Some yearlings will get lost in the crowd - Part one

Over the last few weeks we have looked at a multitude of yearlings who are being offered at this years yearlings sales, especially those at the Australasian Classic Yearling Sale at Karaka.

One of the things that has become clear to us as we have done this is the huge depth to the catalogue this year.

Of the 151 yearlings catalogued at Karaka, 101 are by either Bettor's Delight, Art Major, Mach Three, Rocknroll Hanover or American Ideal.

So this year the buying bench is spoilt for choice with progeny by our leading sires and in our view it is inevitable that some yearlings will fail to make their true value due to the high numbers of quality yearlings available.

We have had a long study of the Australasian Classic Sale and have come up with three yearlings which we think are potentially the kind of horses that could slip through the net on sale day.

Over the next three days we will highlight one each day in an effort to show you how competitive this years sale will be in our opinion because each of the yearlings we are highlighting has plenty to offer.

Lot 37  –  Super Groove 

This son of Rocknroll Hanover is the first foal of the very smart Christian Cullen mare Holly Madison 1:57.7 ($41,131) who won five races at two and three.

Holly Madison is a half sister to seven winners including the brilliant juvenile Jays Debut 1:53.2 ($305,807), J Walker 1:58.2 ($176,441), Rubens Barrichello 1:51.6 ($142,041) and Got It Seeled 1:53.6 ($110,322) so plenty of high class winners close up in the pedigree.

Outstanding racehorses such as Sovereign Hill 1:55.5 ($432,555) and Dartmoor 1:55.8 ($427,361) are on the pedigree page which has a lot of depth to it.

The first three dams of Super Groove all won five races on the track in New Zealand which explains the smart record they all have as broodmares.

The individual himself is a typical Rocknroll Hanover type and looked to well put together on the video.

We thought he ticked all the boxes but was potentially one of those colts that could slip through the net on sales day.

Time will tell.
