Best result was the Justify (USA) colt from Kitty Leroy that was bought by Gleneagles Stud as a weanling for $105,000 and then re-offered by Shadow Hill Thoroughbreds fetching $500,000 to the bid of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds.

Waterhouse and Bott train Justify’s outstanding two year-old colt Storm Boy, who is a hot favourite for the Golden Slipper.

This colt is from winning I Am Invincible mare Kitty Leroy, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Group III winning sprinter Super One.

 

$475,000 Deep Field colt from Keeping Score.

Lucky to have a big pedigree update in recent weeks as a full brother to unbeaten Group winning sprinter Master Fay, the Deep Field colt from Keeping Score was the only colt by his sire to be offered at this sale.

He was bought as a weanling for $180,000 by M Patel and re-offered by the Alma Vale Kitchwin Hills Partnership fetching $475,000 when secured by Peter Ng / Shane McGrath.

 

Spitting that pair was a cracking Written By colt from Stay Positive.

Blue Diamond winner Written By is set to have his first Golden Slipper runner in the shape of the Yulong owned colt Straight Charge and his success no doubt inspired Yulong to pay $400,000 for this colt.

$400,000 Written By colt from Stay Positive.

Consigned by Northmore Thoroughbreds the colt is the fourth foal from Stay Positive, a winning half-sister to stakes-placed Spirited Eagle and also to the dam of Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap winer Tyzone, who is by Written Tycoon. It’s a quality family with Group I winners Irish Fling and Final Destination also on the page.
