Top trainer Ciaron Maher pulled the right rein with Silver Wedding when he opted to run her at Doomben.

Maher had also accepted with our regally bred mare at Rosehill but decided to send her north and she was untroubled to account for her rivals over 1350 metres.

The Zoustar four-year-old settled three back on the fence and needed little persuasion to take a rails run and rounded off powerfully to take her record to two wins from nine appearances.

“Ciaron was very bullish about her chances, he found the right race for her,” winning rider Ryan Maloney said.

“She showed a really good turn of foot and I wouldn’t hesitate to run her over further, she was just too good for them.”

We purchased Silver Wedding from breeder Widden Stud’s draft at the 2023 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale for A$800,000.

She is a half-sister to the G1 William Reid Stakes winner Schwartz with their dam the G2 Angus Armanasco Stakes winner Summer Sham,

She is a daughter of Not A Single Doubt and hails from the decorated family of multiple Group 1 winner and champion sire Redoute’s Choice.

His half-brothers Platinum Scissors and Manhattan Rain were also top-flight winners while their half-sister The Broken Shore is the dam of multiple elite level winner Shoals.

Argo has raced creditably in strong maiden company during his brief career, so it was no surprise to see him breakthrough in style at Te Aroha.

The Tony Pike-trained three-year-old was given a positive ride by apprentice Sam McNab from the outside gate and strolled home to be out on his own by three lengths at the end of 1400 metres.

Our homebred son of resident stallion Almanzor had previously finished third behind subsequent Group 1 star Well Written when resuming and then ran fourth to Miss Fladgate, who has since also won again.

Those performances saw him sent out favourite and he gave supporters no concerns, jumping well to sit outside the leader and quickly put the issue beyond doubt when he took control 350 metres from home.

Argo’s dam is the late Snitzel mare Untamed Diamond, who was a quality performer and won on seven occasions up to 1200 metres, including success in the Listed Waikato Sprint.

She joined our broodmare band after we purchased her for A$200,000 at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale, but sadly Argo was her last foal.

He was sold at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $80,000 and we remained in the ownership group, which includes purchaser Pike and former Group 1-winning jockey Leith Innes.

Signoretti capped off the promising start he’s made to his career under trainer Mark Walker’s guidance with a well-earned victory at Tatura.

Rider Liam Riordan donned our colours aboard the three-year-old and they comfortably justified their short odds to score over 1450 metres.

The son of our shuttle stallion Hello Youmzain understandably came in for strong support after finishing runner-up in three of his previous five appearances.

He was quickly into stride to settle on the leader’s quarters before striding to the front at the top of the straight and held a strong gallop to have a length on his closest pursuer.

We purchased Signoretti from breeder Westbury Stud’s draft for A$100,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

His mother is the I Am Invincible mare I Am Grande, a granddaughter of the G1 Coolmore Classic winer Bollinger while the third dam is the G1 Golden Slipper Stakes winner Bint Marscay.
