When entries were taken for the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale last year a colt by Star Witness from Zouper Star was hardly seen as a standout offering, but events of the last six months will have this youngster as one of the must inspect horses of the sale.
His older half-sister Streisand made her debut last spring with a second in the Listed VRC Maribyrnong Trial and was triumphant last Saturday when beating the colts to win the $2million Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes.
Her yearling half-brother will be offered at Oaklands in the draft of Newhaven Park as Lot 458 and is the only yearling in this sale by proven G1 sire Star Witness, who is also enjoying success as a sire of sires through his sons Star Turn and Graff.
Like his half-sister, he is a strong well grown individual with a good attitude that will stand him in good stead this week given the attention he is sure to receive!
Newhaven will offer a draft of 17 and seven are by the farm’s proven sires Cool Aza Beel and Xtravagant.
Lot 99 Filly Cool Aza Beel x Heriz, by Redoute’s Choice
By the sire of outstanding Group I winning 2YO Cool Archie, this filly is a half-sister to dual Group III winner Jamaican Rain and Group II placed Diasonic, plus two more winners being from the good producer Heriz, who traces back to a top class international Black Type family.
Lot 251 Colt Xtravagant x Paris Lights, by Snitzel
By the sire of G2 winner Lavish Girl and million dollar earner Nadal, this colt is the third foal of winning daughter of stakes-winner City of Song with third dam Songs of Vienna also a stakes-winner. This is the same female family that produced Lavish Girl, so is a proven recipe for success.
