Caithness Bring Quality to Adelaide

The Caithness Breeding draft at the Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale always features a touch of quality with classy stakes-winner Dr Doute’s emerging from their consignment in 2007.

Once again Sean and Cathy Dingwall have put together an appealing draft of 14 youngsters including one of the very few yearlings to be offered this year by young Redoute’s Choice stallion Marmottan, sire of stakes-placed Corvidae from his first crop of runners, and one of the only two yearlings in the sale by Dane Shadow.
