Harron To Offer Three Colts At Inglis

The Inglis Chairman's Sale of Racing Prospects, which takes place at Riverside Stables Apr. 5, will feature a select draft of three colts offered by James Harron Bloodstock. Harron topped the sale last year when G2 Todman S. winner Gunnison (Aus) (Not A Single Doubt {Aus}) made A$1.4m and next week his trio is headed by Siege Of Quebec (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) who he will offer on behalf of Coolmore Stud and partners. Purchased for A$1.2 million at Inglis Easter as a yearling, Siege of Quebec has twice been placed at stakes level, including when second to Kementari (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}) in the G3 Eskimo Prince S. That winner ran the brilliant Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) to a length and a half last Saturday and as a confirmed Hong Kong special replacement (rating HK85), Siege of Quebec should appeal both to Asian and domestic markets.

Harron also offers the city-winning colts Hypnotist (Aus) (Snitzel {Aus}) and Almighty (Aus) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) from the JHB Colt Group. Winner of his first three starts Hypnotist has also performed with credit at stakes level, including a fourth in the G3 Spring S. and is qualified as a Hong Kong PP import with a HK75 rating. Almighty, a A$700,000 yearling, was an all-the-way winner at Sandown in November. He is also qualified for a Hong Kong PP import at HK70 and was an impressive trial winner on Monday, defeating a smart field of older horses.

“The Inglis Chairman's Sale has revolutionised the sale of racing prospects, giving buyers and vendors the transparency offered by public auction, and I am delighted to present three lightly-raced and physically outstanding colts, each by an Australian champion sire,” Harron commented. “We are honoured that Coolmore and their partners have entrusted Siege of Quebec in our draft, alongside two quality metropolitan gallopers from our colt group in Hypnotist and Almighty, all lightly-raced and with a huge amount of future upside.”
