00,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Three Bridges Thoroughbreds draft for Will Johnson Bloodstock / Blue Sky Bloodstock (FBAA) / Freedman Racing, Tifosi was a successful pinhook having been sourced by Paul Willetts from the River Junction draft at Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $26,000.

A handsome dark bay with a blaze, reminiscent of his sire, Tifosi is the first foal of Satisfied, a winning three-quarter sister in blood to dual Group I winning sprinter Response, the dam of Golden Slipper winner Estijaab, who is by Menari’s sire Snitzel.

Pinhook winner becomes a racetrack winner!

Menari started his stud career at Newgate Farm, but has only covered small books of mares with fertility issues hampering his prospects of widespread commercial success.

Now standing at his birthplace Corumbene Stud, Menari has made an encouraging start with four winners from just nine starters and stands at a fee of $16,500.
