Exceptional Racehorses Make Exceptional Sires

Tara Madgwick - Friday February 10
The famous colours of Dato Tan Chin Nam were carried to glory by champion racehorse So You Think and the highly talented Eurozone, so it's not surprising to see their offspring in the Think Big Stud draft for the 2017 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

The BOBS eligible draft of five features one quality filly by So You Think and four youngsters by Eurozone, whose progeny at this sale are eligible to win the $100,000 Newgate Farm bonus paid to the recorded buyer of any of his yearlings that return to win the 2018 Inglis Classic race.

Eurozone was a stylish winner of his only two starts as a juvenile before training on to win the Group II ATC Stan Fox Stakes. He also confirmed his class at the elite level with placings in the Group I MRC CF Orr Stakes and ATC Randwick Guineas.

His sire Northern Meteor, was the Champion Australian First Season Sire of 2012/2013 with 18 first crop winners to his credit, so there is every reason to believe Eurozone can follow in his footsteps and make a quick impression next season when his first two year-olds hit the track.
