Millford Thoroughbreds Offer One of a Kind

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Friday February 28

The Millford Thoroughbreds draft for Inglis Premier is one that’s going to be inspected by every yearling buyer at the sale as it features the one and only yearling at Oaklands by champion sire Redoute’s Choice.

The Arrowfield legend passed away last year, so his remaining stock are highly prized and with just 28 foals in his final crop born in 2019, the opportunity to secure fillies by this breed shaping sire is fast running out.

Offered as Lot 435, this Redoute’s Choice filly is the third foal of Zabeel mare Smiles for Layla, a winning full sister to Group II winner Adrift and half-sister to stakes-winner Imperial Win.

Redoute's Choice filly from Smiles for Layla

The family is one with tremendous upside as Adrift has a stunning colt by I Am Invincible that made $1,050,000 at Magic Millions this year when bought by Waller Racing / Mulcaster Bloodstock.

Millford Thoroughbreds will present nine yearlings in total with highlights below:



Lot 184 Colt All Too Hard x Gem of Gems, by Peintre Celebre (USA)



Half-brother to Group I SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes winner Precious Gem and stakes-placed Happy Money.

Lot 196 Filly Pierro x Graskop, by Manton



Half-sister to two winners from stakes-placed Graskop, a half-sister to juvenile stakes-winner Sabie.

Lot 232 Filly Territories (IRE) x Kaniana, by Canny Lad



First foal of Group III MVRC Tesio Stakes winner Kaniana and is from the first crop of Invincible Spirit’s Group I winning miler Territories.

Lot 309 Filly Dundeel x Miss Barwang, by Anabaa (USA)



Third foal of stakes-placed Miss Barwang, who comes from the family of Group II winner Sircconi and traces back to a super successful Kiwi family that has produced Group I stars such as The Jewel, Phantom Chance, Irish Chance and The Phantom.

Lot 461 Colt Deep Field x Stealapipe, by More than Ready (USA)



Third foal of a metro winning daughter of Group III winner Kilspindie, a sibling to stakes-winners Rullene and Brackenbury.
