In the build up to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale Round 2, the Scone Yearling Sale and the Australian Weanling Sale, we will pick out three lots each day who have enjoyed pedigree updates in the lead-up to the auctions.
Today, we check out a daughter of Star Turn whose half-sister is an emerging star, a Snitzel colt who has received a Group 1 fillip from abroad and a weanling whose half-sister raced to a smart debut victory during the week.
Easter Round 2, Lot 11 - Star Turn x Logan’s Choice (Redoute’s Choice) - On account of Vinery Stud
This filly’s half-sister Vanna Girl (Husson {Arg}) has drawn further attention to her sibling with rousing performances during the Queensland winter carnival. She won the Listed Pal O’Neill S. and then confirmed her rising star status with an impressive victory in the G2 The Roses.
Lot 11 - Star Turn x Logan's Choice (filly)
