After 40 years in the breeding industry Mr. Jim O'Connor has made the decision to retire from the commercial breeding world and disperse his Milluna Stud. The sale will be conducted by William Inglis & Son on the stud at One Tree Hill, South Australia, on May 20, the day after the Adelaide Cup.
O'Connor's serious involvement in the thoroughbred industry commenced in 1965 with the purchase in New Zealand of an Agricola yearling filly, subsequently named Farmer's Daughter. The filly won the AJC and VRC Oaks and the SA Sires' Produce Stakes.
The dispersal of approximately 100 horses will include mares by Royal Academy, Twig Moss, Grosvenor, Kenmare, Fairy King, Marscay, Ahonoora, Raise A Native, Sir Tristram and Highest Honor and weanlings by King's Best, Marju, Saratoga Springs, Singspiel, Jeune and Made Of Gold.
Catalogues will be available mid April.
