Co-trainer Peter Snowden confirmed that next month's Gr2 Light Fingers Stakes is the primary autumn target for Kangarilla Joy (Lonhro-Midnight Joy, by Zeditave) following the well bred filly's easy win in the TAB Rewards Handicap (1100m) at Randwick yesterday.
An $840,000 Inglis Easter purchase for US agent John Moynihan from the Turangga Farm draft, Lonhro filly Kangarilla Joy is the most expensive filly by her sire ever sold and she’s also now a winner after saluting on debut at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
Seven juvenile trials were conducted at Rosehill on Tuesday morning with some interesting winners including a filly that has already achieved fame in the sale ring when becoming the most expensive yearling by Lonhro sold in Australia.
Local, interstate and overseas buyers converged on Sydney for a positive opening day to the 2014 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale snapping up 124 of Australasia’s finest bred and conformed young thoroughbreds.
