“Ole Kirk – one of the best-bred horses in the world.” – Sebastian Hutch, Inglis General Manager of Bloodstock Sales.
Exceptional first crop yearlings sold to $1,000,000 in 2024.
“I would say Ole Kirk, from a first-season sire point, would be up there with the best of the first-season stallions’ yearlings I’ve seen. They’ve got great quality to them, beautiful heads, good actions, and a bit of scope to them as well. To me they just look like horses that will be sharp, early horses but have a bit of 3yo ability as well.” – Mick Malone, North
Sire of the top priced yearling by a first season sire at Inglis Premier 2024 – $400,000 Kibibi colt.
Averaged 159 mares in his first three seasons at stud.
Dual Group 1 winner of the Group 1 ATC Golden Rose and Group 1 MRC Caulfield Guineas.

Earnings of over $2.15million and defeated Group 1 winners Tagaloa, King’s Legacy, Mo’unga, Lunar Fox, and Rothfire as well as Group 2 winners Mamaragan, Grandslam, Peltzer, and Poland across his three Stakes wins.
“OLE KIRK must be THE hottest stallion prospect in Australia. Stakes winner on debut at 2, dual Group 1 winner at 3, Danehill free, stallion’s pedigree – All Too Hard & Magnus, by Written Tycoon, a throwback to Black Caviar in there – he ticks all the boxes!” – Damon Gabbedy, Belmont Bloodstock.
Purchased for $675,000 as a sensational-looking yearling at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
