Two Bays Farm are offering a sensational draft of 10 yearlings – six on behalf of Makybe - at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale and are in the midst of a purple patch of form for past sales gradates that include Sunday’s Listed Tasmanian Oaks winner Bundle of Fun.
The Written Tycoon filly was bred and sold by Two Bays Farm fetching $300,000 at Inglis Easter when bought by Price Bloodstock and has proven a sound investment after scoring a resounding win in the Tassie Oaks for the Adam Trinder stable.
Two Bays bred and sold runners Cardigan Queen (Sebring) and Important Product (Choisir) were also in the money last weekend, the former running a game second in the Group III VRC The Vanity and the latter finishing second at Moonee Valley on Friday night.
For a relatively new and progressive farm, Two Bays is putting runs on the board with other good stakes-winners coming off the farm including Bundle of Fun’s older sibling Kubrick, Easy Eddie, I Am Eloquent and Military Zone.
See the Two Bays Inglis Premier draft at Barn D Stables 8 – 12, 18 – 23.

Lot 419 Filly Pierro x Chandana, by High Chaparral (IRE)

Lot 612 Filly Showtime x Midnight Shimmer, by Blackfriars
From the first crop of brilliant Snitzel sprinter Showtime and is from stakes-placed Midnight Shimmer.
This filly is the first Showtime we've had anything to do with and we're all very impressed with her. We had the half sister last year who was a different style of horse but the same beautiful action.
