Collingrove Stud have a select draft of six to offer at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale this Thursday and Friday and won’t have to wait long to test the market given they will offer Lot 3, a lovely filly by Zousain.
Zousain is poised for an upswing with his current crop of weanlings the biggest and best quality he has ever produced with seven of his weanlings selling this year already for $100,000 or more.
Lot 3 is a stylish bay filly from stakes-winning Domesday mare Have Another Glass, a half-sister to stakes-winner Von Costa Glass.
With his oldest progeny now four year-olds, Exceedance is a young sire doing a fine job with three Group winners this season in Cristal Clear, Dance to the Boom and Pure Excess.
One of his best nicks is with mares by Northern Meteor and Lot 215 is a colt bred on this very cross that has produced three winners from four runners including stakes-winner Swiftfalcon and stakes-placed Brave One.
He is a half-brother to smart metro winner Heavenly Impact and is the fourth foal of Striking Meteor, an unraced half-sister to Group III winner Ammirata, whose 2YO colt Lord Bassett, trialled in encouraging fashion this week at Warwick Farm for the Annabel and Rob Archibald stable.
The best Tagaloa to race so far has been talented Group II winning grey filly Salty Peal, who has won just shy of $1million prizemoney and Collingrove will offer another grey daughter of the G1 Blue Diamond winning sire as Lot 432.
She is the fourth foal of Lady Magic, a winning half-sister to Group III winner Scarlet Billows, the dam of Group placed Gleneagles.
I Am Immortal is a great young VOBIS sire that has already produced two stakes-winners and four more stakes-placed horses with his star performer Group II winning sprinter McGaw, who won the $1million VOBIS Platinum Showdown at two.

Lot 326 Colt I Am Immortal x Beam Ahead, by Dream Ahead (USA)

An elite stayer that was just as effective at 2000m, Gold Trip will be looking to emulate the success of other Melbourne Cup winning sires such as Fiorente (IRE) and Shocking.
Lot 169 Colt Gold Trip (Fr) x Saving Grace, by Pierro
Half-brother to metro winner Boltsaver and is third foal of an unraced grand-daughter of Group II winner Piper Star. Mares by dam sire Pierro are proving very successful producing 11 SW’s to date including G1 winners Jacquinot, Femminile and Fireball Miss.
