Widden Stud Classic Success

A record breaking Inglis Classic Yearling Sale this week in Sydney delivered more great results for Widden Stud with 42 yearlings selling for $4,560,500.

Star Witness gave us our best result with the Widden Stud bred colt from winning Snitzel mare Bukzel fetching $320,000 when secured by George Moore Bloodstock.
