The Victorian breeding industry continues to be the market leader in the country and the proof in the pudding was there for all to see on the $1 million Nutrien Sales Classic night at Wagga on Saturday.

Six of the eight Final winners – including all four trotting deciders – were bred by breeders from south of the border.

Kahula, a filly owned by Ballarat breeders Bruce and Vicki Edward, started the ball rolling when she soundly trounced her rivals in the $200,000 final for two-year-old fillies. By the siring colossus Bettor’s Delight, she is the second foal of the dual Vicbred champion Kualoa.
