The Autumn Sun x Azila Filly
A real headline act and the most exciting horse to enter our stable.
We paid $100,000 for this gorgeous filly who I am beyond excited to train as she fits the same middle distance mould as her 5x G1 winning stallions other fillies Autumn Angel, Coco Sun and Vibrant Sun who all excelled as classic horses in their 3yo season.
She hails from a blueblood European family with her dam trained by Dermot Weld and owned by the Aga Khan and she will only develop further in time. The dams first foal sold to Gai Waterhouse for $420,000.
Bred by the world-renowned Arrowfield Stud and is line bred back to The Autumn Sun in her third dam.
She oozes class and we are daring to dream she is our very own Oaks filly.

Nicconi x Shampion Filly
This girl is exactly what the Melbourne Premier Sale has built its reputation on - a correct, highly affordably filly who was great value and is eligible for all the lucrative Victorian race bonuses!
She was great shopping for just $25,000 and is by one of the best bread and butter stallions around. Not only has he produced Nature Strip but 623 other winners (29 at stakes level) and has a winners-to-runners ratio over 70%.
Even more impressive, her dam is by great broodmare sire O'Reilly and was a city winner herself and a 3/4 sister to Group 1 winner Shamrocker and two other Group 2 winners. It's a family that works!
She was a lovely loose walking filly with a great mix of speed and stamina to her pedigree and isn't going to break the bank!

Russian Firebird
Our stables very first yearling purchase, we were pleased to secure the horse at the top of our shortlist after a week of inspecting over 700 horses at Oaklands Junction! As a late October foal with a staying pedigree, we think he slipped through the cracks and were delighted to get him for $60,000 and he will be given all the time he needs.
By a dual G1 winning son of champion sire Camelot, he is a half-brother to Glitzing who won four of her first six starts and it already a metropolitan winner. His third dam is also a half-sister to the great Might and Power.
"He is the kind of horse who you only need to show something once and he picks up on it. He Has an action to die for and he is so balanced when you ride him."
He has really pleased us with all he has done in two preparations of training at Bendigo and is up to galloping stage. With time he will mature into a lovely 1600-2000 metre horse. His breeders have retained a share, such is their faith in the horse, and we are extremely excited to have him in the stable and offer him to you.
Norfolk Victory
This 2yo is a well put together and sensible filly who has taken like a duck to water her early education.
She is a full-sister to high quality galloper Get In The Queue who won three of his first nine starts and finished fourth behind Mr Brightside before succumbing to injury.
Norfolk Victory has been in work at Bendigo and has shown that she is clean winded and has a fluent action and is now enjoying a spell over the new year period before ramping up her workload from February onwards towards a trials.
She is off a well-respected boutique Victorian breeder who produced the G1 placed Steparty from a small foal crop and therefore Vobis qualified. He has has given her every chance and kept an interest in the horse and is valued affordably to you at $25,000.
Please feel free to enquire.
Miss Tempestas
Bargain buy who slipped through the cracks as one of the very last lots of the sale and still has plenty of maturing to do.
The King's Legacy progeny have sold upwards of $750k and being a late October foal we were able to sneak this girl for just $6,000! She will be given all the time she needs to furnish into herself and make a nice staying three-year-old.
She is the half-sister to recent Strathalbyn Cup winner Stormsarrived.
By a dual G1 winning stallion while her dam was a Flemington winner.

Etched In Blue
Aren't the Blue Point's flying? This is one of the sires most affordable progeny available in Australasia and was selected by highly regarded bloodstock agent Jeremy Rogers who has an eye for a bargain price for just $10,000!
Blue Point was a champion racehorse and the only horse to win 3x G1 sprints at Royal Ascot, whose yearlings have averaged $135k this season and sold upwards of $900k! He had nine 2yo winners in his first Australian crop and the winners keep rolling including the 3YO Magic Millions Guineas winner Bosustow!
He continues to handle the workload and improve with every piece of work and had his first educational jump out at the start of 2025. He showed nice early speed and traveled up nicely and was given an easy time of things, but we saw enough to give him a small freshen-up and set him for the $250k Vobis Gold Rush at Bendigo on April 12!
"The breed are flying and he is very typical of what I have seen from them, he has a big backside on him and is built for speed. He looks push button and he is coping with the work a lot of horses can't at the same stage - he is a natural born runner."
He is out of an Irish winning Dansili mare who is one of the most successful broodmare sires producing 80 Group winners and 21 of those at G1 level. The cross has a 100% strike rate - stakes winners to runners - 1 from 1!
Scusies
I am excited to offer this Nicconi filly in conjunction with Roll the Dice Racing.
She was a filly who made my final short list at the Inglis Premier Sales sales so I was delighted to receive a phone call from the vendor having known my interest, to say due to a change in personal circumstance she was available to buy four months later, broken in and ready to go on with for close to half the reserve!
"I think she's a real chance to run in the early 2yo races, she is certainly the sharpest of my yearling purchases."
The stable finished second in the Vobis Gold Rush with $15k buy Linkvue this year and this girl reminds me of him. Sharing the same sire as Nauture Strip, she will be aimed at the early two-year-old races such is the speed and professionalism she has shown.
