American thoroughbred tycoon John Stewart has made clear his determination to acquire Winx’s first foal, stating he’s prepared to offer over $9 million at the Inglis Easter auction on Monday.
Stewart, of Resolute Thoroughbreds, emphasised his confidence in securing the prized Pierro filly, expressing readiness to outbid any competition.
Despite the international spotlight on the yearling, Stewart remains resolute in his pursuit, citing the filly’s exceptional pedigree and personal inspections as factors bolstering his commitment.
Stewart envisions keeping the filly in Australia for racing, acknowledging her significance to the Australian people.
However, he doesn’t dismiss the possibility of global ventures depending on her performance.
Stewart is willing to surpass Resolute Thoroughbreds’ current purchase record of AUD $9.1 million, reflecting his unwavering pursuit of the highly coveted filly.
With a vested interest in Australian racing, Stewart’s pursuit underscores the filly’s immense allure and potential impact on the sport.
