Two Bays Farm – A Royal Colt from a Royal Family

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 28

Two Bays Farm will be kept busy this week at Inglis Premier presenting a diverse draft of 14 for themselves and clients, who include celebrated Victorian breeder Tony Santic’s Makybe with a member of his iconic Makybe Diva family sure to generate good interest being by the young sire of the moment in Royal Meeting (IRE).

A Group I winning son of Invincible Spirit, Royal Meeting is the sire of the best two year-old filly in Australia in Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Hayasugi, so his second crop of yearlings are undoubtedly going to command respect.

There are only five by Royal Meeting to be offered at this sale and the first of them to go through the ring is Lot 44, a colt from Makybe Diva’s Group III winning half-sister Valkyrie Diva, who has been an exceptional producer at stud.

Valkyrie Diva has had nine foals to race and all are winners headed by Group III winner Wonder Kid, stakes-winners C’est Beau La Vie and Wales, while her three year-old Zoustar colt Boondocks has won two of his past three starts for the Lindsay Park team. The family will be in the G1 spotlight on Saturday with C'est Beau La Vie's three year-old Snitzel colt Cap Ferrat to run in the Australian Guineas.
