Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday May 20

Fairhill Farm were the leading vendor by aggregate at the recent Inglis Weanling Sale selling 21 weanlings at an average in excess of $90,000 and the good news for pinhookers is that their season is set to continue at the Gold Coast with Mike and Debbie O’Donnell to offer a further nine weanlings at Magic Millions that will be parading from Wednesday.

Fairhill Farm have enjoyed Group I success on the track producing Group I winners Good Project, Choice Bro, Glorious Days and this year’s Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Hayasugi, while their list of pinhook winners is just as impressive.

Heading the list this year was a cracking Justify (USA) colt from Kitty Leroy that made $500,000 at Inglis Premier for Shadow Hill Thoroughbreds when purchased by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds. He was purchased from Fairhill Farm as a weanling for $105,000!
