Tara Madgwick - Sunday April 30

The Inglis Australian Weanling Sale on Monday and Tuesday features a good selection of youngsters by first season sires with the most represented being – King’s Legacy, North Pacific, Ole Kirk, Anders, Farnan and Prague – so let’s take a look at the gallery pages for these sires, who were sale ring and racetrack rivals, now taking the battle into a new arena, so who will come out on top.

The 2019 yearling sale season was a good one for expensive colts in hindsight with the colts below all going on to racetrack success before embarking on stud careers at major farms.

King's Legacy stands at Coolmore.

A $1.4million Magic Millions yearling by champion sire Redoute’s Choice, King’s Legacy was a dual Group I winner at two of the Sires Produce Stakes and Champagne Stakes. Closely related to Not a Single Doubt, he was the busiest first season sire in 2021 covering 212 mares at a fee of $33,000.

North Pacific stands at Newgate.

North Pacific topped the 2019 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale when selling for $800,000 and remains the second highest priced yearling by Brazen Beau ever sold. A Group III winner that was second to Ole Kirk in the G1 Golden Rose, he covered 202 mares in his first season at a fee of $22,000, so was only marginally behind King’s Legacy in terms of popularity.

Ole Kirk stands at Vinery.

Written Tycoon colt Ole Kirk might have beaten North Pacific in the Golden Rose and then gone on to win the Caulfield Guineas, but in the sale ring he finished second to him as the second highest priced yearling sold at 2019 Inglis Premier fetching $675,000. He covered 170 mares in his first season at a fee of $55,000.
