Penfold Thoroughbreds

Penfold Thoroughbreds Boutique sales consignor who focuses on quality over quantity. Based in Avenel, Victoria I endeavour to continue on with the success I have had in 2025.

Penfold Thoroughbreds is new on the scene of sales preparation and consigning. We started with a bang in 2025 at the Inglis Melbourne Premier sale, finishing on 100% of 10 horses offered, sold. The draft topper being the Mehmas x Salmah c**t whom realised $420,000 to Dom Sutton Racing in Book 1 and in Book 2, the Wooded x Calaway Cruiser c**t sold to the tune of $160,000 to Kendall Bloodstock. At

the Magic Millions Adelaide we offered only 3 beautiful, athletic types, by sought after sires and we were delighted to sell all 3 with ease. It has always been a dream of mine to prepare and sell horses at auction under my own banner, due to lack of funds and very little self confidence, I never truly saw this being a reality.... I still don't have a lot of money- living off bread and water isn't always so bad!- but I have gained a bit of confidence and this dream is finally coming to fruition, with the support of some of the best people to have in my corner within our wonderful industry. A bit about me- most will know my face from being on the end of a lead at the majority of international and Australia wide thoroughbred sales. I have 20 years experience within the thoroughbred industry, having worn the various uniforms of many studs and consignors in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, a few of those being The National Stud, Cheveley Park Stud, Eliza Park International, Kitchwin Hills, Aquis Farms, Twin Hills and Swettenham Stud. I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge from working for so many companies, learning what works and what doesn't work when it comes to preparing these finely tuned athletes for the auction ring and setting them up for their future racing careers. I have been fortunate to work with some amazing bloodstock over these years and and I plan to move forward consigning a similar calibre of horses in the future. You can be assured that your horse will be treated like royalty when in my care. I do my absolute best by each animal, each having their own personalised feed regime and exercise plan. I am also big on regular communications and was praised by this years clients for doing that. Feel free to reach out to me if you think you will have a yearling that will suit my consignment at the Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale 2026. I will be keeping my numbers limited to an absolute maximum of 12 yearlings to ensure I can do the job properly and not turn it into a 'factory' business. Spots will be filling fast so do not hesitate to contact me.

✨Expressions Of Interest for Weanlings✨

Yearling season hasn’t kicked off yet but I am already planning my next step thereafter Melbourne Premier 2026.

Last year I had a lot of people contact me asking if I could take weanlings for prep and consignment but at that time, I was not in a position to do so.

This coming year, things will be quite different and providing I can find the numbers and quality, I would be open to doing a weanling draft at the Inglis Great Southern Sale.

If you think you may have a weanling that you’re aiming for GSS and are wondering who to put it with, feel free to get in touch… I always have my phone nearby and if I don’t answer straight away, I will always get back to you 📱🏇

It’s certainly an exciting time to watch your kids go on and do great things, even selling as a R2R pinhook 7 months after you’ve sold them, for more than double of what they made as a yearling. 🤑

Calvin was an incredibly special foal to me, I selected him not only on type and pedigree, but sentimental value to my first draft and my gosh he’s paying for himself!

As with all of the yearlings I sold, I will be tracking him closely- I have a good feeling about this one… knowing how much of a ‘fighter’ he is! 💪🏾

What do you think I have ordered as ‘fun yet practical’ giveaways for the Melbourne Premier sale next year??

Those who answer correctly below, will be put in a draw to be drawn on Sunday 19 October and I will send you one of these items in a colour of your choice once they arrive, plus a Penfold Thoroughbreds cap 🧢

Those of you ‘in the know’ are exempt from entering… 🤫 you will get both anyway 😁🐎

✨Melbourne Premier 2026✨

The foaling season has only just begun, but whilst I am busy looking after mares and foals right now, I am still very much preparing for my next step in yearling preparation and consigning.

I will be based out of a new location, near Nagambie, Victoria, which comprises of all the facilities I need to ensure a high level of preparation for my second year as a consignor, no stone will be left unturned and I will endeavour to do the absolute best for both horse and client.

I still plan to only have a boutique number of yearlings, so I am able to focus individually on each horses needs and requirements.

❗️Penfold Thoroughbreds will be only representing at the Inglis Melbourne Premier sale in 2026.❗️

There are only a couple of spots available, so if you think you have a horse that will suit my draft, feel free to reach out to me and I will happily talk with you.

2025 was an enormous kick off year for Penfold Thoroughbreds with 100% of horses sold to good people and the reports I am receiving from their new owners have been phenomenal!! 🤩

What a week!!

Lots of fluffy babies to look at, lots of people to talk to, lots of advice to receive, lots of decisions to make and I walked away a happy woman!

This is my first time pinhooking and bidding, I’ve never been brave enough to do it in the past and I am so grateful to those who have given me the guidance, advice and confidence to do it and to those who have trusted my judgement.

Inglis compiled a fantastic catalogue to suit all price ranges, there were a few I saw that I just knew I couldn’t afford, but I am so delighted to have got these two c**ts… they’re quite different types but they were both on my mind after seeing them for the first time and never left my shortlist.

What a beautiful surprise in the mail this morning!!!
At first, I thought Kai Gregory drew this himself…. Absolutely blown away by such a thoughtful gift, a portrait of the Mehmas x Salmah c**t (Bugsy) and myself after he sold at Inglis Premier…

Kai, I know you don’t like attention but you are such an amazing, generous and kind horseman that deserves to be recognised!! I’ll be treasuring this drawing for life!!

Thank you!!!

1 month since the best day of my life so far…. I’m still pinching myself ✨🐎

So yearling sales for Penfold Thoroughbreds are now finished for 2025.

With 13 horses total finding new, good homes, to be given the best chances, it means 100% clearance and that was one of my only goals. In such a tough market, I am so proud of the team and the horses.

13 was a small number compared to some, but I never wanted many more. I want to be able to focus on each horses individual care and needs and it’s certainly paid off.

I have been overwhelmed by the messages, calls and conversations of support by so many people globally and I cannot wait to do it all again next year.

For now, breath, process and plan.

Thank you all once again for making/helping/supporting my dream come true.

The final horse to go through the ring for Penfold Thoroughbreds in 2025 was lot 396, a gorgeous Tassort filly and has sold for $55,000 to Proven Thoroughbreds and Hayfields Racing.

This means 100% clearance across both sales and I couldn’t be happier!!

Thank you to all clients, buyers and everyone else who has supported me on this extremely successful start to my new career!
