Too Darn Hot Trio Make Blue Gum Farm a Must Inspect

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 9

Leading Victorian nursery Blue Gum Farm have over 30 weanlings to offer at the Inglis Great Southern Sale next week and buyers will be making a swift path to their draft which includes three strapping colts by outstanding young sire Too Darn Hot (GB), who is poised to be crowned Australia’s Champion First Season Sire.

With 12 Australian winners headed by his Group I winning colt Broadsiding and five additional stakes horses, Too Darn Hot has made a glowing impression in Australia while his stocks continue to rise in Europe where he just sired Fallen Angel to win the Group I Irish 1000 Guineas.

His Australian service fee for this spring has soared to $110,000 and interest in his progeny will certainly put the spotlight on this trio of colts.
