First Season Sires Shine on Day 2 at Classic

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 7

The second session of the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Monday proved a showcase for first season sires who provided three of the top four lots and as we head into the final day of Book 1 the first season sire standings look like this.

$550,000 The Autumn Sun  filly from Talimena.

Arrowfield Stud’s The Autumn Sun had the second highest priced yearling sold on Monday with Valiant Stud’s filly from Talimena knocked down for $550,000 to Glenn Burrows Bloodstock on behalf of New Zealand owner breeder Gary Harding.

$460,000 Harry Angel (IRE) colt from Chicquita.

Darley’s Harry Angel (IRE) is the most represented first season sire at this sale and hit a home run for Torryburn Stud when their colt from Chicquita sold for $460,000 to Roughwood Park.

Offered on behalf of Alan Osburg, the colt is the second foal of his dam, who was also bred by Mr Osburg and is a daughter of Group II winner Prisoner of Love.


$430,000 Trapeze Artist filly from Zelady's Night Out.

Widden Stud’s Trapeze Artist weighed in with a Vinery Stud consigned filly from Group III winner Zelady’s Night Out that sold for $430,000 to Suman Hedge Bloodstock.

She is the first foal of the half-sister to Group III winner Excites Zelady and importantly Comprende and I Am Zelady, two young daughters of I Am Invincible being bred to best sires.
