It seems the world is changing before our very eyes, but in the face of current uncertainty one thing has not changed and that is the quality of horseflesh that Cressfield is so well reputed for producing year on year. Horses such as Personal, Cellsabeel, Trope, Headwater, Satin Shoes and Onemorenomore have all been sourced from a Cressfield Easter draft.
2020 sees five select fillies being presented for sale. Cressfield is confident that these fillies represent the soundness, pedigrees and type that buyers have come to expect from an elite sale such as the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.
To facilitate familiarisation with the yearlings please find two individual assessments of the yearlings from Liesl Baumann – Cressfield Operations Manager and Kim Rieck – Cressfield Yearling Manager.
Lot 30 - More Than Ready (USA) x Lilliburlero (filly )
Height - 15.3hh Weight – 532kg
Liesl – "A filly with an excellent constitution, big and strong like her dam but phenotypically shaped like her sire. A likeable filly who has blossomed throughout the preparation."
Kim – "Robust and mature, a very laid- back filly with good bone, deep girth and a good shoulder."
Lot 75 - Fastnet Rock x Miss Judgement (filly)
Height - 15.3hh Weight - 504kg
Liesl – "Scope! Broad hindquarter enhanced by a great hip length, a lovely sloping shoulder. Really pushes off her hinds when she walks. A mirror image of her full sister, Group 1-placed Missrock."
Kim – "An exceptional filly. Well-proportioned, strong shoulder and good hip."
Lot 169 - Frankel (GB) x Rosental (GB) (filly )
Height - 15.2hh Weight – 483kg
Liesl – "A well-marked, well-balanced filly. She has the characteristic Frankel fluidity when she walks. A European pedigree on first glance but, a strong quality Australian thread that runs deeper."
Kim – "A lovely walking filly with a huge overstep, forward moving and works well. Very even-tempered."
Lot 285 - I Am Invincible x Wild Rain (filly )
Height - 15hh Weight - 460kg
Liesl – "The first foal out of a Group 2-winning mare, she is compact, sharp and sprinty."
Kim – "Sprightly, compact filly, feminine head, strong hindquarter. Looks an early type."
Lot 332 - Snitzel x Artistry (filly)
Height - 15.1hh Weight – 488kg
Liesl – "A striking filly. A lovely neck set upon a strong shoulder. Good forward moving filly."
Kim – "A huge shoulder, lovely head. She walks with purpose, is willing to please and is a pleasure to work with."
