"It is amazing to be given the opportunity to train so many of the best bred horses in the country so I can only thank Steve for that," says Telfer.
But while many would think that comes with enormous pressure, Telfer says Stockman isn't that sort of owner.
"He is unbelievable to deal with and while he loves the horses and comes down the stables to see them he never insists we aim certain horses at certain races.
"So there isn't that sort of pressure, more the pressure to do the job these horses deserve."
The sales buy-up, while much larger this year, is not new for Stonewall which is mainly why they have five beautifully-bred fillies in tonight's first juvenile filly race of the season at Alexandra Park.
Ironically the best of them may be Forever Me, a daughter of champion Adore Me, who didn't go through the sales ring and was retained by her breeders to race with partners.
"We have a lovely bunch of fillies but I think she is the best of them right now," says Telfer of Forever Me.
"She has always had that touch of class but last week at the workouts two of our others [Kahlua Flybye and Aardiebytheseaside] beat her home, which surprised us.
"I think she was a bit flat with the heat and humidity we had last week but she has really bounced back this week so she is our one to beat."
Telfer warns punters Forever Me may not be the leader in the race, with Aardiebytheseaside and the Barry Purdon/Scott Phelan trained Art D'Or expected to have too much early speed.
If that is the case, it could also play against Kahlua Flybye, drawn one on the second line.
The first fillies race of the season adds a freshness to tonight's meeting that also sees a good mid-grade trot in which Aardiebythehill looks the one to beat while Taipo finds himself in the right race in the main pacing free-for-all.
