Yes He's Something Special!

Kitchwin Hills is renowned for producing top class race horses and they include Group winners Pierata, Dreamforce, Splintex, Dubious, Vow and Declare and Red Tracer just to name a few.

Set in the idyllic Isis Valley in Scone NSW, the property is rich in limestone and the undulating hills for which it is named and the team are convinced these natural assets are a huge part of their success.

In recent years, one of their many star graduates has been Champion 3YO colt and The Everest hero YES YES YES.

At Inglis Easter this year, Kitchwin Hills present one of only three of his yearlings to be offered at Riverside Stables and  Lot 455 is a standout colt from stakes placed winning Fastnet Rock mare Workdrinks, who has made a flying start at stud with her first two foals already promising winners.

Lot 455 Yes Yes Yes colt from Workdrinks

This colt is just her third foal and she’s already produced talented stakes horse INHIBITIONS, a 2YO filly by Zoustar that was purchased by Godolphin from KWH last year at Inglis Easter for $380,000. 

The 3YO out of Workdrinks is progressive I Am Invincible colt Lubrication, who sold for $400,000 as a yearling and is currently in work with Matthew Dunn and has stakes aspirations.

A brilliant winner of the $150,000 BRC Pierata Plate at Doomben in December, Lubrication  spelled briefly following that performance and returns to racing at Doomben this Saturday with two recent trials under his belt.

A good showing will see his trainer chart a possible course to the Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap in June.

Fastnet Rock is doing an exceptional job as a broodmare sire and Workdrinks’ mother Slapstick was a Group III winner tracing back to the great champion mare Emancipation.

 A current family which looks to be on the move, Lot 455 is certainly a colt not to be missed at Inglis Easter!
