Twin Hills Stud is based at Cootamundra, so it’s an easy transit down the Hume Highway for the Inglis Great Southern Sale and Olly and Amber Tait are prepared to be busy with over 30 weanlings and several broodmares to present.

The weanlings are a diverse selection by a wide range of sires including first season young guns Home Affairs and Stay Inside, plus a filly by world renowned sire Night of Thunder, who has already sired seven stakes-winners in the Northern Hemisphere this year including exciting Group II Dante Stakes winner Economics and a new season Group winning juvenile filly Fairy Godmother.
