Belieber has star billing in December Online Sale

11th Dec 2020

A horse that Gai Waterhouse considers “one of the most talented 3YOs racing in Sydney”, 3YO Belieber (Zoustar), heads an impressive line-up in the Inglis Digital December Online Auction, which is now open for bidding.

The progressive gelding is lightly raced having had just four career starts, including a tough 4th on debut as a 2YO in the G3 Breeders’ Plate, despite racing wide and without cover, plus an impressive all-the-way victory at Wyong last month over 1100m, where he clocked 33.18 for the last 600m.

His last start effort on December 4 saw him carry top weight when finishing 0.2L second to talented Godolphin 3YO Tiny over 1100m on the Kensington track in a field made up exclusively of winners.

Belieber, who is qualified for Hong Kong under a PP Permit, has been fully vetted in accordance with HKJC guidelines with information accessible through the Inglis repository.

“He is a natural speed horse and being a gelding makes him an attractive racing prospect ” added Waterhouse of the gelding who is fully paid-up for the Magic Millions Race Series and is offered in the December catalogue by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing.

The November (Late) Online Auction also set a new top lot record, with Sneaky Five’s dam Small Minds selling for $410,000 to Sandhurst Bloodstock on behalf of Rosemont Stud.

Graduates of Inglis Digital are regularly rewarding their buyers on the racetrack, as recently as last Wednesday with 3YO gelding Dance (Not a Single Doubt) winning first up at Warwick Farm.

Dance was purchased for $135,000 in the June (Late) Online Auction by A Value Consulting, having been offered as a 2YO colt by Newgate.

In Macau on Saturday, $4000 graduate We Love Macau (Fast ‘n’ Famous) scored his third win from nine starts in dominant fashion for trainer Joe Lau and owners Johnny and Derek Lui.

The 4YO gelding was bought as an unnamed 2YO in the 2019 May Online Auction from Cavanough Racing and has now netted HKD$400,000.
