Twin Hills, located 9km from Cootamundra and approximately 380km from Sydney and widely regarded as the finest thoroughbred stud in the region will be offered for sale this Spring by Inglis Rural Property.
Sydney based owner / breeders Paul Whelan and Wilf Mula have enjoyed much success over the years with horses they have bred at Luskin Park, but it was one that they bought in Flying Artie that had them in the winner's circle after he scored a brilliant win in the Group III MRC Blue Diamond Prelude at Caulfield on Saturday.
The story of Saturday's Group II Schweppes Rubiton Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield is easily told, the Lonhro filly Heatherly went straight to the front under Katelyn Mallyon, increased her margin at every call and was throttled down to win by five and a half lengths.
A bountiful day of racing across the country saw four graduates of Inglis sales, and the siblings of seven which will walk through the ring in the coming months, adorn their pedigrees with a multitude of black type.
Trainer Robert Smerdon says that boom filly Fontiton (Turffontein-Personal Ensign, by Rubiton) will have to produce her best performance to date when she takes on a high class field of sprinters in Friday night's Gr1Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley.
