A Star is born as Winx’s offspring steals the auction spotlight

The 2024 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale is set for April 7-8, 2024, at Inglis’ Riverside Stables in Sydney. This sale coincides with a week-long celebration of Australian racing, including Days 1 and 2 of The Championships at Royal Randwick. The catalog details will be confirmed next year, but one thing’s certain: Winx’s daughter, Filly, born on October 7, 2022, will be a highlight.

This filly, the first offspring of Winx, inherits not only her remarkable pedigree but also the weight of expectation that comes with being part of a racing dynasty. Her sire, Pierro, himself a champion racehorse, adds another layer of excellence to her lineage. The combination of two racing titans in her parentage makes her a symbol of hope and promise for the future of the sport.

Hutch said, “It is hard not to imagine any major investor in bloodstock around the world who isn’t going to see the merits of this filly.” She’s raised at Coolmore Stud, where Winx was born. Peter Tighe, part of Winx’s ownership group, said, “Winx has given us all unexplainable joy.” With anticipation building and history in the making, the spotlight is firmly fixed on the future of this exceptional bloodline.

From legendary equestrian bloodlines

The legacy of a champion is not solely defined by their own achievements but also by the promise that their bloodline carries forward. In the case of Winx, her legacy is nothing short of legendary. As one of the most accomplished racehorses in the history of Thoroughbred racing, her genetic lineage is a source of intrigue and admiration.
