Inglis Easter Next for Newcomer North

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 3

North might be a new name in the vendor index at Inglis Easter this year, but it’s familiar faces with Mick and Pauline Malone acquiring and putting their stamp on the former Kanangra Stud to reinvigorate this proven Hunter Valley farm as an elite nursery for future thoroughbred stars.

The North brand has been well received with yearlings selling for up to $800,000 at Magic Millions and $600,000 at Inglis Classic and Inglis Easter marks the next stage of their commercial journey.

North will present a draft of 11 that features two crackers by champion sire Snitzel and a gorgeous Ole Kirk colt that is the first foal of a Snitzel stakes-winner!

Lot 41 Filly Snitzel x French Doll, by Northern Meteor

Fourth foal of an unraced half-sister by Northern Meteor to Japanese Group II winner Red Genesis and the first foal of the mare to race, French Comet is now a winner. Bred on an emerging nick with Snitzel over Northern Meteor mares producing four winners from five runners and two of them are this season’s juvenile stakes-winners Prost and Highness.

Lot 413 Colt Snitzel x All Too Soon, by All Too Hard

Second foal of Group III placed All Too Soon, a half-sister to stakes-winner Rock Hero from Group II winner Gallant Tess. First foal is Swift Gun (2c Exceed), retained to race and in work with Brad Widdup.
