Middlebrook Valley Inglis Easter Quartet

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 3
Verna and David Metcalfe and their team at Middlebrook Valley Lodge have a first rate reputation for producing quality athletes and their Inglis Easter draft features four cracking colts including the half-brother to Ivictory, the Champion Hong Kong Sprinter of 2017/2018.

Offered as Lot 57, this handsome chestnut colt is the only entry in the sale by under-rated Group I sire Reset and is the fifth foal of Inca Lagon, a daughter of stakes-winner Tyrolean from the family of dual Group I winner Yippyio and Group II winner Iglesia, the sire of leading sire Written Tycoon.




Group I winner Ivictory is the best of two winners from Inca Lagoon and has won seven of 13 starts.

Lot 24 is an interesting colt by All Too Hard and is the first foal of stakes-winning juvenile Fuld's Bet, a daughter of outstanding sire I Am Invincible, whose influence is clearly seen in this youngster. 




Fuld's Bet is a half-sister to juvenile stakes-winner Irish Bet from the family of Group II winner Double Your Bet.

Lot 113 is by one of the hottest young sires in the land in Zoustar and is the first foal of good metropolitan winner Mezulla, a daughter of top class shuttler Shamardal (USA). 



The family also features Group I winner Just Call Me Sir.

Rounding out the draft is a colt by former champion racehorse and now leading sire So You Think, who is the sire of one of Middlebrook Valley Lodge's most promising graduates in Fasika.

A modest $120,000 Inglis Easter Session II purchase for Tricolours Racing and Syndications from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft in 2017, the Joe Pride trained Fasika is undefeated in scoring impressive wins at her first two starts at Warwick Farm last month and looms as a stakes-winner of the future.



Lot 145 is a lovely colt by So You Think, the second foal from Myamira, winner of the Group III Gosford Belle of the Turf Stakes.

See the draft at Barn E Stables 36 – 40 and 45.
