Lyndhurst Farm has three carefully hand-picked colts set to do them proud at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
The Cambridge operation of Mark and Shelley Treweek shopped to a strict set of rules when they sourced their draft for the January 9 to 15 auction.
“We sat down and had a good think about it and we had to get them by proven stallions and early foals were critical,” Shelley Treweek said.
“The I Am Invincible and Hinchinbrook are both August born and the Pierro was September born.
“They are three lovely colts and we didn’t have any clients to sell yearlings in New Zealand for one reason or another.” – Shelley Treweek.
