It seems the world is changing before our very eyes, but in the face of current uncertainty one thing has not changed and that is the quality of horseflesh Cressfield is so well reputed for producing year on year.
Horses such as current star two year-olds Personal and Cellsabeel as well as Trope, Headwater, Satin Shoes and Onemorenomore have all been sourced from a Cressfield Easter draft.
2020 sees five select fillies being presented for sale and we are confident these fillies represent the soundness, pedigree and type that buyers have come to expect from an elite sale such as Inglis Easter.
To facilitate familiarisation with these yearlings please note our assessments of the yearlings from Liesl Baumann – Cressfield Operations Manager and Kim Rieck – Cressfield Yearling Manager and call 02 6545 0500 to arrange an on farm inspection.

Lot 30 Filly More Than Ready x Lilliburlero – Half-sister to stakes-placed Regimental Band from Group III winner Lilliburlero, a daughter of Champion 3YO Filly Regimental Gal.
Liesl – A filly with an excellent constitution, big and strong like her dam but phenotypically shaped like her sire. A likeable filly who has blossomed throughout the preparation.
Kim – Robust and mature, a very laid- back filly with good bone, deep girth and good shoulder.
Lot 75 Filly Fastnet Rock x Miss Judgement – Full sister to Group I placed Group III winner Missrock, who sold for $2.3million last year to top the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale. She was subsequently sent to the Northern Hemisphere to embark on a stud career that should see her add international success to this prolific Australian Black Type family.
Liesl – Scope! Broad hindquarter enhanced by a great hip length, a lovely sloping shoulder. Really pushes off her hinds when she walks. A mirror image of her full sister, G1 placed Missrock.
Kim – An exceptional filly. Well proportioned, strong shoulder and good hip.
