JHB Announce Quality Colts to Be Offered at Inglis Chairman's Sale

Media Release - Monday March 26

After offering Group II ATC  Todman Stakes winner Gunnison for a sale-topping $1,4 million in 2017, James Harron Bloodstock will offer a quality draft of three colts at the upcoming Inglis Chairman's Sale of Racing Prospects, highlighted by high-class 3YO colt Siege of Quebec on behalf of Coolmore Stud and partners.

Siege of QuebecHe will be offered alongside city-winning colts from the JHB Colt Group, Hypnotist and Almighty. 

James Harron said, "The Inglis Chairman's Sale has revolutionised the sale of racing prospects, giving buyers and vendors the transparency offered by public auction, and I am delighted to present three lightly-raced and physically outstanding colts, each by an Australian Champion Sire."

A $1.2 milllion Inglis Easter yearling from one of Australia's very best families, Siege of Quebec ((image Steve Hart) has twice placed at stakes level, including when second to Kementari in the Group III ATC  Eskimo Prince Stakes. 

A son of Champion sire Fastnet Rock, Siege of Quebec has untapped potential going forward, and as a confirmed Hong Kong special replacement (rating HK85), he has great appeal both to Asian and domestic markets.

Winner of his first three starts, including at metropolitan level at Canterbury, Snitzel colt Hypnotist has also performed with great credit at stakes level, including a fourth in the Group III Spring Stakes and is qualified as a Hong Kong PP import with a HK75 rating.
