$460,000 Ocean Park Colt an Early Classic Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 12

You could have been forgiven for thinking you were still at the sales in New Zealand when a colt by Cox Plate winning sire Ocean Park from Sacred Rhythm sold for $460,000 at Inglis Classic on Sunday and will race in the famous cerise and white colours of Bob and Sandra Peters.

$460,000 Ocean Park colt from Sacred Rhythm.

Consigned by Lime Country Thoroughbreds on behalf of NZ vendor Jamieson Park, he is the second foal of stakes-winning Pentire (GB) mare Sacred Rhythm and was purchased by Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock.

Gabbedy confirmed the colt was bought for Bob and Sandra Peters. 

 

 

Ocean Park has a great record in Australia leaving multiple Group I winners Tofane and Kolding among his stakes-winners not to mention progressive three year-old Kovalica.
