Dean Hawkins of Wentwood Grange couldn’t believe what he was witnessing when their Ghaiyyath colt sold for a sale-high $625,000 on the third and final day of the Classic Yearling Sale at Riverside this afternoon.
A filly and a colt both directly targeted at the Classic Yearling Sale to “stand out from the crowd’’ strongly rewarded their owners today as Inglis’ live sales season started on a positive note.
The highest-priced colt ever sold at an Inglis Ready2Race Sale topped a record day of trade that resulted in the biggest turnover in the sale’s history today.
