Tara Madgwick - Thursday October 14

Australian investors have been very active in the past two weeks at the UK’s premier yearling sales Tattersalls October Book 1 and 2 reflecting a growing sentiment that it’s getting harder to find yearlings in this country with pedigree suggesting scope to run a mile and beyond, but if you’re in the market for a sprinter Australian sales are awash with opportunity.

Nine of the 12 runners in the $15million The Everest were offered for sale as yearlings with the only contestants not going through a sale being Godolphin runner Trekking (Street Cry (IRE), Gerry Harvey’s homebred mare Libertini (I Am Invincible) and Jane Kaufmann’s remarkable homebred sprinter Eduardo (Host (Chil).

Nature Strip (Nicconi) was passed in at Inglis Premier shy of his $120,000 reserve, while Classique Legend (Not a Single Doubt) was the star of the show at the 2017 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale when selling for $400,000 to Carmel Size to top the sale. He was bred and sold by Tyreel Stud.

Gytrash was a pinhook that went wrong bought as a weanling at Inglis Great Southern for $70,000 before being bought by his trainer Gordon Richards for $40,000 at Inglis Premier from the Maluka Thoroughbreds draft.

Masked Crusader sold for $340,000 at Inglis Premier and was the most expensive first crop yearling for his sire.
