Sires With Winners - Monday November 3

Thursday inspections at Inglis Melbourne Premier have ramped up with vendors reporting “run off our feet” and Maree McEwan has been around talking with the major players, including one farm that’s first-up from a 10 year spell.

The Group I ATC Surround Stakes (1400m) is the only Group I race just for three year-old fillies over a distance less than 1600m and as such attracts the cream of the crop.

Yearlings sold by Vinery Stud have enjoyed a hot run of stakes success in recent weeks with feature wins for exciting three year-old old colt Sixties, unbeaten juvenile Lara Antipova and rising star Sass Appeal.

Having claimed a first Group One victory for Cambridge Stud owners Sir Brendan and Lady Jo Lindsay with Jaarffi at Ellerslie last Saturday, Lance Noble is hoping to add to that tally back at headquarters on Champions Day.

The quality packed catalogues for two Magic Millions Yearling Sales next month have been further boosted with supplementary catalogues released.

The quality racing and breeding prospect Manolo Bling (Grunt) topped today’s Inglis Digital February (Late) Online Sale, selling to Highgrove Stud’s Ron Gilbert for $275,000.

Inspections are underway at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale at Oaklands Junction in Melbourne and Maree McEwan has kicked off chatting to some of the major players.

With a significant draft of 33 yearlings set to sell at this year’s Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Blue Gum Farm’s tried and tested path of supporting their local sale continues to pay dividends with a host of stakes-winning graduates off the farm as well as numerous Leading Vendor titles over the years.

Four Group 1 winners are set to trial at Caulfield Heath on Wednesday morning as they build towards upcoming top-level targets.

Unbeaten two-year-old colt Warwoven will be back at the races for the first time since the beginning of January when he lines up in the Gr.2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday for trainer Bjorn Baker.
