Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 5

The newly created Alma Vale /Kitchwin Hills Partnership run by Verna Metcalfe (General Manager of Alma Vale and Kitchwin Hills) and Stud Manager Oscar Englebrecht has hit the ground running this year and have been kept busy at Riverside Stables this week with a draft of 24 youngsters to be offered at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale next Monday and Tuesday.

The draft includes the progeny of 14 different sires that include first season horses Acrobat, Profiteer, Stay Inside and Wild Ruler with the only filly in the sale by champion sire I Am Invincible an obvious highlight.

Lot 195 is a three-quarter sister-in-blood by I Am Invincible to Group III winning juvenile Barbaric and is the second living foal of Group III winning Sebring mare Shoko, a half-sister to Group II winner Mimi Le Brock and Group III winner Heavenly Thought.

Shoko is a top class mare that sold for $1million at the 2021 Inglis Chairman’s Sale and she is currently in foal to I Am Invincible’s champion son Home Affairs, who has only one filly in this sale and she too will be offered in this draft.

Lot 290 is a Home Affairs filly from winning Choisir mare Aaralyn, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to champion sprinter and Group I sire Starspangledbanner and half-sister to Group I winner Amicus, who is now back in Australia and produced a Frankel colt last spring.

Aaralyn also had a Zoustar yearling colt sell at Magic Millions this year for $500,000, so there is a bit going on in this family with potential for high upside in the future.
