An outstanding filly by leading New Zealand sire Per Incanto from Winter Sky (IRE), an Invincible Spirit half-sister to Transfers, the dam of Group 1 winner Tom Kitten and stakes winners Va Via and Promotions. This filly was bred and raised at one of New Zealand’s very best nurseries, Little Avondale, a stud famed for producing 41 individual Group 1 winners.
By leading 2yo sire Extreme Choice from the multiple Group winner Istanford (USA), this filly was raised at the top Golden Slipper-producing nursery of Newgate Farm and will get every opportunity of success under the guidance of Anthony Cummings, the trainer of her sire’s best daughter and DGR’s up-and-coming 2yo Group placegetter Extreme Diva.
In the make and shape of his leading sire, So You Think, this colt is from the 3yo stakes performer Valley Sweetheart. Hailing from a front-running family, he represented great buying very early on at Inglis Classic and is a type that is destined to follow in the footsteps of So You Think’s best progeny.
With loads of natural muscle, strength and a top pedigree on her side, this filly was a compelling buy for DGR’s Duncan Ramage. By the Group-winning Invincible Spirit stallion Ancient Spirit, she is from an impeccably related mare from one of New Zealand’s most distinguished nurseries.
A beautifully bred filly by exciting freshman So You Think stallion Peltzer. Her Not a Single Doubt dam was unbeaten as a juvenile and is already doing an excellent job at stud, producing a stakes-winning 2yo in Lord Cosmos.
An embodiment of speed in every conceivable aspect, this filly has the precocity, class and scope to be a top two-year-old and beyond. By exciting freshman sire Anders, she is from the Group-producing mare Think Icon, a daughter of up and coming Group 1 2yo damsire So You Think.
A value purchase endorsed by the astute buying power of DGR’s Duncan Ramage and the formidable training combination of Anthony & Sam Freedman. This colt is from the first crop of dual Champion Miler Circus Maximus, from an impeccably related mare by Champion Broodmare Sire O’Reilly.
This filly is a queen in every respect and is the type of horse we come to New Zealand to buy. From a leading nursery with an excellent pedigree and physique to match, she is destined for success and will get every chance under the watchful eye of top fillies trainer John Sargent.
Infallible in every respect, this colt is the perfect example of breeding excellence, being a son of prolific sire So You Think, and out of a beautifully related Charge Forward mare. He was hugely inspected and the reward was there for those who were patient and in a position to bid very late in the sale.
This filly really has it all; type, presence, movement, and an illustrious pedigree. By one of Australia’s very best sires in So You Think, she is from the Group performed and stakes-producing Fastnet Rock mare Miss Foxwood.
The upward trajectory in this colt’s pedigree is soaring at serious speed. By proven trans-Tasman Group 1 sire Proisir, he was purchased at enormous value just moments before his half-brother bolted in to win authoritatively on debut at Warwick Farm.
This filly possesses faultless pedigree and type, and we just had to have her. By a leading sire in So You Think, she is from a stakes-winning Galileo mare and a half-sister to three stakes horses, including G1 QLD Derby winner Magicool.
A stunning daughter of exceptional Group 1 sire So You Think from a stakes-placed Fastnet Rock mare that holds a perfect producing record. She’s faultless in every sense of the word and is poised to become one of her sire’s best performers.
A superb athlete by the sire of the moment Justify. He’s out of an ultra-fast, stakes-placed Stravinsky mare and trainer John Thompson declared him as “the best type that he has purchased since taking out his own trainer’s license.”
This colt was the bargain buy of Inglis Classic. Offered as Lot 301, he was purchased for $50,000 from leading Group 1 vendor, Kia Ora Stud. He was hugely popular and with his famous sire’s looks, sold out instantly.
A ‘must have’ colt from the first crop by G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Exceedance from a multiple city-winning mare. Quality for days with a ground-covering walk that turned every head on the complex.
A powerhouse of a filly from a family that Duncan and trainer Phillip Stokes know all too well having enjoyed plenty of success with her dam and close relation, Miss Gunpowder. By All Too Hard, she’s got the pedigree to ensure she’ll pack a punch on the racetrack.
