Stallion Syndicate Swoop on $900,000 Justify Colt

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 8

Sledmere Stud got a big result on Monday at Inglis Easter when they sold a stunning Justify (USA) colt from Stockton Abbey for $900,000.

Super popular during inspections the strapping bay has the sort of power and presence of Justify’s outstanding juvenile colt Storm Boy and was duly snapped up by the China Horse Club / Newgate / Go Bloodstock / Trilogy, NSW.

$900,000 Justify (USA) colt from Stockton Abbey.

Bred by Rifa Mustang, the star colt is the fourth foal of unraced Stratum mare Stockton Abbey, a full sister to fast stakes-winning juvenile Darlington Abbey.

Royston and Treen Murphy of Sledmere Stud were over the moon with the sale.

“He had over 240 parades for the week which is a huge number, but he was one of those horses that everyone that walked past him wanted to see him,” said Royston Murphy.

“He’s a good colt by a great stallion and we always thought Inglis Easter was the place for him.”

Stockton Abbey is now back in foal to Justify.
