After what has been a very competitive and healthy yearling sales season, it was no surprise to see the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale post strong gains both on last year’s pandemic-affected selling but also on what was a very strong sale in 2019.
We were delighted to come away with five exceptional yearlings, with their details below.
Lot 36 - Pariah x Real Stolle colt - $375,000
Our first purchase was lot 36 from Newgate Farm, a very strong and forward colt by our young stallion Pariah, who stands at Arrowfield Stud. The Pariah stock have been very impressive all year and this was an outstanding example. He is a three-quarter brother to 2YO stakes winner Nomothaj (by Snitzel), and out of 2YO stakes winner Real Stolle, so this is very much a 2YO orientated pedigree.
Lot 53 - Fastnet Rock x Rostova filly - $1,100,000
Our second purchase was a very athletic filly by top-class stallion Fastnet Rock, secured for $1,100,000 from Coolmore Stud. She is out of Group 1 winner Rostova and is a full-sister to the very smart sprinter Anaheed.
Lot 162 - I Am Invincible x Wild Rain - $610,000
Our third purchase was this exceptionally powerful and precocious looking daughter of leading stallion I Am Invincible secured for $610,000 from Cressfield Stud. She is the second foal of the very fast and classy G2 winning sprinter Wild Rain and from the family of Horse of The Year Northerly.
Lot 173 - I Am Invincible x Zamzam colt - $1,150,000
Our fourth purchase was lot 173, the very strong I Am Invincible colt out of Zamzam secured alongside Coolmore Stud for $1,150,000 from the Yarraman Park draft. He is the second foal of the very smart 2YO Zamzam (by Redoute’s Choice) who was third in the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes as a 2YO.
Lot 428 - Capitalist x Miss Interiors - $1,050,000
Our final purchase was this very impressive and strong colt by Capitalist, secured from Torryburn Stud for $1,050,000. He is by our young stallion Capitalist who is going from strength to strength as a stallion at Newgate Farm, with already ten stakes horses from his first crop. This colt also boasts an outstanding dam side to his pedigree, with his dam having already produced G1 Caulfield Guineas runner-up Aysar and this season’s G2 Silver Slipper Stakes winner Home Affairs from her first two foals. Further this is the exceptional family of dual G1 winning sprinter Russian Revolution.
