Widden Stud has an excellent record as leading vendor at the Inglis Breeze Up Sale with speedy two-year-olds who rapidly open their winning accounts, and this year’s draft will prove no exception with youngsters representing the world’s hottest freshman sires as well as proven stallions Marscay, Snippets and Marauding.

"We’ve got a really nice mix of two-year-olds by proven Australian sires like Zeditave and well-performed first crop sires such as Honour and Glory and Hennessy, both of whom are chalking up plenty of winners in the US at present," says Widden Stud marketing manager Antony Thompson.

"The Honour and Glory colt is extremely well-balanced, very correct and an excellent mover."

Anabaa (USA) enjoyed a sensational Australian start with classy filly Donna Natalia winning the Listed Gimcrack Stakes by six lengths and last weekend his filly Amonita won the Group One Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp.

Widden’s draft includes a lovely long-striding Anabaa colt from Outstanding Bid.

"He is a well-balanced, quality horse with plenty of height and a stride to match. He is a half-brother to multiple stakes winning South African filly Outstanding Star," says Thompson.

"We will also offer a filly by Hennessy out of a full-sister to Golden Slipper winner Burst, from Group One placed mare Sudden," he adds.

Widden’s draft includes a Citidancer colt whose dam is a half-sister to Anne Campbell, the dam of triple G1 winner Desert Wine and dual G1 winner Menifee.

"The Rory’s Jester – Love At Large filly from the family of Valour. She is a lovely mover in the classic mould of her sire," says Thompson of the chestnut bred on the same cross as multiple stakes winner Happy Giggle.

She is a full sister to Clarry Conners’ promising three-year-old Inspire, who will make a late tilt at Melbourne spring carnival riches after winning at Warwick Farm yesterday.

Snippets enjoyed a bumper 1999-2000 season with stakes winners including Pins, Akhenaton, Camena, Actress and High Rolling, and Widden will offer a well-grown Snippets colt from the family of AJC Oaks winner My Brilliant Star.

Flying Spur has also made his mark with four stakes winners to date and Widden will offer one of three Flying Spur horses catalogued, a colt from Bletchingly mare Sovereign View, an unraced half sister to Group One winner Ideal Planet by champion broodmare sire Bletchingly.

The 2000 Inglis Breeze Up Sale catalogue also features an Anabaa filly from SAJC Oaks winner Heavenly Body, and a filly from stakes placed Singles Bar, a half-sister to Snippets.

"The Breeze Up sale is an excellent addition to our annual sales calendar and buyers obviously appreciate the opportunity to witness their potential purchase gallop," says Thompson.

"The breeze up format is ideal for buyers from Hong Kong and Singapore but it also appeals to a local bench that I believe has found great value in some purchases."
