CHRISTMAS SALE CATALOGUE ONLINE

3rd Dec 2007

The catalogue for the Christmas Thoroughbred Sale - the first thoroughbred auction in Sydney post-EI - this Friday, December 7 at Newmarket, is now available online.

As indicated last week, some high-class breeding stock with pedigrees that are very current, are to be offered but there is also a good selection of racing stock that should suit a variety of purpose and price range. With racing now resumed in Sydney and Brisbane, the time is right for owners and trainers that have been affected by the Equine Influenza problem to inspect and add to their stable.

Rightson (65) is a dual Sydney winner that was also Group-placed in the Caulfield Sprint. As a brother to the good Group-winning sprinter Mistegic, Rightson is an obvious prospect with a host of opportunity available anywhere in Australia.

Forestreno (80), and Encosta Tsyzu (84) are both stakes-placed while Dubai’s Choice (64) is a Sydney winning son of Redoute’s Choice from the immediate family of Group 1 winner and sire Encounter. Considering his pedigree, the four-year-old will have some residual value when his racing days are over.

Another winning colt by Champion sire Redoute’s Choice is Redoubtablemperor (62), who hails from the immediate family of Champion Filly Natalie Too and traces directly to the brilliant filly Caterina, winner of the Nunthorpe Stakes.
