First Win for Sale-Topper

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 10
Opening her account with a dominant win at Durbanville in South Africa on Tuesday was promising Snitzel mare Marion Belle, who has a half-brother by Zoustar headed to the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale in March.

Marion Belle topped the 2015 Inglis Premier Yearling SaleTrained by Brett Crawford, four year-old Marion Belle forged clear to win by two and a half lengths over 1000 metres at her second start.

A $560,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Craig Roscoe/ Brett Crawford from the Yallambee Stud draft, Marion Belle was the top priced offering at the 2015 sale.

She is the third winner from Belle of the City, an unraced half-sister by Bel Esprit to stakes-winner Cecconi from the family of Golden Slipper winner Stratum.

Maluka Thoroughbreds will offer the current yearling from Belle of the City, a colt by Zoustar at the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 659.
