Tasmanian breeder Mandy Gunn of Motree Thoroughbreds will take two quality yearlings to Melbourne for the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, continuing her farm’s growing presence on the national stage.

Gunn has earned a strong reputation for producing tough, athletic horses from her North‑East Tasmanian base. Her 2026 Premier draft showcases both pedigree depth and commercial appeal:

🔹 Lot 80 — Rubick colt out of Glass Warrior

A powerful colt by Rubick, he is the first foal from Glass Warrior, winner of the G3 Launceston Cup and one of Tasmania’s most admired staying mares. With Rubick’s speed and Glass Warrior’s proven stamina, this colt offers a compelling dual‑purpose profile.

🔹 Lot 222 — Brave Smash filly out of My Miss Pedrille (Lonhro)

By the popular Brave Smash, this filly is out of My Miss Pedrille, a Lonhro mare from the famed Pedrille family — a line synonymous with black‑type consistency. She brings Japanese speed, Australian toughness, and a deep, reliable female family.

Momentum from a Strong Magic Millions Tasmanian Sale

The Premier draft follows a successful week at the Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale, where Motree Thoroughbreds achieved strong results.

• Lot 34, a filly by Hanseatic, sold for $90,000 to leading Tasmanian trainer Adam Trinder.
• Lot 37, a colt by Diatonic (Jpn), was purchased by respected Victorian trainer Greg Eurell for $70,000.

These outcomes highlight the increasing demand for Motree‑raised horses among both local, mainland and international buyers.

A Boutique Breeder Making Her Mark

While Gunn traditionally focuses on the Tasmanian sale, her continued presence at Inglis Premier reflects the rising quality and commercial strength of her stock. With two well‑credentialed yearlings heading to Melbourne, Motree Thoroughbreds is well placed to further elevate its national profile.
