Media Release - Wednesday Feb 19

The draft will include a Blue Point daughter of G1 Blue Diamond winner Catchy and a Stay Inside daughter of G1 winner Sheidel, as well as weanlings by the likes of proven stallion Toronado and hugely popular young sire Home Affairs.

“It’s been fairly well publicised now that I’ve sold the farm and I’m racing around 25 horses but our new policy now – in a joint venture with Noorilim – is we’re selling all of our foals as weanlings moving forward on an ongoing basis,’’ Crabtree said.

“It is a beautiful group of weanlings going to the Australian Weanling Sale, sons and daughters of some of my best ever mares including Catchy, Sheidel, Sistonic etc. It’s not going to be easy to say goodbye to them but it’s how we are doing things permanently now.

“This presents an opportunity for anybody and everybody to buy into some of the great families in Australian racing and I have no doubt buyers will fall in love with these weanlings once they see them for themselves.’’

Another highlight lot set to feature in the sale is the Too Darn Hot son of top-class 2YO Enbihaar, a brother to current star filly Too Darn Lizzie which is set to be offered at the sale by Widden Stud.

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch added: “Really it’s an honour that Robert and Sylvie have given us the opportunity to offer these weanlings in Sydney in May.

“Robert has an extraordinary passion for racing and breeding and he deserves huge credit for what he has achieved as an owner and a breeder.

“His red and white silks are synonymous with top-class racehorses and elite breeding stock in Australia and he has cultivated some wonderful pedigrees during his time as a breeder.

“The Too Darn Hot – Enbihaar colt is a potentially very special offering also, he is an extraordinarily well-credentialled horse and it’s exciting that he will be part of the catalogue.

“The opportunity to invest in weanlings of such quality as prospective racehorses and then breeding prospects of the future is hugely exciting and one that I’m sure a lot of people are going to be very excited about.’’
