Collingrove Stud are being kept busy this week with parades now underway for the Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale next Monday and Tuesday with their draft of eight yearlings by eight different sires offering plenty of diversity and including a filly by exciting young sire Tassort and a colt closely related to promising 2YO Skyhook.
Tassort has done a brilliant job off a low base in siring Group I winning filly Manaal and Group II winning filly Ameena from his first crop and was super popular with broodmare owners last spring at his increased fee of $38,500.
A stallion on an upswing he has only three fillies in this sale with Lot 120 the first of them to be offered.
From well bred Flying Spur mare Sessantesimo, she is a half-sister to three winners and her dam is a full sister to stakes-winner Traveston Girl. This filly’s grand-dam Milande is a full sister to triple Group I winner Defier tracing back to the family of Champion 3YO Filly Triscay.
Group II placed Written Tycoon colt Skyhook will be trying to earn a start in the Golden Slipper when he goes around in the Group III ATC Pago Pago Stakes on Saturday and Lot 87 is bred along very similar lines.
This stylish chestnut colt is by Written Tycoon’s proven stakes-producing sire son Rich Enuff from Redan Lane, a placed half-sister by Flying Spur to Madam Andree, the dam of Group III winner Anders, stakes-winner Ostraka and also the dam of Skyhook.
It’s a top class international female family that has been nurtured in Australia by Arrowfield Stud and this colt makes plenty of appeal for the Hong Kong market given he is a half-brother to the smart Hong Kong winner Same to You.
