Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 26

Progressive Victorian enterprise Two Bays Farm have rapidly made a name for themselves as a source of quality racetrack performers and Rob Carlile and his team are proud to present a top class draft of 13 for the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale highlighted by a stunning Written Tycoon colt with a serious stallion’s pedigree.

Lot 60 is the first horse into the ring for Two Bays and he promises to start their sale on a high!

Consigned on behalf of Makybe, the colt is a three-quarter brother-in-blood Champion NZ 2YO Filly and Group I winner La Luna Rossa from Queen’s Crown, who comes from the family of Group I producing sires Deep Field and Shooting to Win.

“He’s a big bodied horse with a lovely hind end and gaskin with a great athletic walk,” said Rob Carlile.

“This horse has done extremely well through the prep and will continue to improve as he goes along.”

Lot 153 will have plenty of admirers being a colt by leading NZ Cox Plate winning sire Ocean Park from Sonority, a half-sister by Exceed and Excel to outstanding New Zealand trained I Am Invincible mare Imperatriz, who has won two more G1 races since the catalogue went to print.

“He’s a really strong first foal that has a great presence about him and Imperatriz is taking NZ by storm and is now heading to Australia where she will no doubt measure up,” said Carlile.

“He’s been raised on farm and has really taken all before him through the prep. His tough can do attitude is as you would expect from the progeny of Ocean Park and he will only improve with time, but he also looks sharp enough to get up and run.”

Lot 304 is another youngster from the family of a current G1 superstar being from the second crop of Brave Smash (Jpn) from Blue Ocean, a winning half-sister by Fastnet Rock to stakes-winner Little Surfer Girl, the dam of $3million earning G1 winner Fangirl.

“What a filly family! She’s a late November foal that has done super well through her prep and just keeps impressing us,” Carlile enthused.

“Her lovely action with a tough demeanour is a winning combination and she’s out of a Fastnet Rock mare that is 100% winners to starters.”

Two Bays is proving a reliable source of winners with stakes performers to emerge from the nursery including Bundle of Fun, Cardigan Queen, Kubrick, Easy Eddie, I Am Eloquent and Military Zone with a new generation of Black Type performers waiting in the wings.
