The catalogue for the 2015 Inglis August Thoroughbred Sale, to be held at Oakland’s Junction in Melbourne on 21 August, is now online featuring quality broodmares, racing prospects, stallion shares and stallion nominations.
Talented mare Angelic Light went within a whisker of providing Cranbourne trainer Robbie Griffiths with his first Group 1 success when she was an unlucky second to Lankan Rupee in the Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley last October.
Five-year-old mare Angelic Light (Holy Roman Emperor x Flashed) did what many felt was impossible, upstaging the World’s Highest Rated Sprinter Lankan Rupee in the Group 2 McEwen Stakes over 1000m at Moonee Valley.
You could have been forgiven for thinking the finish of the $120,000 Listed Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m) was a Group 1 feature such was the enormous roar as Octavia held off a gallant Member’s Joy.
The first Black Type event at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate eve was the Listed MVRC Crockett Stakes with victory going to lightly raced Holy Roman Emperor (IRE) filly Angelic Light.
