Egyptian Missile Tops Inglis July (Late) Sale

The final Inglis Digital Auction of the 2020/21 season has been topped by 4YO mare Egyptian Missile (Smart Missile), who is set for a Written Tycoon cover. A three-quarter sister to Hong Kong Group 1 sprinter Strathmore (Fastnet Rock) and a half-sister to multiple Stakes winner Egyptian Symbol (Stratum), Egyptian Missile was offered by Bjorn Baker Racing as a racing and breeding proposition and was purchased by Cunningham Thoroughbreds in conjunction with Clarke Bloodstock for $230,000. “She’s going to visit Written Tycoon this coming season and will then head up to Ridgmont Farm in Scone,” Mitchell Cunningham said. “She obviously showed a lot of ability early on, running behind Libertini first up in the Listed Woodlands Stakes as a 2YO. It’s a progressive family and one full of quality fillies, there’s her three-quarter sister Cellsabeel (Hinchinbrook), while Egyptian Symbol has an I Am Invincible colt on the ground and is back in foal to him again. Plus her own dam Our Egyptian Raine was no slouch, being a Group 1 winner and Group 1 placed 10 times!”
