A pair of quality yearlings were added to Proven Thoroughbreds’ 2021 portfolio from the Inglis Premier Sale in Melbourne.
We wasted no time with our first purchase, picking up the very first lot of the sale – a filly with plenty of substance by VANCOUVER from EARTH SKY. She’s bred on the potent VANCOUVER x PINS cross which, from only two runners, has produced a stakes winner in NIGHT RAIDER and last Saturday’s Group 1 Surround Stakes runner-up VANGELIC!
Then on the second day, we struck with lot 434 – a dynamite looking colt by ALL TOO HARD from the city-winning O’REILLY mare WELL CREDENTIALLED. ALL TOO HARD is in the midst of a stellar season at stud with 118 Southern Hemisphere winners, placing him behind only I AM INVINCIBLE, WRITTEN TYCOON & SNITZEL.
See below for photos, videos, pedigrees and trainer quotes on our two purchases from Inglis Premier 2021.
NB: Prices include GST, vetting, insurance, transport from the sales complex, and the usual regulatory items. Confirmed prices will be announced in the next few days.

Steven O’Dea & Matt Hoysted
“We’ve currently got three Vancouver 2YOs in the stable and all of them are showing promise hence why we were keen to get another one this year. I think his progeny are really going to excel as 3YOs and this filly gives the impression she will get over a bit of ground too.” – Steve O’Dea.
Lot 434 – ALL TOO HARD x WELL CREDENTIALLED (O’REILLY) colt
Estimated price: $3,250 (2.5%)

“What really stood out for me with this horse was his physical presence. He’s extremely strong and masculine, and has this beautiful calm attitude to go with it.” – Joe Pride.
