Holbrook Yearlings to Shine at HTBA Yearling Sale on Sunday

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday April 25

Yearling sale action continues on Sunday at Riverside Stables for the Inglis HTBA Yearling Sale with a catalogue of 224 and Holbrook Thoroughbreds will offer a draft of 13 that are all BOBS Eligible and by 10 different sires including Pride of Jenni’s sire Pride of Dubai.

Currently running fourth on the Australian General Sires List with progeny earnings topping $18million and seven stakes-winners to his credit, Pride of Dubai has very few yearlings to be offered this year and there is just the one to be offered at this sale.

The only yearling in the sale by Pride of Dubai is Lot 27, click to see her page.

Lot 27 is an athletic bay filly from Little Black Fish, an unraced Tale of the Cat (USA) mare that has had six foals to race for five winners and comes from a proven Black Type family featuring Group I winning sprinter Bawalaksana and Group winners Damaschino, Shaaheq, Arbeitsam and Payroll.

Pride of Dubai has only ever had one runner from a daughter of Tale of the Cat and that’s juvenile stakes-winner Tanker.
