The Inglis Select Weanling Sale next Monday and Tuesday will be a busy one for Dr Richard McClenahan, his wife Kim and their team with a 14 strong draft by nine different sires sure to make serious appeal to pinhookers and end users alike.
Mullaglass has proven a reliable source of winners achieving lasting fame for having bred and sold Group I winning sire Hellbent, but recent success has come with talented three year-old Robrick.
Bred by McClenahan and sold as a yearling at Inglis Classic through the Valiant Stud draft, the Invader colt sold for $220,000 to OnTrack Thoroughbreds and has proven an instant hit.
With two metro wins and three seconds from eight starts, the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr trained Robrick was also second in the $1million Inglis Sprint to Estriella and has won just shy of $340,000.
Another smart graduate from Mullaglass Stud has been this season’s stakes-placed juvenile winner Full Force, who was third in the Karaka Million.
The Cosmic Force colt made $70,000 at this sale in 2022 for Mullaglass when snapped up as a pinhook for New Zealand and then made $135,000 when offered at K1 by Kilgravin Lodge and bought by Benner Racing.
Mullaglass will offer a three-quarter brother to Full Force as Lot 18. He is from the first crop of Deep Field’s Group I winning sprinter Portland Sky and is the third foal from Exceed and Excel mare Jawhara, whose first two foals are both now winners.
His third dam is stakes-placed Cirque du Soleil, a full sister to champion sire Fastnet Rock, so there is some real quality to the pedigree.
More than half of the draft are by first season sires with Captivant, Portland Sky, Profiteer and Tiger of Malay all represented with additional highlights below and to see the full draft click here:
Lot 30 Colt Portland Sky x Kiss in the Rain, by Manhattan Rain
Half-brother to two winners and comes from the Singles Bar branch of the Easy Date family that has produced Group I winners King’s Legacy and Oohood as well as champion sire Not a Single Doubt.
