Crossley Thoroughbreds Primed for Premier

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 23

Crossley Thoroughbreds is a comparatively new name in the Inglis Premier vendor index having made an eye-catching debut last year when they sold 14 yearlings for $1.7million and Mitch Pearce is ready to go again at Oaklands Junction with an even bigger draft this time around.

With ongoing support from satisfied clients at last year’s sale, Crossley Thoroughbreds will present a draft of 25 with a great mix of proven and promising sires sure to tempt buyers.

Toronado (IRE) provided the three top selling yearlings in the Crossley draft last year and this top class G1 sire is set to make an impact again for the team with Lot 441, a stylish bay filly from Group II placed Sayahailmary, who has had seven foals to race and all are winners.
