Bidding for the first foal of champion racehorse Winx began at $2 million at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale on Monday, with the filly going on to fetch $10 million. It was the highest price paid ever for a filly anywhere in the world, as well as the most expensive yearling in the southern hemisphere. Sired by champion stallion Pierro, she was bought by Woppitt Bloodstock, the family racing business of Winx part-owner Debbie Kepitis. Kepitis said the filly, who has been nicknamed ‘Winny", would be prepared by Winx’s trainer Chris Waller if she raced.
