An interesting feature of the 2005-06 New Zealand Group & Listed Stakes race programme is the striking success being achieved by owner-breeders.
Of the 106 black type races held this season to 8 March, 49 (46.2%) have been won by 37 horses that are wholly or partly owned by their breeders.
The list comprises:
8 Group One winners: Baldessarini, Bazelle, Darci Brahma, Gee I Jane, Kristov, Miss Potential, Pentane and Seachange
7 Group Two winners: Kerry O'Reilly, Naturo, Pulcinella, Sculptor, Shikoba, Viennetta and Zarius
8 Group Three winners: All Square, Chant, Haylee Baylee, Legs, Leigh Valley, Millennium, Molta and Shinko Bay
14 Listed Stakes winners: Arlington Boulevard, Bus Us, Darcybee, Irish Rover, King Of Ashford, Lilakyn, Mr Hefner, Northern Beau, Pushy Too, Shanamann, Vegas Showgirl, Viz Vitae, Willie Ryan and Xbert
