Top-class sprinter and fundraiser highlight Digital catalogue

9th Sep 2022

A brilliantly fast G3-winning mare, from a family synonymous with elite Australian speed, headlines another stellar Inglis Digital catalogue of 376 lots in the September (Early) Online Sale.

Vulpine (Snitzel) is a multiple Stakes winner up to 1200m including the G3 Wenona Girl, where she defeated Fiesta, Positive Peace, Emanate and Jen Rules, clocking 1.08.10 at Randwick.

Vulpine is from a family that consistently produces top-class speed horses, being out of a half sister to Star Witness, Nostradamus, Embracer and Lady Lupino.

As a granddaughter of Leone Chiara, Vulpine’s pedigree also includes Chinchilla Rose, Pohutakawa, Chiaramonte and Ferocity.

Vulpine is joined in the catalogue by a pair of G3-winning race fillies in Monegal (Lope de Vega) and Felicia (Unencumbered), with the latter holding a nomination to the fully-booked star stallion Toronado.

Another highlight is a 5% share in G1 Epsom winner Private Eye (Al Maher), who finished 2nd in the G1 Stradbroke Hcp last start and is on target for another Epsom tilt this Spring.

The September (Early) online sale also includes a fundraiser for injured jockey Elissa Meredith, with eight charity items listed at the top of the catalogue.

Organised by trainer Louise Munce and the NSW Trainers Association, the charity items are a mix of racing, sporting and hospitality packages, with all proceeds from the sale being presented to Meredith, who is recovering from brain contusions following a race fall at Gunnedah on July 4.
