Punters were on the ball when sending out first starter Glissade a $2,25 favourite in Saturday’s Autumn Carnival On Sale Now Handicap (1000m) at Royal Randwick, with the daughter of Redoute’s Choice holding on strongly to defeat Swerte Bella (Charge Forward) and Queenian (Dubleo).

The 2007 William Inglis & Son Australian Select Broodmare Sale proved, yet again, that cream rises to the surface, resulting in another brisk day of trade with 202 lots sold for $10,315,850 at an average of $75,298.
