The action starts for Holbrook Thoroughbreds on Saturday night when they will
offer Lot 79 as part of the elite Gold Riband session for specially selected
yearlings with two year-old potential.This session has already proved it's worth having produced outstanding filly Fiesta, the Darley Princess Series winner last year, so there is tremendous interest in just what hidden gems are featured this year.
From the first crop of outstanding miler Kermadec, this gorgeous colt is the second foal of Donna Madeira, who won on debut at Sandown as a two year-old and comes from the family of Group I winners Lone Rock and Laisserfaire.
He has a double cross of not one but two breed shaping sires in Sadler's Wells and Danehill, so is blessed with some of the very best bloodlines in the world.

Lot 147 Filly Sepoy x Bella Corona, by Beautiful Crown (USA)
