Confederation tops Inglis Digital sale at $205,000 as Tron Bolt’s brother makes $200,000

Chris Waller-trained colt Confederation has topped the Inglis Digital October (Late) Online Sale, selling for $205,000 to Rosemont Stud.

The three-year-old Wootton Bassett colt cost $650,000 as a yearling and has had five starts, all at Group level, for placings in the Group 3 Canonbury Stakes and Group 3 Vain Stakes before he was catalogued by the Coolmore Colts Syndicate. He will now head to Tony Gollan to be trained.

The Coolmore syndicate also sold First Act to Griffiths Racing for $105,000.

Its representative, Brian McGuire, said both colts drew enquiries from local and international buyers and he expected both to keep racing in Australia.

X Bloodstock paid $200,000 for the second-top lot, an unraced two-year-old Toronado colt out of Baccarat Baby. He is a full brother to Tron Bolt, who topped the 2025 Ready2Race Sale at $900,000 and won the Group 1 JJ Atkins in June.

“We liked Tron Bolt at the Inglis Ready2Race Sale last year but didn’t have enough money to buy him and obviously he’s gone on to be a Group 1-winning colt,” X Bloodstock’s Kevin Sin said.

Sin said a trainer would be chosen in the coming days.

“One option is to get him up to Hong Kong eventually to race but we’re also happy to keep him in Australia, we just need to find out what’s under the bonnet first,” he said.

Two 2.5 per cent shares in She’s Supreme sold for $10,000 each. The sales value the Exceedance filly at $400,000, ten times her $40,000 price at the Classic Yearling Sale in February. She won her heat at the first official two-year-old trials at Randwick and then ran third in the Group 3 Gimcrack Stakes on debut.

The sale grossed $2,581,100. The other six-figure lots were Queen Of Clubs ($155,000 to Blue Gum Farm and Suman Hedge Bloodstock), an unnamed Zoustar two-year-old ($145,000 to Monarch Racing) and Undercovered ($125,000 to AK Select).
