Yarraman Park enjoyed great results at the 2017 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale selling 12 yearlings in Books One and Two for $5,115,000 highlighted by a super special colt that sold for $2.4 million. By renowned international shuttle sire Medaglia D’Oro (USA) from young stakes-winner Hoss Amor, the show stopping colt was foaled and raised at Yarraman and bought by a syndicate comprising Coolmore / Stonestreet / Aquis / Blue Sky Bloodstock (FBAA) / Unifaith. John Moynihan, bloodstock agent for Stonestreet Farms, arrived in Sydney at 7am Friday, was inspecting horses at Newmarket by 10am and spotted the Hoss Amor colt shortly after. “I was looking at another horse in the courtyard and quite a distance away I saw this colt and was like ‘who is that? I’ve got to go see that horse’. He just looks like a really special horse,” Moynihan said. “Everybody came together because everybody wanted the horse so we thought it best to go at it as a team rather than go against each other, knowing he was going to attract a lot of money. “We got lucky. It was a lot to give but we think he’s a special horse and I think you’ve got to step up to get those ones that look like they can be that good.” Arthur Mitchell described the colt as “the perfect yearling”. “He was always very nice but I think he’s bloomed in prep and as every day went on, he was just the perfect yearling, he never put a foot wrong,” Mitchell said. “He’s just a lovely-natured nice colt but obviously we didn’t think he’d make that sort of money. “We knew we were bringing a nice colt down.” While our star sire I am Invincible was also making plenty of headlines, his stable mate Hinchinbrook was not to be left out. Hinchinbrook had five yearlings offered across Books One and Two and all were sold with his best result a filly from Dance With Zeel that made $280,000 for Willow Park Stud when secured by Amelia Park Racing.
