Daniel Brash and his team at Murchison based Collingrove Stud are poised for action at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale with a draft of 19 to offer including two cracking colts by Toronado (IRE) and a stunning colt by leading European sire Night of Thunder (IRE).
Their first horse into the ring is a super flashy youngster from a fast family of fillies that is sure to turn heads.

This colt is the fifth foal from well related Exceed and Excel mare Seagrove, whose dam is a sister to Group I winner Hill of Grace and Group II winner Renewable.

He has the sort of pedigree that drives Australian buyers to European sales and is from a full sister Group III VRC Lexus Stakes winner Signoff, who was also fourth in the Melbourne Cup.
