It's
nice to start a yearling sale on a high note.
Touchstone Farm will hope to start the Perth MM Sale on a positive note with
four quality lots catalogued for the first day.
Touchstone's Glenn Martin is eagerly awaiting day one as like so many other
Studs, sale time is the culmination of many months hard work.
"Sale time is where we get to showcase our product and it is really the shop
window to our Farm. In a short time we have developed a strong reputation, but
sale day is where it really counts," he said.
"We feel that we have a beautifully prepared draft of yearlings and across a
wide range of local trainers and potential buyers we have received a very
favourable response.
"Buyers will be able to look at a number of quality youngsters from our
resident sires Flying Pegasus and Vital Equine with some other prominent sires
also featuring in our draft."
Lot 97 is a filly from stakes-winner Genuine Girl by
Vital Equine (IRE). The filly is a half-sister to SW Destino and metro winners Girl in a Storm and Classic
Miss. From a running family with great residual value this impressive
filly has created a lot of interest. A Girl In a Storm colt sold recently at the
