Kingstar Draft a Must Inspect at Inglis HTBA May

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Friday April 23

Basking in the glow of having bred and sold Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, the Kingstar Farm team will head to Riverside Stables for the Inglis HTBA May Yearling Sale (May 2 & 3) with a spring in their step.

Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside was bred and sold by Kingstar Farm.

Matthew Sandblom’s Hunter Valley nursery is home to three young stallions in proven sire of winners Bull Point as well as young guns Unite and Conquer and Lord of the Sky, whose first crop yearlings are among the 14 strong draft entered for this sale.

With his oldest progeny just three year-olds, Bull Point has sired 17 winners from less than three dozen runners, his winner to runner strike rate pushing close to 50%.

Those winners include stakes-placed Encountabull, Ballarat Magic Millions Clockwise Classic winner Readily Availabull and progressive three year-old filly Star Point, who was a good fourth in the Group III ATC Adrian Knox Stakes.
