First Foal From G1 Star English Sells for $1.55 Million

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 3

Newhaven Park have been enjoying a great run on the track of late with Group I ATC The Galaxy winner Mariamia and Arts, who won the Group III ATC Adrian Knox Stakes, and their good fortune continued at Inglis Easter on Monday when the first foal from their superstar mare English sold for $1.55million.

Bred and retained to race by the Kelly family, English was the Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly of her time winning six races and $3.4million with highlight wins in the BRC Ten Thousand and ATC All Aged Stakes.

The daughter of Encosta de Lago had a troubled start to her stud career with a miss and a slip in her first two seasons before hitting the jackpot on the third try with this stunning colt by I Am Invincible that was purchased by Kia Ora/ TFI/ Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott.

He will be trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, who also prepared English for the Kelly family.

 

English seems to be on track now at stud producing a colt by Snitzel last year and going back in foal, to the champion Arrowfield sire again.
