The Sun Stud colours were carried to victory by brilliant Group II winning Snitzel sprinter Thronum, whose first yearlings have been impressing buyers in pre-sale inspections ahead of next week’s Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
A strongly built, short coupled sprinter like his champion sire, Thronum proved his Group I credentials with a fighting half length second to Hellbent in the Group I MVRC William Reid Stakes (1200m).
Thronum covered a good book in his first season at Sun Stud and has some lovely yearlings on offer as listed below.
