Vinery Stud will present a select draft for the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale next week and they include a colt unmistakably stamped by his sire Toronado (IRE) and a Tassort filly with a big pedigree update.
If you had to guess which weanling in this draft was by Toronado, you would not go past Lot 44!
A beautiful red bay in colour like his sire, this colt has the bone and substance that have made the progeny of Toronado great favourites in Hong Kong where their tractability and durability have become a hallmark of the breed.
A half-brother to three winners, this colt is from Spiced, a winning half-sister by Exceed and Excel to G3 winner Brave Mead and SW Solemn from the family of G1 winners La Volta and Mighty Boss.
A stylish filly by Tassort, Lot 117 is the third foal of Wimlah, a metro winning half-sister by Sebring to this season’s classy WA juvenile, Afireofgidgeecoals (Too Darn Hot (GB), winner of the recent Group II WATC Karrakatta Plate.
Her grand-dam Caiguna, is a stakes-winner that has done a super job at stud with nine foals to race all winners and in addition to Afireofgidgeecoals has left G2 placed Serena Bay, the dam of SW West of Africa, who has won over $1.5million in prizemoney.
