Inglis Classic Yearling Sale Purchases

Attending the Inglis Classic Sale last week, Laurel Oak were lucky enough to secure four yearlings.

Lot 146: Snitzel x Enchanted Melody filly – Three Bridges Thoroughbreds, $60,000 – Pedigree

Purchased specifically for a client, this Snitzel filly is the first foal of an Encosta de Lago daughter of the stakes placed Flying Dansino, herself a half-sister to the three-time Listed-winning, Group One placed Zagreb.

Lot 153: Zizou x Exclusive Bid filly, Turangga Farm, $50,000 – Pedigree

This filly is a full-sister to three time Sydney winner Zin Zan Eddie.

This filly is bred on the same inbreeding to Easy Date cross that is evident in all of Zizou’s best horses – Zin Zan Eddie, Marseille Roulette and Everage. Last year’s Blue Diamond winner Miracles Of Life is also inbred to Easy Date.

This filly will target the Inglis Classic, Black Opal and Golden Slipper.

Lot 163: Al Maher x Fipple filly – Emirates Park, $6,000 – Pedigree

First foal out of a Viscount three-quarter-sister to Listed winner Tinamou, as well as being a half-sister to the Listed winner Happier.

Third Dam is the stakes winner Whistling, dam of Group Two winner Syrinx, Group Three winner Whistle Up and the Listed-winning, Group One placed Noise.

Lot 275: Northern Meteor x Luscillas Choice – Broadwater Thoroughbreds, $130,000 – Pedigree

She is a filly out of a Redoute’s Choice mare. While buying a Northern Meteor is pretty special in itself this one is particularly special as she is the same Northern Meteor/Redoute’s Choice cross that produced Zoustar, Northern Meteor’s Group One-winning son.
