In the build up to the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, we have picked out three yearlings who have had substantial pedigree updates in the past couple of months.
Today, we look at a Hellbent colt whose half-brother has won twice recently, a son of No Nay Never (USA) whose relative has been a black-type winner and a Churchill (Ire) colt whose profile has been significantly lifted by a Group 1 triumph in Hong Kong.
Lot 61 – Hellbent x Jacquetta (Encosta De Lago) – On Account of Newhaven Park
Jacquetta was a five-time winner and stakes-placed and has a 100 per cent record at stud, having produced Rocquette (Hinchinbrook), who has twice been successful, and Turquoise Hope (Snitzel) has posted two wins and a placing for trainer Phillip Stokes since the catalogue went to print.
This colt’s dam is a sister to the G2 Tulloch S. winner Count Encosta and a half-sister to the G2 Alister Clark S. winner Lieutenant (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) with this season’s G2 Wakeful S. winner Victoria Quay (Dundeel {NZ}) is also on the pedigree page.
Lot 61 – Hellbent x Jacquetta (colt)
Lot 245 – No Nay Never (USA) x Powerplay (NZ) (Power {GB}) – On Account of Coolmore
This colt’s dam was unraced and is a half-sister to stakes performer Midnitemagicman (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}), who has been a winner in Hong Kong as Little Island and the family of the G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas winner and sire Danske (NZ).
Talented Western Australian mare She’s Alight (NZ) (Tavistock {NZ}) provided a black-type boost when she was successful in the Listed Jungle Dawn Classic and runner-up in the Listed Starstruck Classic while her brother Tavis Town (NZ) has also posted a further success at Eagle Farm.
Lot 245 – No Nay Never (USA) x Powerplay (NZ) (colt)
Lot 347 – Churchill (Ire) x Storm Siren (Excites) – On Account of Widden Stud
This colt’s dam Storm Siren was a four-time winner and is a half-sister to the dual Group 3 winner Siren’s Fury (Myboycharlie {Ire}) and to the top Hong Kong performer Hot King Prawn (Denman) who has done Widden’s youngster a major favour.
Since the catalogue has been printed, he has added to his impressive record with victory in the G1 Centenary Sprint Cup and won the G2 Jockey Club Sprint to go with a brace of previous successes at Group 2 level.
