Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 19

The yearling sales continue at Riverside Stables on Sunday with the Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale and proven Group I Hunter Valley nursery Kingstar Fam will present a draft of 10 including four by their promising first season sire Unite and Conquer.

Kingstar bred and sold Golden Slipper winning colt Stay Inside, who covered his first book of mares last spring and have enjoyed further stakes success as a vendor this season through quality filly Wollombi.

A $200,000 Magic Millions purchase from their draft for Snowden Racing, the daughter of Extreme Choice has won four of 12 starts with a highlight win in the Group III VRC The Vanity.

Kingstar will present yearlings at the HTBA Sale by the farm’s own sires Bull Point, Lord of the Sky and Unite and Conquer, plus youngsters by Brutal, Cosmic Force and a late supplementary entry by Capitalist that will be offered as Lot 300, but will be well worth the wait.

Lot 300

One of only two colts in the sale by Capitalist, he is the first foal from Princess Joy Joy, a placed Sebring half-sister to stakes-winners Upon This Rock, Gaze On and Bhutane Dane and to the dam of Group III winner Najoom, the dam of Group III winner Charm Stone and stakes-winner Najmaty.

Princess Joy Joy is also interestingly a sister-in-blood to $7million earning and multiple Group I winner Criterion, so there is no end to the quality on the page for this eye-catching colt.
