The Australian racing industry is rallying behind injured jockey Elissa Meredith, who will be the beneficiary of eight outstanding items to be auctioned in the Inglis Digital September (Early) Online Sale.
Undefeated duo Missy Cummings and The Huntress are headed for the Inglis Race Series riches on offer during the two day Scone Carnival next month following black-type wins on Saturday.
It wouldn’t be a Melbourne Spring Carnival at Flemington without the Cummings name coming to the fore and at this year’s opening day it was Anthony who took the limelight with Fiveandahalfstar winning the day’s $1.5million feature, the Group 1 VRC Victoria Derby (2500m).
The strength of yesterday’s opening session of the 2005 June Weanling Sale continued today, with a total of 304 weanlings overall selling for a new record gross of $3,314,554 and a record average price of $10,903, up 15% on last year.
