Inglis releases Ready2Race footage as 226 juveniles break 11 seconds
Prima Park’s pair broke 10 seconds at Taupo as buyers gained access to footage for a record 321-lot catalogue ahead of the October 15 sale.
Inglis has released all breeze-up footage and times for its October 15 Ready2Race Sale, with 82 per cent of participating two-year-olds recording times under 11 seconds.
A total of 277 juveniles breezed over five days, with 226 breaking that 11-second mark.
“Vendors will be presenting the best credentialled, best prepared group of horses that we have ever had for the sale and it is very exciting,” Inglis bloodstock sales manager Harry Bailey said.
At Taupo, Prima Park’s Cosmic Force gelding out of Munjai, lot 53, clocked 9.87 seconds over 200 metres on a Soft 6 course proper. Its Zousain colt out of Undoubtedly So, lot 158, recorded 9.90 seconds.
Warwick Farm hosted the largest session, with 116 juveniles breezing on a Good 4 course proper. Hannover Lodge’s Capitalist out of Lunar Light, lot 35, ran 9.96 seconds over 200 metres.
“I watched him 10 days ago at Muswellbrook and was impressed then by his technique and professionalism so I think the time he’s breezed in is just a reflection of the fact he was ready to do this and he’s a really nice horse,” Hannover Lodge’s Jade Findlay said.
Blake Ryan’s Home Affairs colt out of Dream Cirque, lot 263, recorded 10.17 seconds. The colt is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Lightsaber. Ryan breezed 18 juveniles at the session and said all finished within a second of each other.
At Wangaratta, 110 two-year-olds breezed on a Good 4 course proper. Hawthorne Lane’s Justify colt out of Crystal Fountain, lot 250, clocked 10.11 seconds over 200 metres.
The record 321-lot catalogue is 97 lots larger than last year’s. Inglis said 232 entries were acquired at auction specifically for the sale, while 35 per cent are siblings or offspring of black-type performers.
