Trelawney Stud will be represented by eight Ready To Run two-year-olds
at the New Zealand Bloodstock auction this week.
Riversley Park will consign the More Than Ready colt out of Raziyya of Sydney (pictured above), while Diamond Lodge has care over the
remaining seven.
Early education and breeze up preparation of the draft was
completed in Cambridge by Diamond Lodge’s Jeremey Whale and Finbarr Leahy,
after which they relocated to the appropriate vendor.
The eight two-year-olds offer the opportunity to purchase
out of a proven sale, with the Karaka auction producing results far superior in
comparison to similar sales in Australia, from a farm with a record of supplying
competitive horses.
The draft offers a nice mix of proven and potential
sires. Savabeel, More Than Ready and
Tavistock need no introduction, while the two offerings by Shooting To Win and
Atlante are nice types by freshman stallions that proved themselves on the
track and are looking for the opportunity to prove themselves through their progeny.
There have been several exciting pedigree updates since the
catalogue went to print.
Epako, a half to the dam of Lot 9, is now a winner in
Germany adding to an already impressive winning family on the dam’s side.
Mr Clint has had two further feature placings in Singapore
giving a boost to the pedigree of lot 92, the Savabeel colt out of Lagonissi.
Chouxter, who is a half to lot 217 the Tavistock x Ritzy
Lady colt, was placed in his second career start for Darren Weir earlier this
month and only finished .2 lengths off the winner. He is nominated for Moonee Valley on Friday
this week.
Lot 381, the Ocean Park colt out of Bhiwani, is closely related
to Tavidance who has had a win in Australia and ran third in the Listed TCL TV
Stakes at Flemington since the catalogue went to print.
It should also be noted that the Shooting to Win x Enide and
Atlante x Genuine Offer have both been gelded.
Brent and Cherry Taylor welcome any enquires on the draft (which can be viewed here) and will be at Karaka over the coming week.
