NEWS: Brazen Beau lays claim to the hottest young stallion in Australia at Inglis Easter

The son of I Am Invincible perfectly positioned to continue momentum

Brazen Beau looks set to continue his claim to the title of Australia's hottest young stallion at the Inglis Easter Sale starting on Tuesday, 9 April with five cracking lots on offer.

Colts by Brazen Beau have topped both the Inglis Classic and Inglis Premier Sales so far in 2019 and his 2019 yearling sale average sits at $229,305, a greater average than Written Tycoon and Pierro and almost six times his 2018 service fee.

Brazen Beau, whose first-crop two-year-olds include the classy Stakes-winning colt Accession, Stakes filly First Dawn and long-time Golden Slipper favourite Tassort, has proved his national commercial appeal in 2019.

At the recent Inglis Premier Yearling Sale in Melbourne, he had 17 yearlings selling for an average of $285,294, which placed him second on the leading sires by average in Book 1 to his sire I Am Invincible. He claimed the sale-topping yearling, three of the top five and five of 10 highest-priced lots at the Sale in Melbourne.

The first of his yearlings on offer is Lot 73, the second foal out of the G3 Spring Stakes-winning Exceed And Excel mare Just Discreet. She is a sister to the Stakes placed Always Discreet, a three-quarter-sister to the Listed-winning, G1 placed Very Discreet and a half-sister to the G1 Schweppes Oaks winner Maybe Discreet.

This colt is the second foal of his dam, with the first being the two-year-old Sepoy filly Seemingly Discreet, who has had just two starts running a solid third at her last start.

The Brazen Beau and Exceed And Excel pedigree cross has been represented by just the one runner – the G2 Silver Slipper runner-up and highly fancied colt Tassort.

Holbrook Thoroughbreds in the Hunter Valley is back at the Inglis Easter Sale for the first time in four years and bring a strong team of three Brazen Beau yearlings to lead their draft.

The first is Lot 136, a Brazen Beau colt out of the Stakes-placed mare Montelimar. Montelimar is a half-sister to Listed winner Superfly and is out of a Stakes winner in Allez France.

Lot 188 is out of Prayer and is the half-sister to two winners. Prayer herself is the half-sister to G2 winner Hosannah, who produced a G2 winner in Altar.

Rounding out the trio is Lot 322, a cracking filly out of Uncommon who is the sister to the Group-winning two-year-old and stallion son of Exceed And Excel in Exceedingly Good.
