A pair of black type victories by Apache Cat at Caulfield in the past month have focused the spotlight on his yearling half sister who will go under the hammer at next week’s Inglis Premier Sale in Melbourne
The Super VOBIS qualified filly offered by Lynden Park Stud is a half sister to four other winners, but Apache Cat is clearly the star.

She is also the first foal from the mare Tennessee Blaze to be sold at public auction.
The filly is a daughter of Lynden Park's Danzig stallion Golden Snake, a four-time Group One winner who has made an encouraging start to his stud career in both hemispheres siring the Austrian Group One winner Cuba Candy and the local black type performer Antidotes from his first crops.
The Premier Sale also features a wide selection of yearlings by sire-of-the-moment Flying Spur.
The Arrowfield-based stallion has 16 yearlings on offer including a colt from the Sadler’s Wells mare Bineyah who is from the family of Seattle Dancer, Seattle Slew and the English classic winner Lomond.
Flying Spur also has a colt on offer out of Spring Beauty whose dam Beach Gown produced Rose Of Danehill; a filly from the family of New Zealand Horse of the Year Xcellent and a colt from Love A Party who is a three-quarter sister to Let’s Elope.
The wins of Sleek Chassis in the Blue Diamond and Shaft in the Silver Slipper last weekend propelled Flying Spur to the head of the Australian Two-Year-Old Sires’ Table.
Flying Spur is also a close second to his close relation Encosta de Lago on the Leading Sires’ Table.
