Turangga Dispersal Sale

INGLIS has announced they will be holding a dispersal sale for local thoroughbred stud Turangga Farm in July at Scone’s White Park.

Owner Stuart Ramsey is scaling back operations, with his son John to establish his own property and will continue to build a breaking in, training and breeding operation.

The unreserved sale will consist of 52 mares, 28 weanlings and three race fillies which will draw many local buyers and the online auction is expected to draw a wider buying group.

Stuart Ramsey said with the industry in such a strong positionit was the ideal time for his son John and his daughter-in-law Erin to establish their new business.

“There is no greater thrill than the success of breeding and racing thoroughbreds, which I have done for over 30 years and I am sure these horses will give their new owners terrific rewards,” Stuart Ramsey said.

“I will retain a few fillies I currently have in work and will breed the empty mares this season with a view to selling them in foal next year, so you are certainly not getting rid of me from the industry just yet,” Mr Ramsey said.

The weanling draft includes Lots by proven sires Sebring, Hinchinbrook, Testa Rossa, Manhattan Rain and Lonhro as well as young sires such as All Too Hard, Your Song, Hallowed Crown, Rubick and Toronado.

Among the weanlings there are siblings to top class performers such as Fighting Sun, My Emotion, Midnight Minx and I Have No Fear.

The mare dispersal contains 10 Stakes performers including Tenant’s Tiara, Torah, Niagara Falls and Group One winner Irish Darling; siblings to Written Tycoon, Rocha, Rena’s Lady and Crowned Glory; and the dams of Headway, Kanga’s Eye, Believe Yourself, Fighting Sun and Violate.

The broodmares have been served by many of Australia’s leading sires including Sebring, Pierro, Foxwedge, Reset, Artie Schiller, Testa Rossa and More Than Ready as well as up and coming young stallions including All Too Hard, Zoustar,  Pierro, Nicconi, Dundeel, Real Impact, Exosphere, Hallowed Crown and Vancouver.
