Kevin Drew and his team have been busy preparing 10 quality youngsters for the Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale at Riverside Stables on Sunday and they are ready for inspection in Stable F.
Ambergate consigned Group I ATC Epsom Handicap winner and $1.5million earner Private Eye to Magic Millions Adelaide back in 2019 where he was snapped up by Proven Thoroughbreds for $62,500, so Kevin Drew knows what a good horse looks like.
He offers his thoughts on the yearlings below which include a filly by Rubick that appeals as an ideal syndicator’s horse, while a colt by Fiorente (IRE) offeres country cups potential..
