A Pinhook Triumph for Fernrigg Farm

Mark Smith - Tuesday February 9

An $8,000 Inglis Digital weanling purchase eleven months ago has turned in to a $200,000 windfall for Fernrigg Farm on day three of the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale..

The colt by Nicconi out of the recently deceased Delago Brom mare  Final Star was the subject of spirited bidding before David Raphael / Gerald Ryan had the final say at $200,000.

A half-brother to four winners, the colt has had a major pedigree upgrade in recent times.
