Lone Camelot and Ole Kirk Duo Lead Premier Buyers to Holbrook Thoroughbreds

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 25

Julie Harris and her team at Holbrook Thoroughbreds have a diverse draft of six for Inglis Premier that includes the only yearling in the sale by outstanding staying sire Camelot and the three-quarter brother to Group II winner Comrade Rosa by Ole Kirk.

The Champion 3YO Colt and winner of the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas and Golden Rose, Ole Kirk is an Inglis Premier graduate having been bred and sold by Gilgai Farm and his progeny are going to be in high demand in Victoria.

Holbrook Thoroughbreds will offer two youngsters by the blue-blooded son of Written Tycoon, whose female family features two champions in Black Caviar and All Too Hard.

Lot 424 is the eighth foal of stakes-winning Redoute’s Choice mare No Looking Back, who was second in the 2012 MRC Blue Diamond Stakes, and has done a great job at stud with seven foals to race five winners headed by Group II winning mare Comrade Rosa (Capitalist), who has won over $560,000.

Three of the first four dams are stakes-winners going to Misty Vain, who spawned the famed Tennessee family responsible for Group I winners such as Malaguerra and Aloha.

Lot 59 is a filly from Wanted Diva, a metro juvenile winning three-quarter sister to stakes-winner Rockolicious from the family of Golden Slipper winners Canny Lad and Sepoy with third dam Canny Lass a triple Group I winner. It’s a prolific Black Type family with Blue Diamond contender Coleman also on the page.

While the Ole Kirk offspring are more geared to speed, Holbrook also have something to appeal to those buyers looking for a more European flavour mixed with a dash of Aussie speed.

Lot 322 is the only yearling in the sale by outstanding sire Camelot, who runs at 65% winner to runner and 8% SW to runner. This colt was born in Ireland and is the first foal of Justatune (IRE), who is also now in Australia and is in fact by Galileo’s Epsom Derby winning son Australia.

There is one runner so far by Camelot from a daughter of Australia and that’s promising three year-old colt Dancing Gemini, who won a Listed race at Doncaster last year and has Classic aspirations in 2024.

Justatune has an interesting background as she is from Australian bred Manhattan Rain mare Crafty, who raced in Australia for Qatar Bloodstock and was Group placed twice before retiring to stud in the Northern Hemisphere where she has been covered by a range of leading sires including Frankel.

Crafty has had two foals to race up there that have both won and has several more in the pipeline with the potential to improve her record further.

Bred by Arrowfield, Crafty is a half-sister to Group III winner Lunar Rise and to the dam of stakes-winner Soaring Ambition tracing back to an elite European female family that has produced champions such as Peintre Celebre, Stradivarius and Persian King.

Rounding out the Holbrook draft are three more yearlings listed below:

Lot 9 Filly Street Boss (USA) x Tennessee Gold, by Lonhro

Third foal of a winning half-sister to stakes-winner Pergram from the family of Group I winning sprinter Snitzerland and Group winners Nina Haraka, Sooboog and Hard Landing. Bred on successful Street Boss x Lonhro cross that has produced four SW’s Arcaded, Heuristic, She Dances and Bistro, so runs at 19% SW to runner.

Lot 280 Colt Anders x Heavenly Barb, by I Am Invincible

From the first crop of speedy Not a Single Doubt son Anders. Second foal of a winning daughter of champion sire I Am Invincible from one of Victoria’s favourite female families featuring Group I winning sprinter Flamberge and Group winners such as Sunburnt Land, Durendal, Sword of Light, Razor Blade and Country Lodge.

Lot 407 Filly King’s Legacy x Mumbeilly, by O’Reilly

From the first crop of King’s Legacy, a dual G1 winning son of Redoutes Choice. Half-sister to two winners and the 2YO from the mare Athanatos (c I Am Immortal) was third at Pakenham last Thursday at his second start. Bred on successful Redoute’s Choice x O’Reilly nick that has produced 15 SW’s including five G1 winners including current star mare Espiona.
