Three of the four breeze up sessions have been held across three states with a wonderful line up of two-year-olds giving buyers a sneak peak at their racing futures.

The auction, renowned for producing domestic and international stakes horses at value prices, is ready to deliver again later this month with 140 lots catalogued.

Recent breeze up sessions at Seymour, Newcastle and Eagle Farm have been held with all lots being electronically timed by the most reliable data systems available to help buyers in their quest to find the next stars for their stable. 
All Too Hard has sired the quickest breeze up horse to date, Lot 35, a colt from Divergence.

At Seymour in Victoria some 25 juveniles breezed in impressive fashion with colts by All Too Hard and Showtime proving quickest over 200 metres at 10.36 seconds - both members of the Nolen Racing draft.

Others to impress at Seymour included stock by Hellbent (Lot 30 in 10.38), Sioux Nation (Lot 137 in 10.41), Rubick (Lot 16 in 10.46), Invader (Lot 54 in 10.52) and American Pharoah (Lot 126 in 10.53). 

Two lots presented by O'Gorman Racing looked impressive in their Newcastle breezes - the Exosphere colt (Lot 19) and Capitalist gelding (Lot 45) clocking 10.73 seconds.

Yesterday at Eagle Farm more renowned breeze up vendors presented members of their draft to prospective buyers and there were some impressive workouts. 

A filly by Jukebox (Lot 8) from Berkeley Park Stud clocked 10.56 seconds and colts by Shalaa (Lot 124 in 10.58) and Lean Mean Machine (Lot 128 in 10.67) performed well.

The A List Stud draft provided a number of quality individuals including fillies by Pride of Dubai (Lot 86 in 10.68), I Am Invincible (Lot 32 in 10.69), Exosphere (Lot 70 in 10.83) and Ribchester (Lot 104 in 10.84) and a colt by Toronado (Lot 24 in 10.85).

A final breeze up session will be held at the Eagle Farm Racecourse on Friday, 21 October.
