Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:27

Our decision to keep supporting the Inglis Sydney Easter Yearling Sales was again vindicated with another well-received draft at the Newmarket salegrounds last week.

Emirates Park, owners of Golden Slipper winner Mossfun, purchased our Pins - Kumari filly for Aus $410,000. LA bred the filly in partnership with JML Bloodstock and Barlow Thoroughbreds.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club signed the sales docket at Aus $300,000 for the Stratum colt from Sound Lover's daughter Bellabaci, her first foal and

leading Melbourne trainer Danny O'Brien bought the Makfi half brother to dual Group 3 winning Nadeem mare Sharnee Rose for Aus $200,000.

Towkay had another successful week with the John and Mark Carter bred Shadow Player (Towkay-La Grandezza by Flying Spur) rewarded for her consistency with a nice win at Trentham on Saturday over 1400m, while Hurikin (Towkay-Hurricane Fashion by Hurricane Sky) made it back to back wins with his success over 1400m at Wingatui on Friday.

The spotlight this weekend is the Aus 1 million Group 1 Queen of the Turf Stakes at Randwick, which sees Towkay's grand mare Viadana (Towkay-Yeah Nah by Kinjite) make her Australian debut against the cream of Australia's best female mile talent, including Sharnee Rose (Nadeem - Farasha by Jeune).

They cover all bases and do everything with pride and passion, be it raising their horses, to their staffs attire, to the way they treat clients and visitors
