Talented colt Arkansaw Kid (Harry Angel) was a dream winner of today’s Listed Inglis Banner at Moonee Valley, earning his connections a stunning $500,000 pay day.

A catalogue bursting with quality has opened for bidding this afternoon, with the Inglis Digital August (Early) Online Sale not only including the Great Southern Sale weanlings (now officially yearlings) but highly prized fillies and mares, including She Will Reign’s half sister Rosina Kojonup.

Over 80 outstanding prospects set to be offered at the Inglis Sydney Ready 2 Race Sale were put through their paces on the course proper at Canterbury on Wednesday, recording some slick times ahead of their auction on Thursday 3 October 2013.

Robert Smerdon trained filly Shamal Wind showed her opposition a dazzling turn-of-foot at Flemington on Oaks Day, running away to an ultra-impressive two length victory in the Listed VRC Gucci Icons of Heritage Stakes (1200m).

Golden Slipper aspirations for unbeaten filly Cavalry Rose will be put to the test in Sunday's $250,000 Black Opal Stakes at Canberra.

Following the successful conclusion of the weanling sale, trade at the Easter Broodmare Sale got off to a healthy start at Newmarket this afternoon, with Belong To Me mare Lady Larissa bringing a final bid of $500,000 to top the session.
