Edinburgh Park Go From Strength to Strength

Tara Madgwick - Thursday February 9
It all started for Edinburgh Park back in 2001 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale when they sold subsequent world champion sprinter Silent Witness for $55,000 and 16 years on Ian Smith is still bringing a quality selection to Newmarket including an eye-catching colt by red hot sire Written Tycoon.

Having produced sale-toppers and a steady stream of stakes-winners in the years since 2001, Edinburgh Park has become a respected brand in the marketplace.

Following behind Silent Witness have come the likes of Bull Point, Sister Madly, Dances on Waves, Eximius and current flagbearers Amovatio and Golden Spin.

New stars are emerging all the time from Edinburgh Park including current season two year-olds Spoils, a good third in the Group III MRC Chairman's stakes last Saturday and Serena Bay, who won her first two starts for the Waterhouse/ Bott stable before finishing fourth in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery.
