Holbrook Draft Features Nature Strip Lookalike

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 6

Julie Harris and her team at Holbrook Thoroughbreds are presenting a great draft of 11 yearlings for the 2020 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale including an eye-catching Nicconi colt with a strong resemblance to the sire’s superstar sprinter Nature Strip.

We’re all familiar with Nature Strip’s powerhouse sprinter’s physique that has carried him to 12 wins from 20 starts with prizemoney just shy of $4million.

Nature Strip started off looking like this as seen in this image below of him prior to the 2016 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale where he passed in short of his $120,000 reserve and was retained to race.



Holbrook Thoroughbreds will offer Lot 403, a Nicconi colt from Ratatat Lass, a six time metropolitan winner by Bite the Bullet (USA) from the family of Group winners Koonoomoo and Bantry Bay.
