It was announced on Sunday evening that champion racehorse Winx's colt by four-time champion sire Snitzel will be offered as part of Coolmore Stud's draft at the 2026 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

The second foal of 25-time Group 1 winner Winx, the colt will walk through the same ring as his older sister Quinceañera (Pierro), who made A$10 million when selling at last year's Easter sale to part-owner Debbie Kepitis.

“He's a very handsome boy,” Kepitis said. “Just wait until you see him, he's got everything going for him. From the day he was born, he's been a very charismatic horse. He has been bred to win a Cox Plate and anyone who looks at him tells me that he has all the right physical characteristics to be an elite racehorse.”

Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch added, “To have the first male offspring of the mighty Winx coming to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale is an absolute thrill and something we're hugely grateful to the ownership group for. I have been lucky enough to see this colt a number of times through his development. He has always looked like a good horse and I think he is going to present as a very good yearling at the sale.

“First and foremost, the objective of the ownership group has been to try and breed the best racehorse possible out of the mare, and I think this colt gives them genuine cause to be very excited. He is a handsome colt with great movement and an unflappable temperament. He's a special sort of horse.”
