Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 24

Owned and operated By Peter Buckley and Leeanne Smith, Greta West based Bucklee Farm will present a draft of 14 at Inglis Premier that includes a Deep Field colt with loads of upside and a Magnus colt that has runner written all over him.

Lot 235 Colt Magnus x Simbelation, by Bel Esprit

Second foal from a multiple-winning half-sister to Group II winner Cliff’s Edge who is a lovely colt with great balance and has a quality black type page that has many of the elements of undefeated world champion sprinter Black Caviar.

He’s by Victoria’s evergreen pin-up stallion Magnus and we all know how he just keeps producing top class horses year after year. There’s no more superlatives – just come and inspect him and you’ll see why we love him.

Lot 272 Colt Bolt D’Oro (USA) x Sworn Revenge, by Stratum


A very correctly made colt from the first crop of dual Group I winning 2YO Bolt D’Oro that will sell himself.


He’s a very neat, strong, well-muscled colt from a stakes placed Stratum mare. He could be one of the value buys at the sale.

Lot 446 Filly Harry Angel (IRE) x Dalwhinnie (NZ), by Bachelor Duke (USA)


Just come and have a look at her and you’ll see why’s she’s in P1! This filly is an August foal from Harry Angel’s first southern hemisphere crop and will simply sell herself.

A lovely filly with good strength, a perfect shoulder and deep girth. Moves so fluently and is just a magnificent filly.

Lot 481 Colt Deep Field x Dragonkeeper (NZ), by Keeper
 

A very typical quality Deep Field colt who should create a lot of interest. He’s the third foal of a stakes-placed winner of five races and is a lovely, strong good-walking type with excellent temperament and a very strong page.

Another one who is a ‘must see’ and being a November foal will just keep getting better and better.

Lot 648 Filly Manhattan Rain x Princess of Exile, by Gonski
 

By the sire of Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign, anyone who sees her will be instantly impressed. She’s a standout in P2 and is your no-nonsense “business women” type filly who just knows what the job is and does it! 

She’s prepped really well, takes it all in her stride – a no-fuss filly that will surely carry that quality trait through to being a genuine sound race mare.

Lot 651 Colt Fiorente (IRE) x Pure Excellence, by Rock of Gibraltar (IRE)


By the Melbourne Cup winning sire Fiorente and is a half-brother to five winners. A lovely well-grown September 1st foal who is perfectly put together.

He’s a striking black colt– a lovely looker and very correct.
