Lime Country co-owners, Jo and Greg Griffin’s have announced that they will be acting as an agent on behalf of Champion New Zealand breeder Trelawney Stud and Regal Farm, at the Inglis 2020 Ready 2 Race Sale with eight top quality colts.
They will be venturing into new territory as first-time vendors. “We had discussions with Champion New Zealand breeder Trelawney Stud and with proven Ready 2 Run specialist Regal Farm, as to how we might be able to help and as a result of this, Greg and I are now throwing our hat into the Ready 2 Race ring for the first time.” Said Jo For Trelawney Stud’s Brent Taylor there were a few important considerations for targeting this sale.
The strong appeal for us of this sale is the international buying bench and the fact that it is going to be a live sale," he said.
“All four of our colts are being offered at the sale for the first time. Ocean Park x Lagonissi colt was always destined for a Ready to Race Sale, the Savabeel x Dubonnet colt had a maturity issue that prevented him from going to Karaka and our other two colts by Lonhro ex Okahu Bay and Savabeel X Lady Sayyida are among the cream of our crop,” said Taylor.
For Shane Crawford and Kara Waters of Regal Farm, the Sale represents another successful chapter in the Cambridge breaking, pre-training, and training operation’s development.
“Our motivation for sending our four colts to this sale is that we are trying to diversify. The colts that we are sending over were bought in Melbourne and Sydney specifically for this sale,” explained Crawford.
