The Inglis Premier Yearling Book 1 Sale this week exceeded expectation with some pretty solid results and a number of notable pinhook success stories, so let’s take a look at some of the best.
Two Bays Farm produced the best pinhook result of the sale with their Wootton Bassett (GB) filly from Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Oohood.
The third foal of her dam, she made $70,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale last year when snapped up by Astute Bloodstock from the Stonehouse Thoroughbreds draft and when re-offered made $380,000 to the bid of Shane Nichols Racing.
The filly comes with a superb pedigree as her dam is a Group I winning half-sister by I Am Invincible to stakes-placed Breakfast in Bed, the dam of dual Group I winner and promising young sire King’s Legacy. This is the family of champion sire Not a Single Doubt with third dam Singles Bar, a daughter of blue hen Easy Date.
Northmore Thoroughbreds were well rewarded for their Bivouac colt from Promenades that made $220,000 when bought by Akaya Success Limited HK. A half-brother to three winners, he is the fifth foal of a half-sister to the dam of current Group I winner Tom Kitten from the Twyla branch of the famed Dancing Show (USA) family.
He was bred and sold initially by Gilgai Farm and snapped up from their Inglis Great Southern Weanling draft for $52,500 by Northmore / Waterford. Gilgai Farm also bailed out of the mare last year selling her for $13,000 through Inglis Digital.
Rosemont Stud had a good result with their Zousain filly from Group III winning Magnus mare Miss Promiscuity that made $230,000 when purchased by O'Shea / Charlton Racing / James Bester Bloodstock. She was the top selling yearling by her sire Zousain at this sale.
The filly was sourced from the Dorrington Farm draft at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale for $70,000 by NZ based Vermair Farm.
Cornerstone Stud also did well out of their Ole Kirk filly from Intrigue that was bought for $200,000 by Lindsay Park Racing / Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock.
The third foal of a winning Deep Field mare from the family of Group I winner Happy Archer and stakes-winner Femina Fashion, she was sourced from the A List Stud Reduction at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $45,000 by Badgers Bloodstock.
