Don’t Miss a Big Opportunity

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 26
The Unreserved Reduction of broodmares and race fillies from Think Big Stud to be offered at the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale next Monday offers a rare opportunity to tap into the bloodlines that have made Dato Tan Chin Nam's famed colours some of the most well-known and successful in the country.

High Midnight Not many weeks pass that the familiar black and white chequerboard with yellow sleeve colours are not seen to advantage, most recently aboard Think Big homebred High Midnight at Rosehill on Saturday.

A four year-old gelding by High Chaparral (IRE), High Midnight won his fifth race from 14 starts taking his prizemoney in excess of $280,000.

Think Big Stud's proven sire Pendragon was in hot form in Adelaide with Killarney Kid making it three wins in a row when successful over 2020 metres, while Think Big homebred filly Miss Gunpowder was a close second in the Listed SAJC Redelva Stakes at her second run back from a spell after winning the Group II Tranquil Star in the spring.

One of the flagbearers for Think Big Stud in recent years has been Champion 3YO Filly Faint Perfume, who headlines their reduction draft and will be offered asLot 274.

Retained to race, Faint Perfume won five races and $1.4 million with highlight victories in the Group I VRC Oaks and ATC Vinery Stud Stakes.
