MILBURN CREEK 2019 vendor
John Muir’s Milburn Creek, situated in magnificent horse country at Wildes Meadow in NSW Southern Highlands has become a byword for quality. Its spacious undulating paddocks and lush pastures are home to one of the finest broodmare bands in the country as attested by the long line of elite performers that have been bred by Milburn Creek. Under the astute management of renowned horseman Scott Holcombe, the farm is not prepared to rest on its laurels, striving each year to present the best possible offerings among boutique vendors at Australia’s major sales. Milburn Creek’s 2019 Magic Millions draft of 10 yearlings reflects this approach, the 6 colts and 4 fillies are by Australia’s leading commercial sires from a mouth watering lineup of broodmares that epitomize the strength of Milburn Creek’s broodmare band.
