This is a part of our ongoing series of articles leading up to the 2009 sales and the focus this week is on the 2009 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale (April 5, 6 & 7), where we will attempt to highlight five yearlings that ON PAPER at least, fit the profile of a blue-blooded sire prospect in the mould of a Manhattan Rain, Northern Meteor or Time Thief.
