It was a day of staggering drama, global records and the most incredible bidding and theatre ever witnessed in a thoroughbred sales ring as the much anticipated daughter of Pierro and Winx set a world record price for a yearling filly at Riverside.
She’s the best filly Kevin and Vikki Payne have owned “by 100 miles’’ and Estriella could get her chance at G1 glory within weeks following another devastating victory in today’s Listed Sunlight Classic at Flemington.
Outstanding 3YO Celestial Legend gave owner Bon Ho another G1 win and exciting 2YO Switzerland kept his unbeaten record intact and confirmed himself a serious Golden Slipper contender as Inglis graduates flexed their muscle on a big day of autumn racing.
Momentum for this year’s Inglis Chairman’s Sale reached new heights at Randwick today when star 3YO filly Kimochi (Brave Smash) – who will be offered at the sale at Riverside in May – scored a scintillating win in the G2 Light Fingers Stakes.
Exciting racing prospects are again to the fore in the Inglis Digital November (Late) Online Sale with many quality offerings among the 254-strong catalogue, which is now open for bidding.
