The potent stakes power of Pins was plain for all to see over the weekend.

The same weekend also saw the sire shine with maiden winner Elpins and with the exciting Hong Kong galloper Smart Giant.

Last season, Pins emerged as New Zealand’s leading producer of individual stake winners with 10 black-type stars.

These 2010/11 stand outs comprised:

  • Ambitious Dragon
  • Antonio Lombardo
  • Katie Lee
  • Icepin
  • Legsman
