Fastnet
Rock dominated the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale 12 months ago and was back doing
the same this year providing five of the top six lots and leading the sires by
average list with 20 youngsters averaging $181,375.
Batting off a service fee of $60,500 in 2009, the Fastnet Rock supporters were
well rewarded in achieving three times service fee with his best result coming
with a colt from Bellevue Lady (NZ) that made $500,000 for Musk Creek Farm
when secured by James Bester Bloodstock/Demi O'Byrne on behalf of Coolmore to
top the sale.
His top filly (pictured) was the half-sister to stakes-winner Corsaire from Crystal Choir
(GB) that made $330,000 for Makybe when purchased by Segenhoe Thoroughbreds.
New Zealand based sires made an impact at this sale with High Chaparral (IRE)
(now with Coolmore, but previously shuttling Windsor Park when these yearlings
were conceived), Pentire (GB) and Pins all in the Top 10.
Pins had the best individual result of the Kiwi based sires with his colt (pictured) from
Crossyourheart fetching $260,000 for Tyreel Stud when snapped up by Singapore
based trainerCliff Brown.
Darley based Reset did best of the Victorian based sires achieving his top
seller (pictured) with the half-sister to Group II winner Chase the Rainbow from
Illusional fetching $230,000 for Swettenham Stud when secured by Malua
Bloodstock/Bahen Bloodstock.
