The now 4YO won the Listed Exford Plate and G2 Bill Stutt Stakes before claiming the stallion-making Caulfield Guineas last year, defeating the likes of Militarize, Veight, Southport Tycoon, King Colorado, Little Brose etc.

Griff finished within three lengths of Arkansaw Kid in the G2 Bobbie Lewis this Spring Carnival and is being offered as a racing prospect with a stallion career awaiting.

Ellsberg is another stallion being offered in the December Sale.

Ellsberg won the G1 Epsom Handicap two years ago and has stood the 2023 and 2024 breeding seasons at Murrulla Stud.

Unraced 3YO filly National Code (Written Tycoon) is an intriguing prospect.

She is a half sister to this year’s G1 Doncaster Mile and G1 Randwick Guineas winner Celestial Legend and is being offered as a racing and breeding prospect.

Majantic and Extreme Pride are two other highly desirable mares in the catalogue.

Majantic is one of only six mares in foal to the highly accomplished three-time G1 winner Militarize this Spring.

Majantic is already the dam of Stakes winner Holy Enchantment.

There is also one stallion share in impressive young sire Pierata being offered in the sale.

He is the sire of 5 individual Group performers from his first crop, including G1 Golden Slipper runner-up Coleman and Group winning filly Tobeornottobe.
