First Season Winners at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale – Day 1

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 4

The first day of the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale produced some great results for our new group of first season sires, so let’s take a look at some of the highlights for sires that had sales of youngsters for $100,000 or more.

Too Darn Hot (GB)

Darley’s heavy hitter Too Darn Hot (GB) covered an exceptional book of mares in his first Australian season as befitting of a Dubawi colt that was the Champion European 2YO and 3YO Colt of his generation.

He made his mark with a couple of star colts.

 

Too Darn Hot colt from Majesty.

He had the top selling colt of the session with Fairhill Farm’s half-brother to stakes-winner Lady of Honour selling for $320,000 to Peter O’Brien Bloodstock. The colt is from Fastnet Rock mare Majesty, a daughter of Irish Group III winner Kincara Palace (IRE).


Too Darn Hot colt from Birdy O'Reilly

Also a hot commodity was the Too Darn Hot colt from Birdy O’Reilly offered by Cannon Hayes Stud that made $170,000 to the bid of STAS Bloodstock. He is the second foal of a half-sister to Group III placed Oscar Zulu and his third dam is blue hen Parfore, the dam of Group I winners Terravista and Tiger Tees.
