Another Award (Shamus Award) and She’s All Class (I Am Invincible), two hugely desirable race mares, are the latest high profile entrants confirmed for the Inglis Digital online platform.
Fresh off the success of Daisies ($920,000) and Literary Magnate ($640,000) – among many others - in the June (Late) Sale which grossed more than $8m on Wednesday evening, dual G1 placed mare Another Award and She’s All Class – one of the best 2YO fillies of her generation – have been entered for the July (Early) Sale.
A winner and Stakes placed as a 2YO, Another Award is one of the most progressive sprinters in training.
At her most recent outing in mid-May, she finished 0.7L behind Royal Merchant in the G1 Goodwood Handicap (1200m), defeating the likes of Zapateo, Lofty Strike, Seradess, Kementari, Zoutori, Savatoxl etc.
A fortnight earlier, the Leon Macdonald and Andrew Gluyas-trained 5YO was just 0.3L behind outstanding 3YO filly Ruthless Dame when finishing 2nd in the G1 Robert Sangster Stakes.
On that occasion, Another Award beat home top-class gallopers including Bella Nipotina, Espiona, September Run, Marabi, Roch ‘N’ Horse, Passive Aggressive, Chain Of Lightning etc.
Those two runs have been career-best performances for Another Award, generating peak Timeform ratings of 111 and 112 respectively.
She is being offered by Willow Grove’s Ralph Satchell and the ownership group as a racing and breeding prospect in the Inglis Digital July (Early) Sale and represents an outstanding opportunity for investors to have their colours worn by a G1 race mare and target any of the 43 Australian Stakes races run from 1100m – 1400m for fillies and mares only, for which there is $9.6m in prizemoney on offer.
“She’s in pristine condition, she came back into the stable [Wednesday] morning, she’s a lovely sound mare who’s in great form so she’s a genuine dual purpose purchase for somebody because I have no doubt she’ll produce magnificent foals as well in time,’’ Satchell said.
“Her past two runs she’s narrowly been beaten at G1 level, she’s had five weeks off since and has spelled extremely well and as people will see in videos and photos in coming days, she’s such a good-looking mare, very attractive with a lovely head.
“We just thought the time was right to offer her for sale. She’s in career-best form, we’re on the cusp of the breeding season and while I would love to buy her myself, she’s too valuable now and as the other owners aren’t breeders, the best and easiest thing to do was to put her up for sale on Inglis Digital.
“She’s a fast mare who excels up to 1400m, she can run in all the big sprint G1 races in the spring and into next autumn before commencing a breeding career in 2024.’’
Another Award will be joined by She’s All Class as a standout entry in the July (Late) Sale.
A dual Stakes-winning mare who has earned almost $600,000 on the track to date, She’s All Class has a hugely appealing set of credentials as a racing and breeding prospect.
The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace trainee has contested black type races at 15 of her 20 career starts.
Showing her elite speed and precocity early in her career, She’s All Class broke her maiden in Stakes company as a 2YO at just her second outing when winning the Listed Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic by 4.7 lengths, the biggest-ever winning margin of the race, previously won by the likes of Capitalist, Farnan, Jonker, Karuta Queen etc.
She also finished 3rd in the $2m Magic Millions Classic and 2nd in the G2 Sweet Embrace Stakes, beaten just a long head by Four Moves Ahead, at two.
As a 4YO this season, she won the Listed Abell Stakes (defeating the likes of Lombardo, Mileva, In The Boat, Lady of Honour etc) – finished 2nd in the G3 Cockram Stakes and 3rd in the G2 Rose Of Kingston Stakes.
This season alone she has defeated the likes of Kissonallforcheeks, Passive Aggressive, Flying Mascot, Isotope, Graceful Girl, Odeum, Yearning, Sirileo Miss, Roots, Mirra Vision, September Run, Revolutionary Miss etc.
She’s All Class has achieved two of her top three career peak performances in her past five starts, evidence she still has significant racing upside.
At her penultimate start, she was a desperately unlucky 4th in the G2 Dane Ripper Stakes over 1400m at Eagle Farm, beaten less than a length.
In a demonstration of the rarity of the opportunity presented by She’s All Class, she will be just the fifth Stakes-winning 2YO filly by her Champion sire to be offered for sale off the track and ready for a maiden cover should the purchaser so choose, following Fiesta ($1,350,000), Invincible Star ($1,450,000), I Am A Star and Fake Love ($505,000).
She’s All Class will be offered by Yarraman Park Stud on behalf of the ownership group, headlined by Yes Bloodstock’s Brae Sokolski.
“We’re really excited to present this quality mare on Inglis Digital on behalf of a fantastic bunch of owners who have had the ride of a lifetime with her,’’ Yarraman Park’s Matt Scown said.
“She arrived [at Yarraman] late [Thursday] afternoon from Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s stables and wow, she’s the most magnificent type, she’s in absolute pristine condition.
“She really is what the Australian breeding landscape craves – she’s as good a type as you will see, she’s by a champion sire in I Am Invincible, she has speed and precocity and a stunning turn of foot and she’s proven herself at Stakes level time and again.
“She also possesses a Danehill-free pedigree which will no doubt be of great appeal to all level of breeders in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.
“She’s fully sound, she’s unreserved, she’s fair game.’’
She’s All Class will be available for inspection at Yarraman from Monday.
Contact Scown on 0481 989 661 to organise an inspection.
Entries for the Inglis Digital July (Early) Sale are open until midnight Wednesday (July 5).
