Yarraman Park brought 15 yearlings to Inglis Easter this year and enjoyed 100% clearance selling all of them for $7.5 million with an average price of $500,000 and the top seller of the draft was a colt by Wootton Bassett (GB) from Upfront (USA).

The last time Tom Magnier put his name to a million-dollar Wootton Bassett colt it was this year’s Golden Slipper runner-up Wodeton and he went to $1.4 milllion to buy the colt making him the highest-priced yearling for his sire at this sale.

The colt was bred by Jason Abrahams and is a half-brother to G2-placed Direct and is the fourth foal of US-bred War Front mare Upfront, a half-sister to US G2 winner Aspray and daughter of G2-winning Galileo mare Up, a half-sister to UK and French G1 winner Dutch Art.

He was one of two million-dollar-plus yearlings for Yarraman Park at this year’s Easter joining the I Am Invicnible filly from Missile Matra that sold for $1.2 million on Sunday.

“He was always a lovely, scopey Wootton Bassett with a big international pedigree,” said Harry Mitchell.

“We thought Easter was his spot, and we’re delighted.

“Team Coolmore purchased the colt to be trained by Chris Waller that gets every chance. Tick, tick, tick .”
