Kitchwin Hills BBQ Ends Long Day on the Road

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday March 24

Kitchwin Hills is a great place to finish a day of yearling inspections with the Inglis touring party ending on Wednesday evening in the company of Mick Malone and his team for some country hospitality and ‘workdrinks’ which brings us to a yearling that caught the eye of Breednet owner Craig Tompson.

Lot 165 is the first foal of stakes-placed Fastnet Rock mare Workdrinks and he’s a colt by champion sire I Am Invincible.

Workdrinks is from stakes-winner Slapstick, whose stakes-placed dam Glasnost is a half-sister to dual Group I winner Virage de Fortune and traces in direct tail female line to Emancipation. This is an outstanding family that keeps delivering the goods.

Another that made an instant impression was Lot 452, a Snitzel colt from talented Group II placed mare Nieta.

Stakes-placed five times, it seems amazing that Nicconi mare Nieta did not actually win a Black Type race, but that shortcoming might mean a slightly discounted price for a yearling from a mare that was morally a stakes-winner if not actually on the record as such.
