She's one of the most exciting staying prospects in Victoria and while she's chasing her first Black Type win in the $300,000 Listed Mornington Cup on Wednesday her half-sister will be getting ready to start the 2012 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale with a bang as Lot 1.
Consigned for sale by Fairhill Farm, Lot 1 is a half-sister by Tale of the Cat (USA) to the boom Peter Moody trained stayer Power O'Raylee and Kiwi stakes-winner Moveovr. Watch her walk.
A four year-old daughter of O'Reilly, Power O'Raylee has been in blazing form this preparation reeling off five straight wins including a last start four length romp at Moonee Valley, her emergence adding greatly to the appeal of her yearling half-sister.
From stakes-placed Grosvenor mare La Banca, this lovely filly is a bred on the very successful Tale of the Cat x Sir Tristram cross which has produced Group I winner Tell a Tale, Group II winner Trusting, Group III winner Mr Ubiquitous and stakes-winners Hulachine.
Situated at Mulbring in New South Wales just an hour and a half south of Scone, Fairhill Farm is owned and run by Mike and Debbie O'Donnell, who moved from New Zealand to Australia in 2002.
The O'Donnell's have produced their share of winners since establishing the farm with current Hong Kong star Glorious Days, foaled and raised at Fairhill before going back to New Zealand.
The four year-old son of Hussonet (USA) is unbeaten in five starts for leading trainer John Size and has worked swiftly through the grades in Hong Kong to be lauded as a Group I horse of the future.
Fairhill Farm will present a select draft of six youngsters for the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale and while the half-sister to Power O'Raylee is an obvious standout, quality isn't lacking in the five to follow.
