Karl Milahilievich of Rich Hill Stud, commented on Proisir "He's had massive support and has averaged around 130 mares in the past three seasons with bookings still coming in at the moment for this season."

"We've had great reports from the breakers about his first crop so it's great to have that franked with his first trial runner a winner."

"There are a few going to the breeze ups that we're looking forward to seeing and we are very excited with the breeding season just around the corner."

Two youngsters by Proisir are also up for grabs with a yearling filly out of stakes-performer Nancho Bella at Lot 8 and a two-year-old colt at Lot 12.
