  • Race Fillies Lead The Way for Inglis

    Friday, 13th August 2021

    Race fillies have dominated the Inglis Digital August (Early) Online Sale, with the Shadwell-bred Sulwaan (I Am Invincible) topping the sale at $300,000. A 3YO unraced half-sister to Group 2-winning filly Wawail (Lonhro) out of high-class mare El Daana (Redoute’s Choice), Sulwaan was purchased by ML Stables and will be trained by Anthony Mountney at Kembla Grange. “Her trial form was really good and I had a few people who I respect greatly, tell me she would be a fabulous get for the stable,” ML Stables’ Tory Lavalle said. “She’ll go straight into work now, I think she arrives at the stables on Tuesday and she might have a week or so to get used to the new surroundings, but then it’s straight into the process and we get her ready to race. With a mare like her, she’s so well bred so we get that extra shot with her not only as a racing prospect but in the breeding barn as well, so it’s very exciting!” Sulwaan was part of a trio of Shadwell 3YO fillies that were offered by Lindsay Park Racing as agent for the late HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s dispersal of bloodstock. The others were Ghazaaly (Hinchinbrook) purchased by Arrowfield Stud for $75,000 and Bakreya (Muhaara) bought for $27,500 by Kacy Fogden Racing. It was a 100% strike rate for Lindsay Park, with six from six lots sold, including the 5% share in evergreen galloper So Si Bon. The top six lots in the sale were offered in the race filly category, as the desire for top class fillies and mares showing no signs of waning.
