A Group I miler by Teofilo (IRE), Kermadec is a lovely looking horse and his progeny have been very well received for a stallion that doesn't really fit the clichéd profile of two year-old speed sire. To date he has had 40 yearlings sell at all sales at an average of $110,712 off a $22,000 fee.
His six yearlings sold at Inglis Premier achieved a $152,667 average and included a colt from Promenades that made a whopping $520,000 for Gilgai Farm when secured by Upper Bloodstock.
That set a new benchmark for Kermadec as his
most expensive yearling so far and the youngster has a strong pedigree as he's
the first foal of Lonhro mare Promenades, whose grand-dam Twyla is a
half-sister to blue hen Shantha's Choice, the dam of champion sire Redoute's
Choice.
Coolmore's Golden Slipper winner Vancouver continued his strong results with 15 yearlings averaging $136,333. He also produced the single best result for a first season sire at this sale with his colt from Pins Group III winner Epingle making $540,000 for Gilgai Farm when bought by John Foote Bloodstock.

Cornerstone Stud's High Chaparral shuttler Free Eagle (IRE) kicked a goal with his colt from Shanghai Moon which made $250,000 for Cornerstone Stud when bought by John Foote Bloodstock.
The colt is a half-brother to Group I SA Derby winner
Kushadasi and stakes-winner Karlovasi so has plenty of pedigree to back up his
obvious appeal as a type.
Free Eagle has 11 entries for the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale next week.
