The Inglis Premier Book 1 Yearling Sale this week produced some good pinhook winners with 17 yearlings selling for more than $50,000 up on their weanling purchase price, so who were the best of them?

Two of the top three lots were sourced from the Fairhill Farm draft at the Inglis Weanling Sale in Sydney.

Spitting that pair was a cracking Written By colt from Stay Positive.

Blue Diamond winner Written By is set to have his first Golden Slipper runner in the shape of the Yulong owned colt Straight Charge and his success no doubt inspired Yulong to pay $400,000 for this colt.

It’s a quality family with Group I winners Irish Fling and Final Destination also on the page.
