Opportunities Abound - Twin Hills Inglis Great Southern Stars

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Monday Jun 8

Twin Hills Stud are set to be busy at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale this week with a draft of 19 youngsters by 14 different stallions that include Australian Horse of the Year Anamoe.

Anamoe was the dominant first season sire at the major 2026 yearling sales with his progeny going into the best stables in the land, so there is intense interest in his second crop.

Lot 79 is the half-sister to G1 winner Chain of Lightning.

Anamoe has just three entries for this sale and Twin Hills will offer the first of them and Lot 79 is a filly with a big pedigree being a half-sister to $2.7million earning Group I winner Chain of Lightning from well related producer Magic Art.

Chain of Lightning was bought by Yulong for $2.5 million in 2024 at MM National, so will get every opportunity at stud with real potential to further enhance the value of this lovely weanling filly, who comes from a prolific Black Type family.

Her grand-dam is Group II winning juvenile Mardi’s Magic and further back the family has produced Champion Miler Racing to Win and Everest hero Classique Legend making for serious residual value.
