this market,&rdquo; said White. &ldquo;He is a beautifully coloured stallion with a fabulous Zoustar-styled head. A brilliant loose mover with a plunging girth and great shoulder. He has scope, short cannons, great length to his hocks, and has an outstanding demeanour.&rdquo;
Champion trainer Gai Waterhouse enthusiastically endorsed the prospects of Espionage standing at Lovatsville.
&ldquo;He was very much a precocious 2-year-old, a sensational horse with enormous speed who did everything so easily,&rdquo; Waterhouse noted. &ldquo;He has such a fabulous temperament, which is so important. He is as good-looking a colt as you will find, and being a fast son of Zoustar with looks like his, I know that breeders will be very impressed when they see him.&rdquo;
His pedigree adds significant appeal, being by Champion sire and commercial sales ring success Zoustar, out of a quality city-winning Street Cry mare, and a grandson of Magic Millions winner Military Rose by the renowned speed influence General Nediym.
&ldquo;With his looks, pedigree, performance, and price point, he is your commercial 'look and book' moneymaker,&rdquo; White added.
With 50 quality mares already committed to Espionage through a strong shareholder syndicate, he has the right backing and credentials to make an immediate impact on the Australasian breeding and racing scene, profiling very similarly to the likes of I Am Invincible and Written Tycoon.
Espionage will stand at an introductory fee of $11,000 (incl. GST).

(homepage)(espionage) Lovatsville Welcomes Top 2-Year-Old, Million-Dollar Zoustar Son 'Espionage' to Stud

A big week with a story still unfolding for I Am Invincible and his barnstorming sons. Credit to the team at Yarraman who took the initial punt on the G3 DC McKay Stakes winner I Am Invincible - the now 3 times Champion sire. It&rsquo;s a bandwagon we&rsquo;ve unashamedly jumped aboard and are delighted for the partners and supporters of our very own son of Vinny, Move To Strike whose star clings to his wave of success. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/3e4d11aff702495e807c1151a9bd57b3.jpg" alt="" width="692" height="462" /> Move To Strike (photo: Lovatsville) Here&rsquo;s why: I Am Invincible&rsquo;s first season sire Home Affairs took all before him through four busy seasons at stud, underpinned by breeder support that culminated in sales ring success. Now he has achieved the ultimate in on track success with Guest House&rsquo;s resounding Group 1 Golden Slipper win. His stock at the sales have been strong, substantial horses capable of absorbing and excelling in at the elite level of racing. You just feel there is more to come. What is he worth to the no-doubt circling stallion farms with multi-million dollars cheques to have him stand at stud? $20, $30 or $40 million? What will he stand at? $60, $70, $80, $100,000 or more? <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/1ecfd6bc8a974b52a5058468fb29970e.png" alt="" width="691" height="458" /> Home Affairs (photo: Coolmore) Move To Strike presents similarly. He has strength, substance and quality and I am looking forward to the arrival of his first foals. 143 top mates sent by astute Victorian breeders and we expecting a number of a big, strong, dark sexy foals to hit the ground, built in that Home Affairs style. Move To Strike stood his first season at a fee of $16,500 incl. GST, a fee where breeder&rsquo;s can scale a return. Hellbent, the Group 1 winning sprinter and Group 1 sire son of Vinny added another strong to his bow, siring a dominant, record breaking Hong Kong Derby winner Invincible Ibis. Already the sire of Group 1 winning sprinters Magic Time and Benedetta, alongside progressive types Savvy Hallie and Vivy Air, Hellbent is replicating another typical trait of Vinny&rsquo;s firepower in producing horses that train on deep into their careers. This longevity and progression of his stock augurs well for the likes of Guest House and other sons of Vinny with stud aspirations. A sales ring success, stock that train on, versatility in the market for traders and a service fee and profile that rises season on season. <img src="https://www.prism.horse/api/public/image/f9dff5f34d664fa4bcbdc20b12ecaf12.png" alt="" width="691" height="458" /> Hellbent's Hong Kong Derby winner Invincible Ibis (photo: Inglis) Yulong this week announced the retirement of their Group 1 winning 2 year-old son of Vinny, the Matt Laurie trained ATC Sires Produce winner (1400m) Vinrock. Another exciting chapter in the story of Vinny&rsquo;s sons at stud, and following in the footsteps of our own Move To Strike, who was a pre-Christmas 2 year-old winner and the first Group 1 winning 2 year-old by I Am Invincible ever. A $525,000 Magic Millions graduate to famed judge David Ellis, Move To Strike is out of multiple Group winning and Group 1 performed sprinting Shamardal mare No Evidence Needed. He&rsquo;s dark, strong and dominant and looms as the likely successor to juvenile sire star Brazen Beau, the VOBIS pin-up boy for so long. We're thankful to the breeders to have underpinned him with quality in year one, all 143 of them providing the market with a great platform to follow him in second season. Move To Strike will be standing again at $16,500 incl GST - give us a call to discuss him. We&rsquo;re as excited about the Vinny bandwagon as anyone. #IAmInvincible #Yarraman #HomeAffairs #GuestHouse #Hellbent #Vinrock #BrazenBeau #MoveToStrike

First run in 1968 and previously featured on Caulfield Cup Day, the Group 3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes enters an exciting new era in 2025. This year the race boasts a significant prizemoney increase to $1,000,000, a date shift, and a new name &ndash; THE MOVE TO STRIKE THOROUGHBRED CLUB STAKES - reflecting its growing stature as the premier Spring Sprint for three year old fillies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Previous winners of the race include Group 1 stars such as Sunlight, Earthquake and Platelet. The Melbourne Racing Club and The Thoroughbred Club are proud to announce a new partnership with Lovatsville first season sire Move To Strike, marking the next chapter in the race&rsquo;s evolution.
The $1,000,000 feature joins a blockbuster Caulfield program on November 15, alongside the $1,000,000 Sportsbet C.F. Orr Stakes, the Group 2 Sportsbet Sandown Guineas, Group 3 Sportsbet How Now Stakes, Group 3 Tile Importer Summoned Stakes and Listed Sportsbet Village Stakes.
MRC Chairman Cameron Fisher said the move marks an exciting new chapter for the race.
&ldquo;Currently a Group 3 event, the MRC is striving for the Thoroughbred Club Stakes to be upgraded to Group 1 status, given the absence on the Australian racing calendar of a 1200m Group 1 contest for three year old fillies,&rdquo; said Fisher.
&ldquo;This new partnership reflects the shared ambition of the MRC, The Thoroughbred Club and the breeding industry&rsquo;s commitment to the race.&rdquo;
Standing at Lovatsville, a fledgling young Stallion Station based in Nagambie&rsquo;s Golden Triangle on Seymour Park -alongside powerhouse International farms Godolphin, Yulong and Swettenham - Move To Strike is the &lsquo;talk&rsquo; Victoria&rsquo;s first-season sires. At his introductory fee of $16,500 (inc. GST), he is covering an impressive first book of over 140 mares at Lovatsville.
A black adonis with movie star good looks and an outstanding pedigree, Move To Strike made history as the first Group 1 winning two year-old by Champion sire I Am Invincible, storming from last to first to beat 3 other individual Group 1 winners in the Group 1 Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes over 1400m.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Major partners of Move To Strike&rsquo;s ownership group include Seymour Park principals Darren Thomas and Mark Pilkington, who, along with former Thoroughbred Club President Gary Lechte, won the 2022 edition of the Thoroughbred Club Stakes with English Riviera. Thomas and Pilkington also share in the ownership of this season&rsquo;s Caulfield Cup winner Half Yours and Brayden Star who recently won the Herbert Power Stakes.
Lovatsville studmaster Sam White noted the strong connection between their roster and the MRC&rsquo;s Spring features, adding the Move To Strike partnership is delighted to be associated with such a historically significant and now aspirational race.&nbsp;
&lsquo;We&rsquo;re fans of what the MRC are doing and very much appreciate the commitment to the industry that the Move To Strike ownership group are demonstrating with this exciting new partnership,&rdquo; said White.
&ldquo;Alongside Move To Strike we also stand Royal Meeting who sired Clint Macdonald&rsquo;s star filly Hayasugi who clean swept the MRC&rsquo;s 2023 Blue Diamond series, our Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip was placed in two Caulfield Cups and of course the Toorak was one of three Group 1 mile races that Fierce Impact won. Snitzel&rsquo;s precocious son Generation won a Group 3 at the Heath as well so we can&rsquo;t wait till progeny of Move to Strike get to strut their stuff at Caulfield.&rdquo;

Fledgling Victorian stallion farm Lovatsville have continued their strategic partnership with the Australian Trainer&rsquo;s Association (ATA) in an initiative that is designed to support trainers through a series of stallion nominations aligned to upcoming races in regional Victoria this Spring.
Lovatsville will be providing a series of nominations to each of the stallions on their 2025 roster for the winning trainers of select regional races over the coming months. To be eligible to receive the stallion nomination the winning trainer (or next best placegetter) of the select races 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 clientbase.
Lovatsville founder Sam White is delighted to continue the partnership, growing it even further in race opportunities and nominations value ``It is a challenging time for all businesses, in all industries, with the rise in costs leaving their mark. We hope that our support of the trainers, who are often at the coalface of expense in caring for the horse, helps ease the financial pressures that we know a number of them are facing.&rdquo;
Stephen Bell, CEO of the ATA, is thrilled to continue the partnership with Lovatsville off the back of popular member support from the 2024 iteration with the likes of Malua Racing, Matt Cumani and Archie Alexander winning nominations &ldquo;This announcement continues the great strides we are making on behalf of our members, rewarding them for the contribution to the industry. They now have the opportunity to compete for a &ldquo;bonus&rdquo; $170,000 through these nominations, on top of the already fantastic prize money available in Victoria.&rdquo;
Racing Victoria CEO Aaron Morrison lauded the initiative &ldquo;We commend Sam White and the team at Lovatsville for their positive initiative in conjunction with the ATA which further rewards those competing here in Victoria. It&rsquo;s great to see the intersection between our racing and breeding sectors, both of which are going from strength to strength.&rdquo;
Lovatsville, located at Seymour Park in Victoria on Northwood Rd, Seymour, has a five-strong roster of proven, commercial sires: Move To Strike: The only Group 1 winning 2 year-old to ever stand at stud by I Am Invincible. Standing for $16,500 (incl. GST). Royal Meeting: Champion Victorian 1st Season Sire and the sire of 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 second crop yearlings sold to $400,000.&nbsp; Standing for $13,750 (incl. GST).

Brilliant Bisc) who was a $110,000 foal purchase from the Sydney Weanling Sales for her trainer Simon Miller was an impressive winner at Belmont over 1200m, breaking her maiden following a 2 year-old campaign that saw her run 4th in a Listed race on debutover an unsuitable 1000m.&nbsp; The classy filly flopped out of the gates to be a clear last before settling at the rear of the field, weaving her way through a big field to hit the line strongly, showing her mettle and setting up bigger targets for the future. The stable immediately announced post-race that she will now have her sights set on the Group 3 Champion Fillies Stakes, run over a mile in November through the Perth Carnival, a race that has previously been won byArcadia Queen, Delicacy, Samovare, Miss Rose de Lago, Fuddle de Duddle etc Fine Star adds to Fierce Impact's developing record and upcoming stakes success could see her black-type record complement that of current Group 2-placed Yokozuna and Listed-placed Zelia, both winners in New Zealand who are targeting stakes races in the coming weeks.&nbsp; The 3-time Group 1 winning miler and exceptionally fertile Fierce Impact stands at a few of $13,750 (including GST) with a limited number of discounted nominations still available.
