Leading Hunter Valley boutique nursery Cressfield are renowned for bringing superior quality to Inglis Easter and their draft of nine sets a high standard this year with every single yearling either out of a stakes-winner or a sibling to a stakes-winner.
The Cressfield quality was demonstrated at Rosehill on Saturday where Cressfield bred and sold Nimalee won the Group II ATC Emanicipation Stakes - read about her here.
Group I winners Secret Agenda and Our Egyptian Raine both have stunning colts to be offered, while not to be missed are yearlings from Group II winners Wild Rain and Jeu de Cartes, Group III winners Lilliburlero and Artistry, plus stakes-winners Shoboard (dam of SW Granny Red Shoes) and Listen Here, dam of Group I winner Shooting to Win and Group II winner Deep Field, both now successful sires.
The only yearling we’ve not touched on is the American Pharoah (USA) colt from blue-blooded stakes-placed import Park Esteem (IRE), who has produced Australian stakes-winners Great Esteem and High Esteem with her five foals to race all being winners.
The first yearling to be offered by Cressfield at this sale as Lot 4, his pedigree bristles with international Black Type making this athletic colt a horse that would be just as much at home at Tattersalls or Keeneland in the Northern Hemisphere.
See the draft at Barn B, Stables 3-8, 12-15.
