For over 150 years Inglis’ and Widden Stud have shared a common goal of offering the type of Thoroughbred that exceeds a buyer’s expectations. Such longevity and common purpose has created a bond that one can’t imagine will ever be broken. And with the flagship Inglis sale fast approaching, Widden’s Antony Thompson gave us his...
Vinery has an enviable record of having one of the best strike rates of Group 1 winners to Lots sold from the Easter Sale. Most recently, Gr.1 winner Aristia (Lonhro) was sold by Vinery Stud at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, from only a small but highly select draft. Aristia won the 2018 VRC Oaks...
NOT every Melbourne Cup winner makes a mark in the breeding barn, but a tough as teak mare who claimed the race more than 70 years ago has founded a family of mainly sprinters who are still winning at the highest level today. One of those descendants is Sooboog who stands at Kitchwin Hills in the Hunter Valley and has just covered his second book at $13,200.
A $500,000 yearling buy, Headwater lived up to his speed pedigree, both parents being Gr.1-winning sprinters, to claim the Silver Slipper-Gr.2 at just his second start. Now based at Vinery in the Hunter Valley, the son of Exceed and Excel is an in-demand young sire whose first yearlings are creating much excitement in 2019.
Prized Icon, a classic winner with a speed pedigree, won elite honours at two and three for young trainer James Cummings. Bred on the successful More Than Ready (USA)-Danehill (USA) cross, this Gooree bred star begins his stud career at the Lamont family’s Kooringal Stud, in the new season.
WITH a sire, grandsire and great-grandsire who have all written their names in Australian breeding history Trapeze Artist has a lot to live up to. But this four-time Gr.1 winner is used to writing his name in the record books and is sure to make every post a winner when he begins his stallion career at Widden Stud in the new season.
Harry Angel, an early-maturing sprint champion who claimed a Gr.1 double at three, has a Danehill-free pedigree that seems likely to suit many in our broodmare population. This shuttler to Darley’s Kelvinside, NSW, hails from a branch of the Northern Dancer sire line that has already given us champion sire Last Tycoon (IRE) and he was a Group winner at two, three and four.
Any juvenile who can win Gr.1 races at his second and third starts has to be pretty special and there is no doubt this description fits Bolt d’Oro (USA), who begins his first shuttle season at Spendthrift Australia’s Victorian property later this year. A handsome bay standing 16.2 hands, he looks a perfect match for Danehill line mares.
THE Green Desert branch of the Danzig male line is all about speed and its many modern day representatives through his sons such as Invincible Spirit and Oasis Dream are continuing this tradition. His grandson, champion two year-old National Defense (GB), begins southern duty in Victoria this season at Sun Stud.
