The first progeny of Golden Slipper winning sire Shinzo have been popular at the major weanling sales in recent weeks with a colt from Je Suis Belle selling at Inglis Great Southern on Thursday for $240,000.
Consigned by astute Victorian nursery Burnewang North, the handsome chestnut is the second foal of stakes-winning Bel Esprit mare Je Suis Belle and was purchased by Stefan Pardi’s SP Thoroughbreds.

This colt is the third Shinzo weanling bought this year by SP Bloodstock and they include the filly from Special Lover that topped the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale in Sydney at $600,000.
Je Suis Belle was bought at the MM National Broodmare Sale for $240,000 by Belmont Bloodstock for Burnewang North and they sold her first foal, a filly by Exceed and Excel, as a weanling at the Gold Coast for $320,000 in 2025.
She is proving a most profitable mare and is due to foal this spring to The Autumn Sun.
Standing at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $49,500, Shinzo has three more weanlings to be offered on Friday.
