A Group 2 victory in Caulfield’s Autumn Classic for Parure – see above item – was one of three Inglis Premier Yearling Sale stakes winners on Saturday following wins by Written Tycoon’s Rich Hips (G3 Mannerism Stakes at Caulfield) and Pierro’s Sacramento (Listed Parramatta Cup at Rosehill). Rich Hips – a $130,000 purchase for trainers Busuttin Racing, owners First Light Racing and leading bloodstock agent Paul Willetts, from the Woodside Park Stud draft – was resuming from a spell but proved too strong to secure herself a second consecutive black type success. She will now likely be given her chance at Group 1 level in the Coolmore Classic at Rosehill on March 13. Woodside Park, which has enjoyed strong sales success since the beginning of the year, has a 14-strong draft at next weekend’s Premier Yearling Sale, for which inspections begin at Oaklands today.
