Cootamundra based Twin Hills Stud, under the care of Olly and Amber Tait, is proving to be a fruitful source of winners and stakes horses, a fact well highlighted in the past week and their Inglis Premier draft features the only filly by Fastnet Rock and the only yearling by Justify (USA) from a daughter of Fastnet Rock – the magic cross!

Wings of Song winning the Listed Tasmanian Oaks

Group II ATC Silver Slipper Stakes winner Straight Charge was sold by Twin Hills Stud as a weanling and proved a successful pinhook that is now a Golden Slipper contender, while Listed Tasmanian Oaks winner Wings of Song, was foaled and raised at the farm for her breeders Sandy Tait and Jill Nivison.

Their success follows on from Group III winning mare Vagrant and stakes-winning filly Azula, who were both purchased from Twin Hills drafts as yearlings and have won nearly $500,000 in combined earnings.
