Jericho Missile was sold by Holbrook Thoroughbreds as a weanling for $32,000 and proved a successful pinhook when being resold for $77,500 at the 2018 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale.

Jericho Missile is not the only recent winner for Onecatstoomany as her three year-old Sebring filly Seentoomany has also been successful in December scoring a dominant win at the Gold Coast last Saturday, her second victory from six starts.

Holbrook Thoroughbreds will offer the current yearling colt from Onecatstoomany by exciting first season sire Press Statement as Lot 570 at the 2019 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
