High-class mares to be offered on Inglis Digital
Listed winners Another Award (Shamus Award) and She’s All Class (I Am Invincible) will be offered as part of the upcoming Inglis Digital July (Early) Sale.
The two high-profile race fillies are listed for the auction on the back of a record-breaking June (Late) Sale, in which Group 2 winner Daisies (Sebring) made $920,000 when purchased by Yulong, in a sale that grossed more than $8 million.
Trained by Leon Macdonald and Andrew Gluyas, Another Award is the winner of seven races from 33 starts, including the Matrice Stakes (Listed, 1200m) at Morphettville in March this year, while she is also Group 1 placed at her last two starts, finishing second in both The Goodwood (Gr 1, 1200m) and the Robert Sangster Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m).
The five-year-old daughter of Rosemont stallion Shamus Award (Snitzel), who was a $150,000 buy for her trainers, will be offered by Willow Grove’s Ralph Satchell.
“She’s in pristine condition, she came back into the stable [on Wednesday] morning. She’s a lovely, sound mare who’s in great form so she’s a genuine dual purpose purchase for somebody because I have no doubt she’ll produce magnificent foals as well in time,’’ Satchell said.
“We just thought the time was right to offer her for sale. She’s in career-best form, we’re on the cusp of the breeding season and while I would love to buy her myself, she’s too valuable now and as the other owners aren’t breeders, the best and easiest thing to do was to put her up for sale on Inglis Digital.”
A precocious juvenile, She’s All Class is the winner of the Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic (RL, 1100m), while she finished runner-up in the Sweet Embrace Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) and third in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) during her two-year-old year.
The four-year-old added to her win tally in March this year when claiming the Abell Stakes (Listed, 1200m) at Moonee Valley.
She’s All Class, who is Danehill (Danzig) free, will be offered by Yarraman Park Stud on behalf of the ownership group, headlined by Yes Bloodstock’s Brae Sokolski.
“She really is what the Australian breeding landscape craves – she’s as good a type as you will see, she’s by a champion sire in I Am Invincible, she has speed and precocity and a stunning turn of foot and she’s proven herself at stakes level time and again,” Yarraman Park’s Matt Scown said.
