A close relation to Australia Stakes Whitefriars can be found in the upcoming Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale catalogue.

Lot 644 is a Churchill Downs filly from the draft of Little Plains Stud. The filly is from the Barathea mare Smooth As Silk, who is a half-sister to Whitefriars dam Alsatia.

The 2011 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale will be held at Oaklands from February 28 to March 3.

Whitefriars, purchased for $80,000 from the 2007 Inglis Classic sales, is a 5YO by Arena from Alsatia.

The Lomar Park Stud graduate is now the winner of six races for earnings topping $600,000.

He is expected to be given his chance at Group 1 glory and a re-match with Typhoon Tracy in the CF Orr Stakes at his next outing.

The Australia Stakes runner-up Undeniably cost $360,000 at the 2008 Inglis Australian Easter Sales. He is a 4YO gelding by Fastnet Rock from Suggestive, the dam of six winners headed by G1 winner Sky Cuddle and G3 winner Sky Love.

Turangga Farm will offer a Redoute's Choice three-quarter-brother to Undeniably at this year's Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Easter also presents the opportunity to tap into the wonderful family of Typhoon Tracy, with fillies by Tale Of The Cat and Dylan Thomas.
