The @resracingky Kentucky Derby Week Wrap-Up! 🇺🇲🏇🎉
The trip of a lifetime for me and my partner Elisa to the Kentucky Derby has come and gone.
What an incredible experience, a once-in-a-lifetime trip where we were treated like complete VIPs and experienced everything Lexington and Louisville had to offer during Derby and Oaks week.
We cannot express our gratitude enough to @jstewartrr, @chelseyshea, and especially Sarah Stewart for the amount of time they gave us over that week.
Below is a thread 🧵 of what we were up to, including photos and videos for anyone who is interested

Arrowfield-sired 3YOs have won or placed in 48 of them since October 2021. That's a pretty good stat!

A Spring contender emerges in the Bletchingly Stakes! The Group 1 winner has toyed with them to give Andrea Leek her first Group success 🩷

With 26 ANZ Group 1 performers - more than Zoustar - Dundeel ranks highly among Australia’s proven sires, and his large, superbly bred 2024 & 2025 crops will underpin the market for his 2027 foals...

Maurice’s first crop of yearlings bred at his peak fee averaged $503,000 at Inglis Easter, with a median price of $450,000. In fact, he was one of only 8 stallions whose Easter average exceeded $500,000. These horses are the first of Maurice's 200+ best-bred progeny coming on stream now as yearlings & 2YOs.

If you look at the winning pedigrees of last season’s 25 Group 1 Australian 2YO and 3YO races, you’ll find an Arrowfield stallion in the first three generations of 21 of them.

How does Dundeel stack up? 6 Group-winning fillies in 2024/25 puts him on the heels of Snitzel, Zoustar & I Am Invincible.

2YO filly Ethereum Girl (ex Moonchild by Charge Forward) is Maurice’s 32nd SW and his 7th 2YO SW after her brave SAJC Sires’ Produce S. G3 victory. Congratulations @lindsayparkrace, Jason Holder, @mmsnippets vendor & breeder @KerryLStephens & owners Mark Needham, Daniel Kelb, David Tavoletti & Bill Nicholas!
