Bold Bastille has become the latest stakes-winning filly to join Yulong’s ranks, with the three-year-old daughter of Brazen Beau selling to Walnut Farm for $810,000 through Inglis Digital.
Bold Bastille has won over $750,000, registering victories in four of her nine starts, included a trio of Listed races for Lindsay Park in the colours of majority owner Ozzie Kheir.
If she is to continue her racing career, it will likely be in the Yulong colours, with Walnut Farm one of the buying outfits utilised by Zhang Yuesheng’s outfit, which has become the biggest breeding operation in Australia.
It is believed she will continue her racing career, although with which stable has not been revealed. Yulong do race horses with the Hayes brothers.
Out of stakes winning Exceed And Excel mare Chloe in Paris, Bold Bastille was a $270,000 yearling buy for Group 1 Bloodstock and Lindsay Park at the 2023 Inglis Melbourne Premier Sale.
Her grandam Innovation Girl was also a stakes winner, and Group 1 placed and is also the dam of Ideas Man, who like Bold Bastille won the Inglis Banner as a two-year-old. She Dances and Larimer Street are other stakes-winning members of that family.

Group 1 Bloodstock’s Mat Becker, Kheir’s bloodstock manager, was delighted with the result.
“All the owners are over the moon, we’re so happy with the outcome, everybody is just really pleased,’’ Becker said.
“It’s great to see her end up at that price, she really deserved it and it was very exciting to watch the bidding that final half hour or so, it really soared.”
