Established at Flinders in Victoria by well-known businessman and racing enthusiast David Kobritz, Musk Creek Farm has proven a great source of winners with Golden Slipper winning champion sire Pierro an early success story for the enterprise.
Famously purchased from a Darley reduction for $115,000 by David Kobritz, Pierro was re-offered at Magic Millions where he was snapped up by Gai Waterhouse for $230,000 and the rest as they say is history.
Flying the flag for Musk Creek Farm more recently has been classy Toronado (IRE) sprinter Corner Pocket, who was another savvy pinhook success story.
He was sourced as a weanling for $75,000 and re-sold as a yearling to Boomer Bloodstock / Lindsey Smith for $175,000 and has been a prolific money spinner for his lucky owners. He is a multiple stakes-winner that has won nine of 18 starts earning over $570,000 in prizemoney!
Musk Creek Farm will present 13 yearlings at Premier with highlights below and comments from Farm Manager Scott Williamson:
