Tara Madgwick - Monday Feb 9

Leading international sire Justify (USA) has some lovely Australian bred yearlings being offered at sales this year and Lime Country Thoroughbreds were well rewarded when their colt from blueblood Pierro mare Phylicia sold for $350,000 at Inglis Classic on Monday.

$350,000 Justify (USA) colt from Phylicia.

The athletic bay was snapped up by Darby Racing / Bjorn Baker Racing/ Clarke Bloodstock (FBAA) and is a full brother to quality mare Just Feelin’ Lucky, winner of the Group III BRC Gunsynd Classic and Listed Wyong Mona Lisa Stakes.

Jo Griffin of Lime Country was delighted to get a great result for the colt’s breeder Catherine Remond, who is a new client for the farm.

Remond has bred some outstanding horses over the years and particularly from this female family which traces back to her Group II winning blue hen Twiglet, the dam of Group I winners Fairy King Prawn and Easy Rocking, as well as being grand-dam of dual Group I winner Cosmic Endeavour, a half-sister to the dam of this colt.

The sire of 56 SW’s nine of them G1 winners, US Triple Crown hero Justify no longer shuttles to Coolmore Australia from Kentucky, but two of his sons made their debut on the roster last spring in 2024 European Horse of the Year City of Troy (USA) and Storm Boy.
