Nick Williams said un-raced three-year-olds Whernside and Growth, winning three-year-old Caton and imported six-year-old Our Rockhampton would join the list.
Inglis Bloodstock director, Mr Peter Heagney, said the four horses would be additions to the catalogue and auctioned in alphabetical order to conclude the sale.
Below are expert comments on the new quartet from form analyst Deane Lester and pedigree expert Tara Madgwick.
CATON (colt, Reset-Mardi Gras).
Deane Lester: 3-Y-0 colt who has raced only three times – all, in past two months. Won Ballarat 1200m. mdn on debut, Jan.22 ; then close 2nd. K'ton . 1200m. when fav. on Feb.4. and followed up with 6th of 13 over 1400m. at Bdgo on Feb. 11, when twice steadied off heels. Quickly established, race fit and ready to go on with it.
Tara Madgwick: Good prospect on his breeding. His dam, Madis Gras, was a very smart sprinter-miler from a speedy family, so this colt can probably find his niche in races up to 1600m.
GROWTH (gelding, Zabeel-Tall Story (NZ).
Deane Lester:Un-raced 3Y0 gelding and no trial form. Bloodlines are most appealing.
Tara Madgwick: Full brother to promising stayer Base, by champion sire Zabeel from Tall Story, a half-sister to triple Group 1 winner Tall Poppy.
OUR ROCKHAMPTON (gelding, Galileo-Green Rosy).
Deane Lester: Imported 6Y0 who has raced only 15 times - for three wins and three minor placings. Showed early promise when 2nd and 4th in only runs as 2Y0; as 3Y0 won twice and was 3rd (18 runners) at Newmarket. Won W'bool hdle (3200m.) in May 2011 and followed with 2nd in M'ton hdle (3200m.).
Tara Madgwick: By champion sire Galileo and is bred to stay all day, being a half-brother to couple of European Group winners including America, who is the dam of Melbourne Cup winner Americain.
WHERNSIDE (colt, Encosta de Lago-Singalong).
Deane Lester:Unraced 3Y0 colt. Well-related breeding suggests he could make a middle distance or beyond performer.
Tara Madwick: Half-brother by champion sire Encosta de Lago to stakes-winner Zacroona, a winner up to 2100, while his stakes-winning dam Singalong won up to 2000m. and was runner-up in NZ Oaks.Could easily be suited at a trip.
Melbourne Cup placegetter C'est La Guerre and reigning Adelaide Cup hero Muir are among headline acts in a record draft of 58 horses to be sold by Hudson Conway Racing Pty. Ltd. at the Melbourne Select Racehorse Sale.
Australia's top racing analyst Deane Lester, who has provided expert comments
on all horses in the Team Williams' draft, said it was very rare that a
Melbourne Cup placegetter was offered at Public Auction.C'est La Guerre (pictured) finished third to Viewed and Bauer in the 2008 Melbourne Cup and last April finished third in the Chairman's Handicap (2600m.) and fourth in the Sydney Cup (3200m.) at Randwick.
Muir won the Adelaide Cup (3200m.) in March last year to take his record to six wins (with three thirds) from only 23 starts.
The draft includes established winners Niblick (six wins), Base (five), Vesper (four), Elms (three), Billson (two), I'm Imposing, Integration, Kershaw, Newell, Posted, Powlett, Revitalise and the exciting Infuse.
Mr Nick Williams said all horses in the stable's biggest-ever dispersal included recent city winners and placegetters plus un-raced three-year-olds by leading sires.
He said most of the racehorses were bought for between $200,000 and $400,000 as yearlings and there would be massive savings for buyers who would avoid the expense of first-year costs of breaking-in fees, training fees and other expenses that would take total costs to between $40,000 and $60,000.
Mr Lloyd Williams has a simplistic attitude to culling his big team. Any horse he doubted would measure up to Group One standard is sold to make way for new purchases.
His judgment was astray when he sold Subscribe who, with a name change to Vengeance Of Rain, became the champion racehorse of Hong Kong with stake-earnings of more than $HK75 million.
Mr Nick Williams was the first to congratulate connections of Bolton (Zabeel-Real Success) after back-to-back city wins this month. Bolton's emphatic win at Caulfield followed an impressive win at Flemington on January 21 and he has now had nine starts for trainer Stephen Brown and new owners for three wins and a Moonee Valley fourth.
Last year's dispersal sales included winners Hampden (seven starts for four wins and a second), Brampton, Leading, Hume and Strumming. Hume was sold for $22,000 and earned for his new connections almost $300,000.
Other winners for new owners included Coastal, Forecast, Global (three wins), Indite, Thames, Vesting, Albion, Baron, Ingleby, Maling, Mews, Module (five starts for new owners included a hat-trick of city wins), Provider, Provincial, Remodel (three wins and two seconds in Brisbane), Traded, Whitewood, Devon and Compelled.
Mr Nick Williams said it was pleasing that so many winners had come through the Hudson Conway Racing sales. "Almost all of our horses are ready to race, so in many cases the returns have arrived within weeks for new connections," he said.
Mr Heagney, said the Williams family was renowned for buying quality thoroughbreds with strong pedigrees and the draft in the Select Sale contained outstanding racing prospects.
"It is an excellent mix of recent city winners and placegetters and some un-raced three-year-olds by leading sires," he said. "It really is a wonderful opportunity for buyers to acquire ready-made racehorses.
"Inglis is delighted to have the Hudson Conway draft as a highlight of its Melbourne Select Racehorse Sale."
