Grant Pritchard-Gordon, a regular purchaser at Southern Hemisphere sales over the years, celebrates two extraordinary racing wins by recent graduates of his Badgers Bloodstock.
Gr.1 VRC Oaks winner Personal (3f Fastnet Rock x Personify) was bred and sold by Cressfield, but her mother caught the eye of Badger’s Bloodstock a long time before that.
At that same 2008 Inglis breeding stock sale, Badger’s Bloodstock purchased Be Inspired for a very enthusiastic Victorian breeder Jen Fowler for A$150,000.
The Zabeel mare is now the dam of Group I WATC Railway Stakes winner Inspirational Girl (5m Reliable Man x Be Inspired), who has won nine of 11 starts and nearly A$900,000 in prizemoney.
Also, The Melbourne Cup victory of the Joseph O’Brien trained stayer Twilight Payment (IRE) racing in the colors of legendary Australian owner Lloyd Williams was also causing for celebration at Badger’s Bloodstock.
