Inglis graduates featured heavily with a Group 1 win and several other stakes wins on a wonderful weekend of racing around the country.

Fontiton's very impressive victory in the Blue Diamond Prelude for fillies at Caulfield last Saturday was an object lesson for buyers at one of Australia’s forthcoming most elite yearling markets, the Inglis Premier Sale to be conducted at Oaklands, Melbourne on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Quality colt Brazen Beau very nearly gave Yarraman Park’s young sire sensation I Am Invincible his first Group I winner back in the winter when he was beaten a long head in the Group I BRC JJ Atkins Stakes and he made amends at Flemington on Saturday when beating a crackerjack field to win the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Inglis graduates made an audacious run at spring riches snaring six black type races between Sydney and Melbourne on Saturday, following success in Hong Kong’s first stakes race of the new season on Wednesday. All the respective winners have eyes on Group 1 events in the coming months.
