Lot 19 Colt Pariah x Greytfilly, by Ferocity
From the first crop of brilliant Redoute’s Choice juvenile Pariah and has had a good pedigree update as he is now a half-brother to not one, but two winners since Investor (3g Written Tycoon) won at Canterbury.
Fourth foal of Group III placed Greytfilly from the family of Group winners Bring Me Roses, Face Value and Diamond Earth.
He is a lovely representation of a first season sire. He is a sweet moving colt.
Lot 22 Colt Xtravagant x Hades, by Encosta de Lago
Half-brother to Group III placed Mintha and three other winners from metro winning daughter of Champion 2YO Hasna, a dual Group I winner of $1.2million.
A smart looking colt who looks like a 2 year old. He is a gun Xtravagant colt for the true believers.
Lot 61 Colt Hellbent x Jaquetta, by Encosta de Lago
From the first crop of I Am Invincible’s Group I winner Hellbent from stakes-placed Jaquetta, a sibling to Group winners Count Encosta and Lieutenant. Another with a pedigree update as he is now a half-brother to two winners, Turquoise Hope (3g Snitzel) winning twice since the catalogue went to print.
This colt looks just like his dad, he has a great attitude and is a racehorse in waiting.

Half-brother to metro winner Super Oasis and is third foal of a winning half-sister to Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly and $3.4million earner English from Group II winner Court.

First foal of precocious early two year-old winner Carriages, winner of the $150,000 Magic Millions Ballarat Clockwise Classic from an imported US Black Type family.
