Epaulette's outstanding string of Stakes-winning juveniles from his first crop placed him stride for stride with Snitzel and I Am Invincible by number of Group winners at the same point in their careers.
From his second crop, two-year-old fillies Epaumada and She Shao Fly won impressively on debut for trainers Tony Gollan and Tony McEvoy.
With credentials as a stallion to accompany those he established as a multiple G1-winning sprinter in Australia, Epaulette has another excellent draft of yearlings at the 2019 Inglis Classic Sale which begins in Sydney on Saturday, 9 February.
One trainer impressed with the Epaulette offering is Sydney handler Lee Curtis whose first-cop Epaulette filly Meryl is a two-time G3 winner.
“If I could find another one like her I’d be very happy,” Curtis said.
“I’ve had a look at several Epaulette yearlings who I’d be very happy to take home.”
One is Lot 97, a colt from the More Than Ready mare More Glory and an entry in the Classic Sale’s Gold Riband section.
More Glory is a half-sister to Miss Minden, the dam of Stakes winner Miss Danehill from the family of prolific broodmare Joie Denise and the good racehorses Tuesday Joy and Sunday Joy.
