WINX FILLY SETS SALES RING ALIGHTThe
first foal of Winx stepped into the sale ring at the Inglis Australian
Easter Yearling Sale and the daughter of Pierro was later led out with a
sale price of $10million lighting up the bid board.The dark
bay took everything in and displayed the sort of professional resolve
that served her mother so well in a career that spanned 37 wins from 43
starts.Now the most expensive thoroughbred sold at auction in
Australia, the filly was consigned by Coolmore as Lot 391 and was led
through the ring by Paddy Sheehan, who runs the foaling unit at Coolmore
Australia.Foaled and raised at Coolmore for her owners, the
filly sparked worldwide interest and while the original intention of the
ownership group was to sell to an outside party, one of those owners
Debbie Kepitis, decided she and her family could not part with the first
born foal of their much loved champion.Winx is currently in foal to Snitzel.
