Tara Madgwick - Sunday March 31

The Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale is a week away and if you’re doing homework and looking for something in particular Breednet’s Family Search and Nicks page will provide good information – are there any relations to Orchestral, Estriella and Olentia, yes there are.

Click here for Family Search, type in any horse to find relatives in upcoming sales.

Orchestral comes from a prolific Black Type Kiwi family tracing back to Head of the River with the family also producing dual Group I winning mare Atishu, who was a game third in the Group I VRC Australian Cup.

It appears once at Inglis Easter in Lot 197 from Bhima Thoroughbreds.

Lot 197 - King's Legacy colt from Orchids.

This King’s Legacy colt is from Savabeel mare Orchids, a full sister to Atishu and also very closely related to Orchestral. One look at him tells you all you need to know about that female family!

Group II ATC Emancipation Stakes winner Olentia comes from the Easy Date family which has spread in many directions, but the Nasmah branch from which she comes appears once at Inglis Easter in Lot 274 from Fernrigg Farm.
