People at Classic - Inspections Are Busy

Breednet - Wednesday Feb 4

Maree McEwan has been out and about talking to some of the major players at the Inglis Classic Sale where it’s fair to say things are busy with a big buying bench limbering up for Sunday’s kick off.

Adam Cook from Kingstar Farm: Very busy. Loving his Extreme Choice filly and Too Darn Hot colt.

Andrew Baddock from Gooree Park: A small draaft that's big on quality. 2 colts, 2 fillies.

Harry McAlpine from Eureka Stud: Loves Classic. Spirit Of Boom and Anamoe colts very appealing.

Sean Dingwall from Blue Gum: Strong Sejardans, a Jacquinot and one by the very under-rated Flying Artie.

Matt Comerford from Widden: A big 46 strong draft. Excited by the first of the Jacquinots.
