In the build up to the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, we will pick out three yearlings each day who have had substantial pedigree updates in the past couple of months.
Today, we look at a half-sister to a recent Oaks winner and the sister to a Group 1 winner as well as a colt whose half-brother continues to improve the pedigree page.
Lot 237 - American Pharoah (USA) x Tavarnelle (Zabeel {NZ}) - On Account of Lime Country Thoroughbreds
Tuscan Queen (Fastnet Rock), this filly's half-sister, was an impressive winner of the G3 Western Australian Oaks on Saturday and is now an odds-on favourite to complete the double in the upcoming G3 WA Derby late this month.
Bred by Matrix Bloodstock, those two fillies are out of Group 3 winner Tavarnelle, who has already produced two other winners. Other names on the page include Group 1 winner Zirna (NZ) (Deputy Governor {USA}) and her Group 3-winning daughter Crafty Irna (Starcraft {NZ}) as well as recent Singapore winner War Dragon (NZ) (Battle Paint {USA}).

Lot 416 - Not A Single Doubt x Drinks All Round (NZ) (O'Reilly {NZ}) - On Account of Segenhoe Stud
There's nothing more a vendor could hope for than a Group 1 pedigree update for a yearling on the eve of a sale. This filly was delivered that by her sister Shout The Bar, who won the G1 Vinery Stud S. at Rosehill last Saturday.
It was particularly satisfying for Segenhoe, who pinhooked this filly last year and have watched her sister win three of her four starts, and place in a G3 Kembla Grange Classic at her other start. Group 1-winning miler Rangirangdoo (Pentire {GB}), also features on the pedigree page.

Lot 443 - So You Think (NZ) x Fill The Page (Dane Shadow) - On Account of Edinburgh Park Stud
This colt's half-brother Fun Fact (The Factor {USA}) continues to live up to his dam's name and fill the page, winning a Randwick in January and then running second in the Listed Canberra Cup, taking his prizemoney to over $430,000. He is already a winner of the G3 Grand Prix S.
The brother to this yearling, Tamasa, is stakes-placed as is the brother to the dam, Patch Adams.
