	Australian Racing Info - Spheno-fighting towards Caufield Cup
		Sphenophyta goes into the Caufield Cup with only 50kg, but will carry 51kg on the day to allow Nickolic (who cannot make the weight) to stay on him.
		Sphenophyta's talent did not come as a surprise to part owner and Hawthorn footabller Shane Crawford, who predicted it's future success on The Footy Show over a month ago.
		Sphenophyta, previously trained by Richard Otto in New Zealand, won the Ipswich Cup during his Queensland winter campaign before a group of Freedman's clients including Shane, and Mummify's part-owners John O'Neill and Mark Pegic bought an 80 per cent share.

		Unlike the Sphenophyta and the Lycopodophyta, many of the genera of this phylum have survived to the present day (Margulis and Schwartz 1998).
		The evolution from the Lycopodophyta to the Sphenophyta, according to Stewart et al.
		We examined 21 genera that represent the phyla Lycopodophyta, Sphenophyta and Pteridophyta of the Plant Kingdom to analyze the Lycopodophyta as it corresponds to the taxonomy of Holt (2000) and Bold et al.

		Sphenophyta lived up to the big wraps put on him by Otto when he easily won the Ipswich Cup (2150m) at his only Queensland appearance.
		Sphenophyta is booked to return to New Zealand next week but Otto has made contingency plans to stay on for the Grafton Cup (2400m) on July 13 should he not live up to expectations in the Caloundra Cup.
		Otto is unlikely to aim Sphenophyta for the Melbourne Cup (3200m) in November.

	New Zealand's source for sport, rugby, cricket & league news on Stuff.co.nz: Sphenophyta's Kelt odds tumble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Five-year-old Sphenophyta did not begin racing till last December and was still a maiden in early February.
		Sphenophyta will have his next start in the A$200,000 Caloundra Cup (2400m) on the Sunshine Coast on July 1, with a win meaning he would have passed the distance qualification for the Melbourne Cup.
		Sphenophyta will be entered for both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups but the latter would be the main target.

	A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF HORSETAILS
		The Sphenophyta are defined by their jointed hollow stems, rough texture of their hollow stems (Margulis and Schwartz, 1998; Holt, 2003), monopodial growth with leaves growing above the branches rather than beneath them in whorled patterns.
		The intent of this paper is to determine by cladistic analysis a natural classification for the proper placement for the Sphenophyta into a separate phylum of their own, as a subgroup or sister group to the Pteridiophyta.
		The Sphenophyta are distinguished by the ligules, jointed stem and elaters.

	Fossil Record of the Sphenophyta
		The first fossils that can be unambiguously placed in the Sphenophyta are Late Devonian in age.
		The Sphenophyta appear to have evolved from ancestors in the Trimerophytophyta, a paraphyletic grouping of Devonian plants that appear close to the common ancestry of sphenophytes, ferns, and higher plants.
		In particular, a group of Late Devonian plants classified in the order Hyeniales seems to be close to the ancestry of the Sphenophyta; the best-known genus, Hyenia, had massive rhizomes and recurved sporangiophores like sphenophytes, but lacked the nodes and internodes typical of sphenophytes.

	New Zealand's source for sport, rugby, cricket & league news on Stuff.co.nz: Sphenophyta sale pending (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Freedman has been negotiating to buy 60 per cent of Sphenophyta for $600,000 and the horse has been undergoing veterinary inspections for the past two days.
		The $1 million value placed on Sphenophyta is a far cry from the interest shown in the horse when he was offered as a yearling at Karaka by Goodwin.
		Sphenophyta was being set for the $1 million Kelt Capital Stakes (2040m) at Hastings on October 7 but if the sale goes through, he will be expected to head straight to Melbourne.

	Introduction to the Sphenophyta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Three hundred million years ago, a walk through a lowland forest or swamp, or along a riverbank or floodplain, would have revealed a great variety of trees, even though the familiar conifers and flowering plants of today were not present.
		Prominent among the trees of the time, and also common in the shrubbery, were plants in the Sphenophyta, distinguished by their straight stems with branches or leaves arranged in regular whorls.
		These plants are sometimes pestiferous weeds, and are somewhat toxic to livestock, but they also have medicinal value: Equisetum was used in traditional native American and Ukrainian medicine to stop bleeding, and recent research has shown that Equisetum is also effective as a diuretic.

	Horse breeding with New Zealand thoroughbred breeders, Newsletter
		Sphenophyta (NZ), which is Latin for horse-tailed moss, completed a hat-trick of wins in the Ipswich Cup for New Zealand-bred horses with his withering last-to-first burst to grab a two-length triumph over Rampant Lion (Lion Hunter x La Gypsy).
		Sphenophyta's (NZ) dam, Ballermoss, is a half-sister to classy galloper Moss Downs (NZ) (Tom's Shu x La Moss by Moss Trooper) who won nine races including two Group 1 events, the Easter Handicap and Kelt Capital Stakes.
		Sphenophyta (NZ) is the first stakes winner bred by the Goodwin brothers who first became involved in breeding and racing horses 12 years ago.

	Queensland Racing - Eagle Farm News
		Otto is part-owner of the Ipswich Cup winner Sphenophyta (G5 Groom Dancer-Ballermoss) with close friend and breeder Mark Goodwin.
		Goodwin asked Otto to view Sphenophyta as a three-year-old in the paddock and asked what he thought of the horse.
		Sphenophyta is not the easiest horse to train in the Otto stable with patience being the key factor for success.

	.:: Ipswich Turf Club ::.
		The XXXXGOLD Ipswich Cup winner Sphenophyta showed a real stamp of class rounding up the field and running from second last to 3 lengths clear in the space of 250 metres.
		It is 19 years since Distancia set a track record in the 1987 Ipswich Cup running 2-10.40 and on Saturday Sphenophyta who was eased up near home, ran 2-10.45 to come within a whisker of running a track record on a course that has been racing for 115 years.
		Jim Byrne won his third Ipswich Cup in riding Sphenophyta to victory and will be hoping to stay on this 5 year old gelding who raced for just the eighth time on Saturday.
