Some of the most extraordinary theatre ever witnessed in a sales ring anywhere around the world unfolded at Riverside Stables tonight when star 2YO filly Chayan (I Am Invincible) sold to Coolmore for an incredible $5.6m.
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.
Progressive 5YO Yorkshire (Snitzel) led in a trifecta of Inglis graduates in today’s $2m G2 The Ingham at Randwick, in doing so taking his career record to an impressive eight wins from just 11 starts.
He had the ‘wow factor’ at the Easter Yearling Sale and today, exciting 3YO Alabama Express (Redoute’s Choice) proved himself one of the most sought-after stallion prospects in the country with a devastating victory in the G1 CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield.
Mighty mare Jameka will take on the world later this year, but her trainer Ciaron Maher remains unsure exactly where and when that summit will be targeted.
