Day 2 of the
Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale was another day to uncover and buy a real gem. In doing so, we added our
second yearling purchase from the Melbourne catalogue to add to our 2014 yearling crop, increasing our overall tally to a
baker's dozen (13) of the highest quality thoroughbred yearlings available for syndication.
On Day 2, we purchased
Lot 243 which was offered in the select
"Blue Riband" section of the sale catalogue. He was a superb colt and we grabbed him for just
$75,000 + GST.
Apart from being an absolute sensational type in conformation, size and scope, he also passed a full veterinary inspection (including X-rays) by our contracted veterinarian Dr. John Walker.
Our colt is:
By outstanding sire
HIGH CHAPARRAL (by Sadler’s Wells) -
Champion Australian Sire (AEI) twice, Sire of over
50 Stakes Winners including superstars
SO YOU THINK, IT'S A DUNDEEL, SHOOT OUT, MONACO CONSUL, DESCARADO, etc., etc., etc.

QUEEN'S SUITE is a daughter of
LA MAISON (she’s our colt's Grand-dam).
LA MAISON won 2 races in Sydney and is a blood-sister to the dam of Stakes Winner
BORDER TIME, 1/2 sister to Stakes Winner
YOUNG BLOOD and a 1/2 sister to the dam of Stakes Winner
AVULSION.
LA MAISON has been a wonderfully successful broodmare. She produced
14 foals, all raced, 12 Winners including the
Gr2 Winning and Gr1 Placed REGAL CHAMBER.
A successful racehorse in her own right,
REGAL CHAMBER has produced
Gr1 Winner REGAL CHEER and now
REGAL CHEER is the dam of the latest Stakes Winning addition to this pedigree in
KNOYDART – a recent
LR Winner (twice) and
Gr1 placed.
Apart from boasting such a wonderfully successful pedigree full of
high quality Stakes Class horses, the genetics of this cross are also simply outstanding.
To date there has been
5 Stakes Winners bred on this
HIGH CHAPARRAL - SIR TRISTRAM cross including arguably his
Best Son IT'S A DUNDEEL along with
FAIRY OAK, HIDDEN ASSET, SHOW THE WORLD and
VAQUERA.
Whilst the
SADLER'S WELLS (sire of
HIGH CHAPARRAL) over
SIR TRISTRAM (sire of
MARAUDING) cross has produced
24 Stakes Winners to date including other
Gr1 Winners PERLIN, SCENIC SHOT as well as
ABBADENA, COUP ENTERPRISE, ELATHEA, FULMONTI, GALIZANI, JUSTINE COUP, MAJESTICAL, MALGARA MISS, MAREA ALTA, MONTAHLIA, SAIN KHAPITAL, SPACECRAFT, SPIRIT OF TARA, SUNDAY GOLD, THE MEISTA, VISUAL DISPLAYS and WELLBEING.
As can be determined by statistical fact, this cross is highly successful and in the Australian Thoroughbred Industry is considered an
A +++ mating. Also the yearling was ranked in the
Best of Sale Rating Score - placing him in the top echelon of this Melbourne Premier catalogue.
So with such a wonderful pedigree both commercially and genetically, matching a sensational type on conformation, size and scope and then, being fully passed physically by our veterinarian with the corresponding approval of the X-rays, this colt was a highly desirable purchase for Team Dynamic, so we made him a high priority to obtain prior to the commencement of the sale.
We considered this colt to be the best by the sire
HIGH CHAPARRAL at the Sale and our vet
Dr. John Walker and our independent bloodstock advisor
Gary Mudgway both wholeheartedly agreed with our assessment.
We had valued the colt well over
$100,000 mark, so to secure him for only
$75,000 + GST makes him a fantastic addition to our team and a horse we will be proud to offer for sale in the coming weeks.
Having now secured 2 wonderful colts, this will most likely conclude our buying at the Melbourne Sale however we shall be closely monitoring Day 3 with in case one of the 3 remaining yearlings we have on our list represent great buying and then we will swoop. Otherwise we shall turn our attention to Australia’s Major Yearling Sale at Easter.
