MM Sale Part 1 Weanlings
The MM Weanling and Broodmare Sale is about to get underway. In the MM Weanling Sale section there are plenty of lots on offer to meet the need and aspirations of the buyer. The budget can also be met. Weanling sales have the advantage that horses are usually less expensive than those at the yearling sales. The advantage of buying a yearling is that it will look more like the racehorse it will grow up to be. A weanling has more growing to do. It will cost you money while it develops. Having looked at a number of weanling on offer, we have selected two fillies in the MM Weanling Sale that we consider will make successful racehorses.
Lot 78 b f Dubwai – Entisaar
Dubawi was excellent on the track with three wins at G1 level in France and Ireland (7f-1600m). He has 271 SW with a ratio 8.17% SW/R. Gender split is roughly equal. His best female horse was Bonneval (Dubawi – Imposingly, 3xG1, 2xG2, 1xG3).She was the winner of both the NZ and AJC Oaks and the Underwood Stakes. Dubawi’s progeny have won from 1000m to beyond 2500m with nine out his 10 best horses being miler/stayers.
Dubawi rated 18th in World list of international sires
The Mare
Entisaar (More than Ready – Purrpurriena ) was a G1 winner in South Africa. Her female family has a 6GFI of 4.41% which is reasonable. There is plenty of speed in the female line. Pre Catelan (by Lunchtime) was an exceptionally fast 2yo that won both the Breeders Plate (L) and Silver Slipper (G2).Another family member Tangiers, won three G3 races (1200-1400m).
The Cross
The cross Dubawi – More than Ready has already produced a G3 SW. Run Naan won the Maribyrnong Plate (1000m) in 2017. Dosage shows a middle distance performer but with enough speed to be an early runner. The PRI score of 92.5 indicates the filly could be something special.
Lot 242 b f Exceed and Excel – Witches
The Sire
Exceed and Excel is currently 8th on the Australian Sires premiership table and 20th in the International listing .His line has 215 SW with SW/R at 4.25%.His best filly is Guelph (Exceed and Excel – Camarilla, 4xG1,1xG2, 1xG3).His top ten horses can be split equally into sprinters and Miler/Stayers. Certainly a sire of world status.
The Mare
Lohnro: How successful a broodmare sire will he be?
Witches (Lonhro – Ouija) had a very useful racing career with three wins. Her female line has a very high 6GFI value of 10.9% and Witches is right in the thick of things. There are a few interesting SW in her female line Northern Drake (Underwood Stakes G1) is one of them
The Cross.
The cross Exceed and Excel – Lonhro has proved very successful with a ratio SW/R of 7.58% .There are 5 SW produced by this cross;
- La Tene 2 x G2 including VRC Sires Produce Stakes 1400m

The PRI score for this filly is an exceptionally high.97.1 The MM Weanling Sale is the place to find her.
