Hot King Prawn was purchased from the Torryburn draft at the 2016 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale for $90,000 and has gone on to become one of the best sprinters in Hong Kong winning 12 races and over $A5.7million in prizemoney. His Group I success is not the first to come from a Torryburn Inglis Classic draft as they also sold Peggy Jean back in 2013.


The full brother to Hot King Prawn will be one of the highlights of the sale and the Denman colt from De Chorus comes up on Tuesday as Lot 561.
