$1 Million Opening Bid for Funstar

Group 1-winning 4YO mare Funstar (Adelaide-Starspangled, by Danehill) headlines the catalogue for the Inglis Digital July (Early) Online Sale, which was opened for bidding on Friday. Somewhat unsurprisingly, an immediate $1 million bid was placed on the hugely exciting broodmare prospect. Funstar, winner of the 2019 Gr1 Flights Stakes (1600m) at Randwick among an outstanding racetrack career that saw her win $1.14 m in earnings from five victories and five minor placings – including three at Group 1 level – is the most high-profile horse ever offered on a digital sale, and is sure to attract the attention of all the major breeding operations from around the world. At her peak, Funstar’s Timeform rating reached an impressive 117, officially marking her down as one of the best 3YO fillies of the past decade in Australia, and ahead of the likes of glamour classic-aged fillies Shoals (Fastnet Rock), Catchy (Fastnet Rock), Global Glamour (Star Witness), Libertini (I Am Invincible), Omei Sword (High Chaparral), Yankee Rose (All American), Nakeeta Jane (So You Think), Invincible Star (I Am Invincible), I Am A Star (I Am Invincible) etc.
