Offered as a racing and breeding proposition, Group I placed stakes-winner Snow in May was an early highlight at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale on Thursday afternoon when selling for $1,050,000.
Consigned in the Segenhoe Stud draft, the daughter of The Autumn Sun was knocked down to Yulong Investments.
Currently in work with Tom Charlton, four year-old Snow in May won the Listed Canberra Guineas at three and racked up multiple Group placings including a second to Autumn Glow in the Group II ATC Tea Rose Stakes and a third to Lady Shenandoah in the Group I ATC Flight Stakes.
She was originally a $150,000 Inglis Easter Yearling purchase from Attunga Stud and won over $437,000 for her current group of owners, who include Julia Ritchie of Bangaloe Stud.
“The timing was right to sell now, and her last run showed she was her back in the zone, which is great,” said Julia Ritchie.
“She got a little bit wayward for a while there, but she's a beautiful mare and I think she has still got some running to go with her yet.
“Some of us involved with her are breeders and some will be moving on to look at other horses at this sale as well.
“I know as a breeder, I'll be looking at a few later in the sale to maybe purchase if I can afford them.”
