Recent Perth Cup winner Casino Seventeen , a Group placed Snitzel mare in foal to global sire sensation Justify and a G1 placed son of Redoute's Choice are just some of the highlights in a spectacular first Inglis Digital online sale for 2024.
The January Sale will see 455 lots offered – 318 racehorses (138 race fillies), 56 broodmares, 52 racehorse shares, 25 yearlings, 3 unbroken stock and 1 stallion.
One of the standout entries is millionaire Inglis Classic Yearling Sale graduate Casino Seventeen (pictured), the consistent Perth-based galloper who was a strong victor of the G2 $1m Perth Cup earlier this month at his most recent outing.
He is already a nine-time winner and has finished in the top four at 17 of his past 18 starts.
Slumber Party (Snitzel), carrying a hugely valuable Justify pregnancy, is another outstanding offering in the January Sale.
Dual Stakes placed as a 2YO, the well-bred mare has had three runners to race – all of whom are winners – while her yearling daughter by Zoustar realised $375,000 to the bid of Bjorn Baker Racing/Cunningham Thoroughbreds/Clarke Bloodstock last week.
Covering sire Justify is the sire of last season's star 2YO filly and Easter Sale graduate Learning To Fly and this year's early standout 2YO colt Storm Boy.
The G1 performer Military Expert is also an entry sure to attract significant attention.
The Annabel Neasham-trained 5YO ran 3rd in the G1 Toorak Handicap – as well as being Stakes placed on another four occasions – and is more than capable of featuring in many of the big prizemoney races in the upcoming autumn carnival.
Other catalogue highlights include:
Ajay Tee – Stakes placed half sister to dual G1 winner Prowess, offered IF to War Decree
Aultbea – Exciting 3-in-1 package from the family of Exceed And Excel, offered IF to popular stallion Hellbent and with a Palace Pier filly at foot
Ihts Closing Inn – Dual Stakes winner with considerable racing and breeding upside, from the family of Bruckner and Jukebox
Kazemi – Half sister to a G1 winner and has already produced a Stakes performer, her yearlings have sold up to $225,000
Lauda Sion – G1 winner in Japan, still an entire and a potential future stallion prospect
Luncies – 2.5% share in the G3 winner and G2 placed galloper who is likely on a G1 Sydney Cup preparation
Master Copy – Last start Sydney metropolitan winner, this 4YO has significant racing upside
Sassyness – G3 placed mare, this daughter of Sacred Falls is offered as a racing and breeding prospect
Top Of The Pops – Five-time winner from just 18 starts, an ideal candidate for the $3m Big Dance
Wasted Youth – Daughter of I Am Invincible who was a $400,000 yearling and a last start winner
