Sebastian Hutch, CEO of Bloodstock at Inglis, has confirmed significant international interest in the first yearling by the legendary mare Winx.
The Pierro filly, offspring of the 25-time Group 1 winner, is set to be auctioned next month at the iconic Easter Yearling Sale.
Both vendor Coolmore Stud and the auction house have fielded inquiries from abroad, with on-farm inspections conducted for local buyers.
Hutch noted the global interest in acquiring the progeny of one of the greatest racehorses.
While an international purchaser could race her overseas, Hutch expressed excitement at the prospect of her remaining in Australia.
Comparisons between the filly and her mother are inevitable due to their similar physical traits.
Hutch described her as a horse expected to improve with age, aiming for achievements like her mother’s, including winning the Cox Plate.
Tom Magnier of Coolmore Stud anticipates international interest in the filly but believes she will ultimately race in Australia, considering the allure of the Winx family pedigree and the competitive racing scene Down Under.
