Winners Keep Coming for Fairhill Farm – This Time Pinhook Winners!

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday March 4

Last week Mike and Debbie O’Donnell of Fairhill Farm were celebrating G1 success having produced Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi and this week their Fairhill Farm brand has been front and centre at Inglis Premier featuring on some notable pinhook winners.

Fairhill Farm are well known for selling their entire foal crop as weanlings offering an outstanding opportunity for investors with Hayasugi snapped up from the draft in 2022 for $47,500.

Their draft offered at the Inglis Select Weanling Sale in 2023 included a Justify (USA) colt from Kitty Leroy and a Deep Field colt from Keeping Score that were both sold at Inglis Premier on Monday for a handsome profit.

$500,000 Justify (USA) colt from Kitty Leroy.

The Justify colt was bought by Gleneagles Stud as a weanling for $105,000 and then re-offered by Shadow Hill Thoroughbreds fetching $500,000 to the bid of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds.

Waterhouse and Bott train Justify’s outstanding two year-old colt Storm Boy, who is a hot favourite for the Golden Slipper.

This colt is from winning I Am Invincible mare Kitty Leroy, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Group III winning sprinter Super One.

Lucky to have a big pedigree update in recent weeks as a full brother to unbeaten Group winning sprinter Master Fay, the Deep Field colt from Keeping Score was the only colt by his sire to be offered at this sale.

He was bought as a weanling for $180,000 by M Patel and re-offered by the Alma Vale Kitchwin Hills Partnership fetching $475,000 when secured by Peter Ng / Shane McGrath.

McGrath is certainly familiar with the Fairhill Farm brand having been involved in the purchase and now ownership of $1.6million earner Hayasugi.

“It’s very pleasing to see these horses bought by great judges and returning good profits for their owners,” said Mike O’Donnell.

“We like nothing better than to see buyers well rewarded from the horses they purchase from us.”

Another Fairhill Farm bred youngster destined to join a good stable is the Pierro colt from One More Tequila that was purchased from the Maluka Thoroughbreds draft at Premier by Brad Widdup Racing for $160,000. A half-brother to Group II placed Mexico, he was bought by Maluka Thoroughbreds for $110,000 as a weanling.
