Torryburn Stud flagbearer Home Affairs has returned to the stable of champion trainer Chris Waller and while his yearling half-brother by Dundeel promises to be one of the stars of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, the team at Torryburn have a more immediate mission in preparing a cracking draft for Inglis Classic starting next Sunday.
