Winx foal sells for record price

A filly out of super mare Winx and sired by Pierro has sold at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale for a record breaking $A10million.

With the bidding beginning at $A2million the 18-month-old drew international interest but was sold to Winx’s former part-owner Debbie Kepitis and Woppitt Bloodstock.

The sale marks a new record for a thoroughbred yearling, doubling the $A5million paid for Black Caviar’s half-brother in 2013.

Winx won more than $26 million in prizemoney, setting an Australasian record win streak of 33 races, including 25 Group 1 victories and four Cox Plates.
