Lime Country Thoroughbreds will offer 7 yearlings on behalf of Kia Ora Stud.
7 yearlings will sell at Classic. At the 2020 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, Lime Country Thoroughbreds will offer 22 yearlings, 7 on behalf of Kia Ora Stud.
"Kia Ora has previously sold at Classic under Bhima's banner. The Fleming's were unable to provide that service this season due to the size of their other drafts and Mike only had good reports regarding his dealings with Kia Ora for us," said Lime Country Thoroughbreds Jo Griffin.
"Mr Krishnan has an exceptional broodmare band and we look forward to presenting some standout yearlings for him at the upcoming Classic Sale.
Kia Ora's Bloodstock Manager Andrew Perryman said he is looking forward to working closely with Lime Country Thoroughbreds who will prepare lots 91, 305, 339, 366, 410, 419 and 555 on their behalf.
"We see them as a highly professional outfit and look forward to them selling on our behalf," said Andrew.
Adam Sangster's Swettenham Stud has also entrusted Lime Country Thoroughbreds to sell two yearlings (lots 202 & 399) both by their headline stallion Toronado at the sale.
"With some promising stock coming through the ranks for Swettenham's young sire Toronado, Inglis encouraged Adam Sangster to provide some quality stock to the NSW market," said Jo.
"The colt and filly we are offering on their behalf are excellent, precocious examples of this stallion's stock and we feel they are the right physical types for this particular sale."
Swettenham Stud Sales and Nominations Manager Sam Matthews said; "This is our first time selling through Lime Country Thoroughbreds. We have been watching them closely for a while, and, for a farm that hasn't had huge drafts, their averages have been enormous and that speaks volumes about what Jo and Greg are doing.
"They are incredibly attentive and the quality of their yearlings that we have inspected over the years has been second to none. They do an exceptional job in terms of preparing and getting them sold."
In total, 808 yearlings have been catalogued for the 2020 Inglis Classic Sale in a revised three-day format that will run from Sunday 9 to Tuesday 11 February.
