Holbrook Draft Features First Season Favourites

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 26

There will be tremendous interest in the first weanlings by outstanding sire prospects Ole Kirk and Bivouac at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale next Monday and Tuesday and Holbrook Thoroughbreds have a select draft of four that includes youngsters by both.

The Champion 3YO Colt of his generation and winner of both the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas and Golden Rose, Ole Kirk is set to become the latest sire son success story for champion sire Written Tycoon.

An expensive yearling, bred and sold by Gilgai Farm from their revered Helsinge family, Ole Kirk is from a full sister to Black Caviar and half-sister to All Too Hard, so has every box ticked on the check list of future sire success.

Lot 160 Colt Ole Kirk x No Looking Back, by Redoute’s Choice

Half-brother to four winners, two of them metro winners Comrade Rosa and Fortune Seeker, who are by Capitalist and Written Tycoon, so the sireline obviously works with No Looking Back, a stakes-winning daughter of champion sire Redoute’s Choice. 

Second in the G1 Blue Diamond, No Looking Back was a top class juvenile, who lost the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on protest and her dam Mirror Mirror won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, so there is plenty of precious speed in this family tracing back to Misty Vain, whose daughters founded the ‘Tennessee’ family noted for G1 winners such as Malaguerra and Aloha.

Lot 358 Filly Ole Kirk x Amarela (NZ), by Pentire (GB)

Fourth foal of stakes-placed Amarela, a half-sister to G3 winner Do You Think from stakes-winner Chickens, a grand-daughter of G1 VATC 1000 Guineas winner Copperama. This is the family of multiple G1 winning fillies Faint Perfume and Danendri.

A superstar sprinter for Godolphin, Bivouac was the Champion 3YO Sprinting Colt winning the G1 Golden Rose, Darley Sprint Classic and Newmarket Handicap.

By champion sire Exceed and Excel, Bivouac is a three-quarter brother-in-blood to four time G1 winner Guelph from the famed Jesmond Lass family that has produced countless G1 winners.

Lot 314 Colt Bivouac x Tonza Rossa, by Testa Rossa

Half-brother to a winner and is fourth foal of a winning half-sister to G2 winning $1.9million earner Grey Song, G3 winner Tonz of Fun and to the dam of G3 winner Dirty Thoughts.

 

Lot 419 Filly Cosmic Force x Clarify, by Danehill Express

From the second crop of a promising young sire, whose first crop yearlings have sold for up to $250,000. Half-sister to a six time winner from stakes-placed Clarify, a daughter of stakes-winner Visual Displays.
