Mill Park Quality Comes to Inglis Easter

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 24

Leading South Australian vendors Mill Park Stud only bring the cream of their crop to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and the draft for 2022 features the half-brother to a freakishly good Group I winning sprinter.

Run Fox Run was a superstar sprinter in South Africa, sold by Mill Park at Inglis Easter.

In 2017, Mill Park brought a Foxwedge filly from Victory Cry to Inglis Easter that caught the eye of South African buyers Craig Roscoe and Brett Crawford, who bid $420,000 to secure the half-sister to stakes-winner Guard of Honour.

Sent back to South Africa, Run Fox Run showed immediate talent and quickly built an impressive record winning eight of 11 starts with multiple stakes wins highlighted by a victory in the Group I Cape Flying Championship at Kenilworth.

Half-brother to G1 winner Run Fox Run.

Her half-brother by Written Tycoon will be offered by Mill Park as Lot 8, so will be the first yearling by the reigning champion sire to go through the ring and is a top class colt from a family packed with Black Type performers.

“The Written Tycoon half brother to Run Fox Run is very typical of the family. He has a lot of quality and that exceptionally athletic stride that the family continues to produce but above all, a great temperament," said Chris Watson.

"This colt continues to amaze me with his ability to mentally deal with any situation.

"Run Fox Run caught the eye from day one and it has been an absolute joy to watch her perform at the highest level on the world stage. We can only hope that the family can produce another like her in the near future.”

Run Fox Run aside, the Mill Park honour roll of success is constantly evolving with current star performers in 2021 / 2022 that were raised / sold by Mill Park including: Group I SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes winner Instant Celebrity, $3.6 million earning Champion 2YO Filly Away Game, $3.1 million earner Dalasan, $2.2million earner Warning, $1million earning Group winner Peltzer (now retired to stud) and Group and Listed winners Zoushine, Seradess, Cerberus, Crown Towers, Ecumenical and Senor Toba.

Also to be offered by Mill Park at Inglis Easter are:

Lot 215 Colt Zoustar x Hussy by Choice, by Hussonet (USA)

Half-brother to two metro winners from stakes-winner Hussy by Choice, a grand-daughter of stakes-winning blue hen St Therese, the dam of Group I winners Castelvecchio and Maid of Heaven as well as Group III winner Mirrasalo, the dam of current star mare Mirra Vision, a close second in the Group I ATC Coolmore Classic.

Lot 224 Filly Brazen Beau x In Style (NZ), by Fast ‘n’ Famous

 

Three-quarter sister to brilliant Group III placed juvenile Total Babe and is the fourth foal of Group I AuRC Railway stakes winning sprinter In Style.

Bred on similar Brazen Beau x Redoute’s Choice cross to Group II placed stakes-winner Larimer Street.

Lot 412 Colt Deep Field x Secretly Discreet, by Lonhro

By a Group I sire that is a firm favourite with Hong Kong buyers and is the first foal of a winning half-sister to stakes-placed Really Discreet and daughter of Group I SAJC Australasian Oaks winner Maybe Discreet .

From the prolific South Australian based ‘Discreet’ Black Type family that has produced countless stakes-winners.
