Tara Madgwick - Monday February 5
Fresh from the success of becoming the first vendor to collect a $100,000 bonus for selling the first two year-old stakes-winner offered during the Gold Riband session at Inglis Classic last year, Mike O'Donnell and his Fairhill Farm team are champing at the bit for yearling buyers to arrive at Riverside Stables.

Bred and offered for sale by Fairhill Farm she fetched $150,000 when secured from their draft last year and has already returned over $100,000 in prizemoney for her lucky group of owners.

Fairhill Farm are already showing this year's consignment at Riverside with 10 lovely youngsters including two cracking colts by leading US sire Uncle Mo (USA), who stands at a fee of $US125,000.
