At Randwick this Saturday, Militarize will be seeking to follow in the footsteps of King’s Legacy, who won the Group I ATC Sires Produce Stakes in 2020 and then followed up to win the Champagne Stakes and that earned the blue-blood son of Redoute’s Choice a place on the Coolmore roster and his first weanlings will be offered at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale next month.
A $1.4million yearling purchase for James Harron Bloodstock and a close relation to champion sire Not a Single Doubt, King’s Legacy is the complete package and as a result was the most popular first season sire when he went to stud in 2021 covering 212 mares.
King’s Legacy is the most represented first season sire at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale on May 1 and 2 with 20 entries that are sure to generate plenty of interest from vendors: Bell River Thoroughbreds, Coolmore, Fairhill Farm, Golden Grove, Mullaglass Stud, Sledmere Stud, Torryburn Stud and Tyreel Stud.
Lot 196 from Torryburn Stud is an interesting entry that has the potential of a big pedigree update.
She is from metro winning Street Cry (IRE) mare Progressive, who is a full sister to the dam of this season’s stakes-winning colt Tom Kitten, who won the Listed ATC Fernhill Handicap and runs in the Group I ATC Champagne Stakes on Saturday.
Respected breeders Senga Bissett and Ivan Woodford-Smith of Ashleigh Thoroughbreds are in the process of winding down their business in preparation for retirement and have three King’s Legacy weanlings as part of their dispersal as follows.
