The Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale last week produced strong results and a record average of $51,829, providing another look at the progeny of several exciting young first season sires, so let’s check out the best of their results.
A total of 55 weanlings sold for $100,000 or more– up from 27 last year – and the following first season sires had youngsters sell in that top echelon.
Coolmore’s Golden Slipper winner Shinzo has had strong results at the previous weanling sales this year and had the top seller for a first season sire at this sale when his colt from Je Suis Belle sold for $240,000.
Consigned by Burnewang North, the colt is the second foal of stakes-winner Je Suis Belle and was bought by Stefan Pardi’s SP Thoroughbreds for the purpose of pinhooking into a major yearling sale next year.
Newgate Farm’s young I Am Invincible son King’s Gambit won the Group II ATC Roman Consul Stakes and was placed in a Golden Slipper.
He delivered a great result for Armidale Stud when their colt from stakes-placed Flying Krupt sold for $210,000. He is a half-brother to Tassie 2YO sensation Aristopolos and was bought by Blue Gum Farm / Suman Hedge Bloodstock.
Cambridge Stud shuttler Chaldean (GB) is a champion son of Frankel that was a G1 winner at two and won the G1 Newmarket 2000 Guineas at three, so leans to the profile of a sprinter miler.
His first weanling to sell in the Southern Hemisphere was presented by Burnewang North and the filly from Summerinthecity sold for $180,000 to Scott Seamer.
Darley’s G1 Newmarket Handicap winner Cylinder stands in Victoria so had a strong selection at this sale and his best result came with a colt from Superego offered by Pepper Tree Farm.
He sold for $150,000 to Blue Gum Farm / Suman Hedge Bloodstock and not far behind him was a Cylinder filly from Speech that made $145,000 for Gippsland Bloodstock when bought by astute Queenslander Robin Wise.
Woodside Park is home to Dubawi’s top class G1 son Benbatl (GB), who shuttles from Japan and he made a splash with a colt from Tarcoola Diva that sold for $120,000.
Offered by Tarcoola Stud, the colt was bought by Merrick Staunton for a Hong Kong based client.
