Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 4

Torryburn Stud has a long list of successful graduates, either bred, sold or raised at the East Gresford farm that includes Group I winners Dixie Blossoms, El Dorado Dreaming, Terravista, rising stars Aysar and Home Affairs, as well as Group I winning Hong Kong based sprinter Hot King Prawn, who has a full brother to be offered at Inglis Classic next Tuesday.

Hot King Prawn was purchased from the Torryburn draft at the 2016 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale for $90,000 and has gone on to become one of the best sprinters in Hong Kong winning 12 races and over $A5.7million in prizemoney. His Group I success is not the first to come from a Torryburn Inglis Classic draft as they also sold Peggy Jean back in 2013.


The full brother to Hot King Prawn will be one of the highlights of the sale and the Denman colt from De Chorus comes up on Tuesday as Lot 561.

A first foal who is a very forward, strong 2YO type from the well related mare McCartney, a half sister to Group II winner Serena Miss and stakes-placed Gifted Lad. A filly that will be tough and should go early.

Lot 249 - click to see his page.

A quality strong fluent moving colt from the city winning Street Cry mare Progressive, he comes from the Twyla brand of the famed Dancing Show family.

From the first crop of dual Group I winning sprinter Caravaggio. An incredibly racy type of colt that fills the eye with this muscular physique. His dam has had five foals to race for four winners and a place-getter and this colt can add to her record.
