$320,000 Hellbent Filly – Three-Quarter Brother Wins Trial This Morning

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday February 13

Fresh from siring Fully Lit to win the $2million Inglis Millennium last Saturday, Hellbent delivered a magical result for first time vendors Riverstone Lodge at Inglis Classic on Tuesday when their filly from Rose of Savannah sold for $320,000 to BK Racing and Breeding.

The filly was a super successful pinhook having been sourced by Belmont Bloodstock for $150,000 at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale from the Baramul Stud draft.

$320,000 Hellbent filly from Rose of Savannah.

The highest priced yearling at Inglis Classic for Hellbent, the star filly is the second foal of well bred Fastnet Rock mare Rose of Savannah, a two time winner from the family of Cox Plate winning champion sire Savabeel as well as Group I winners Savannah Success and Black Heart Bart.

The first foal from Rose of Savannah is a colt by Brazen Beau that was bought at Magic Millions last year for $80,000 by Kelly Schweida Racing. Named Brazen Act, he scored an easy barrier trial win at Doomben this morning and looks a talented type for the future.
