See the Fairhill Farm Weanlings, a Pinhookers Delight

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 4
Following hot on the heels of the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale next week on Thursday April 12 comes the Inglis Chairman's Sale Breeding Prospects which features a select offering of elite weanlings including four crackers from Fairhill Farm that you can see here in a sneak preview.

Mike and Debbie O'Donnell of Fairhill Farm have been riding the crest of a winning wave in recent months with the upcoming dispersal of their entire weanling crop at the Riverside Stables in Sydney sure to attract significant interest from bloodstock investors and pinhookers.

"We have over 20 weanlings to be offered with Inglis in April, four of them in the elite Chairman's Sale next week," said Mike O'Donnell.

"By a wide range of proven and promising commercial sires, all of them have the potential for exciting updates between now and yearling sale time next year."

Lot 30 Colt Pierro x Sandy Desert (USA), by Line in the Sand



By outstanding young sire Pierro, the sire of six stakes-winners this season with his oldest progeny just three year-olds! Half-brother to stakes-placed Desert Fox and two other smart winners as well as the dam of recent Brisbane two time winner Hinchinstyle, a last start winner at Doomben on March 31.

Lot 38 Colt Shooting to Win x Touch of Greatness, by Don Eduardo



Half-brother to stakes-placed Hair Trigger and is from the second crop of Group I winning Northern Meteor son Shooting to Win. Given the success of Northern Meteor's first sire sons at stud who are Zoustar, Fighting Sun and Eurozone (all now sires of stakes-winners), pinhookers will no doubt give keen consideration to his next wave of sire prospects.

Lot 44 Colt So You Think x Blowin in the Wind (IRE), by Danehill



By top class sire So You Think, who featured with three new Graded stakes-winners last month in D'Argento, Think Bleu and The Pinnacle.
