$600,000 Hellbent Filly Sets New Benchmark for Her Sire

Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 15

Yarraman Park's Hellbent was always going to have a good sale at Magic Millions with his best ever draft of yearlings to be offered and a slew of smart gallopers racing up a storm over the summer and on Wednesday he made a splash with a cracking filly that sold for $600,000.

Offered by Widden Stud, the filly is the third foal from Group III placed Street Cry (IRE) mare La Tigeresa and was knocked down to Michael Freedman Racing/AWB.

$600,000 Hellbent filly from La Tigeresa will be trained by Michael Freedman.

She is now the highest priced yearling ever sired by Hellbent.

“Hellbent is doing a super job, particularly with his fillies,” said Michael Freedman.

“A really good job all round. She’s a lovely moving filly and looked quite sharp off a very good farm in Widden.

“I love buying off a good farm, so she ticked a lot boxes.”

La Tigeresa produced a colt foal by Hellbent last spring.

Yarraman Park were also well rewarded for a Hellbent filly from Bonita Aurelia(NZ) that sold to Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott/Kestrel Thoroughbreds for $350,000.

Hellbent has 12 more yearlings to be offered.
