'Sold by Southern Cross' is a proven recipe for success with classy three
year-old Sesar a glowing example. A $160,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Proven
Thoroughbreds and Steve O'Dea Racing, Sebring colt Sesar has already won over
$300,000 in prizemoney and scored a resounding win in the Group II ATC Roman Consul
Stakes last spring.His older half-brother Doubt Defying was also a savvy purchase from the Southern Cross draft at Magic Millions in 2015 for just 445,000 and he's also a stakes-winner that has banked over $423,000 in prizemoney.
Last year at Classic, Southern Cross (Byerley Stud) presented a lovely Rubick filly that caught the eye of renowned bloodstock agent James Harron. He secured her for $42,000 on behalf of his JHB Syndications and Biscara vindicated his judgement by finishing second at her first two starts in the Listed MRC Inglis Debutants Stakes and $500,000 Inglis Banner.
