The opening day of the 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale delivered a standout result for the Triple Crown team, securing a truly exceptional filly by Champion sire Palace Pier (GB) from the Arrowfield Stud draft.
The filly is out of Miravalle — a Group 3 winner and fourth-place finisher in the Group 1 VRC Oaks, and has a magnificent pedigree packed with top performers, including Yankee Rose, Isotope and Japanese superstar Liberty Island, making her a particularly exciting prospect with both racing and residual value prospects in mind.
“She’s a stunning filly. She’s a well balanced individual with good strength and she is a lovely mover. When you combine her physical type with her mouth-watering pedigree, you have a very exciting prospect. Palace Pier is a freshman sire but he was a 5-time Group 1 winner by the great Kingman, so he has all the credentials to make a very successful stallion too. We bought this filly for a small group of four guys who asked us to assist them. They are great guys and win, lose or draw, they should be a lot of fun to go racing with.” Chris Ward
