Next month’s Melbourne Premier Sale was well and truly in the spotlight as Inglis graduates put themselves in the frame for a seventh Blue Diamond in 10 years today.
Danleigh and Avenue - both progeny of Inglis Broodmare graduates - shared the limelight with four times Premier stakes winner Carrara at last night's star-studded Moonee Valley meeting.
Progressive colt Carrara put himself in the frame for the Caulfield Guineas and in the process picked up a lucrative Inglis $100,000 Race Series Bonus when winning in Listed company at Flemington today.
Led by unbeaten filly Black Caviar, Inglis graduates dominated at today's feature Makybe Diva Stakes meeting at Flemington, winning five of the first six races, including three at stakes level.
Black Caviar lived up to the long odds-on price tag when easily adding to her imposing record, before impressive Elvstroem colt Carrara made it a stakes double for 2008 Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale graduates at Moonee Valley today.
The brilliant run of sales success being enjoyed by Coolmore’s Fastnet Rock continued at Oaklands today when a colt made $225,000 at the opening weanling session of the Inglis Great Southern Sale.
