$2.5million Yearling Latest Inglis Digital Success Story

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jul 13

Sold as a yearling for $2.5million, Pi Legend is writing another chapter of the Inglis Digital success story after racking up back to back wins at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Sale ring star Pi Legend has found a new lease of life in Hong Kong.

The second highest priced colt by I Am Invincible ever sold, Pi Legend was a showstopper at Magic Millions in 2023, but after scoring just one maiden win for the Ciaron Maher stable under the name Railway Man, he found himself offered on Inglis Digital in March last year.

He was purchased by Pure Bloodstock for $210,000 and duly gelded and exported to Hong Kong to join the Brett Crawford stable.

Re-named Pi Legend, he broke the ice for his new connections back in April, then added another win last month and then made it back to back wins when scoring a tenacious victory on Sunday over 1200m in the Class Three sprint.

Pi Legend has now won four of 17 starts and is a full brother to stakes-placed Ernaux and they are the first two foals to race from Group I winner Booker, who was bought by Tom Magnier back 2020 at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $1.6million.

Booker produced a colt by Justify (USA) at Coolmore last spring and was then covered by Switzerland.
