Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday October 23

Australian investors have well and truly awoken to the merits of Rich Hill Stud’s reigning champion New Zealand sire Proisir and they got a timely reminder ahead of the NZB Ready to Run Sale next month when his high class three year-old filly Coeur Volante (NZ) won the Group II MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield on Saturday.

The Mike Moroney trained filly has won three of four starts with her spring grand final to come in the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas on November 18.

Already the sire of 14 stakes-winners, five of them G1 winners, Proisir is a sire on the up and has nine entries for the NZB Ready to Run Sale split evenly with four fillies and five colts and geldings with highlights below.

Lot 29 from Pertab Racing was his fastest youngster to breeze, the filly from unraced Tavistock mare Exige stopping the clock at 10.30 seconds.

She is the second foal of a half-sister to stakes-winner Nigelissima from a family of very good fillies headed by G1 winner Ad Alta and G2 winenrs Zanna and Llanacord

Lot 131 was the quickest of the Proisir colts and geldings with Kiltannon Stables presenting the gelding from Mavorna to gallop out in 10.46 seconds.

He is the first foal of an unraced mare by Iffraaj (GB), whose daughters have produced three winners from four runners to date by Proisir.

Lot 254 from Pertab Racing was another filly to gallop impressively in 10.49 seconds. She is a half-sister to stakes-placed Scarfi from Splitfire, a winning half-sister by Keeper to stakes-winner Professional Man.

Proisir has had two winners from three runners out of mares by Keeper.

Lot 324 from Kilgravin Lodge is a filly with speed and an intriguing pedigree, galloping in 10.60 seconds and being closely related to Proisir’s G3 winning filly Aimee’s Jewel.

She is the second foal of Amparo, a winning three-quarter sister-in-blood by Colombia to stakes-winner Aimee’s Idol. Proisir has 100% success with mares by Zabeel stallion Colombia and is two for two with both of his winners being Group winners Vitesse Bo and Aimee’s Jewel.

Lot 350 from Woburn Farm is a colt that galloped in 10.76 seconds and from the famed New Zealand staying ‘Heights’ family that has produced countless staying stars over the yeas including Caulfield Cup winner Sky Heights.

He is the first foal of Blushing Heights, a half-sister by Burgundy to multiple Group winner Supreme Heights.

The 2023 edition of the Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 11am (NZT) on 22 & 23 November with Breeze Ups completed at Te Rapa Racecourse on 16 & 17 October. Click here for the full catalogue.
