Circle Of Fire heads a Sydney Cup quinella and completes a wide-ranging double for his sire Almanzor
Leading New Zealand stallions are making a habit of showing off their versatility and class with broad-spectrum achievements at this time of the year.
Last April Savabeel stole the show during The Championships at Randwick with a Group One treble in the 1200-metre TJ Smith Stakes (I Wish I Win), 1600-metre Queen of the Turf (Atishu) and 2400-metre Australian Derby (Major Beel). Fast-forward 12 months, and Cambridge Stud shuttler Almanzor produced a black-type double at even more far-flung extremes last Saturday.
