Two colts lead Inglis yearling session

A pair of colts brought top honors at the second session of the Inglis Sydney

Classic Yearling Sale Monday. The magic number yesterday was A$130,000, the

final price realized by Lot No. 183 -- a son of Fastnet Rock (Aus) -- and Lot

229, a colt by General Nediym.

The former, offered by Brooklyn Lodge, agent, was purchased by Hawkes Racing.

The bay is the sixth foal out of Razzia (Scenic [Ire]), a full-sister to

Australian three-year-old champion Universal Prince and Group 1 heroine

Universal Queen. Also paying top price Monday was Bert Veira, who secured the

Edinglassie Stud offering son of General Nediym out of Shannon Wood (Woodman).

The13-year-old unraced mare -- who is a half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner

Sharscay (Marscay) -- is already responsible for the Group 3-placed Road to

Athens (Redoute's Choice) and Group 1-placed Miss Lily Rose (Red Ransom).

A new mark for a filly was established at this year's sale when Les Bridge

gave A$120,000 for a filly by Excellent Art (GB). Out of Group 3 winner Starry

Way (Danehill), Lot 268 is a half-sister to multiple winner Butten Shaw (Peintre

Celebre). Consigned by Wimmera Park Stud, acting on behalf of Hillgrove Stud,

the November 8 foal is a granddaughter of Group 1 heroine Starline (*Sir

Tristram).

The final yearling to reach the six-figure mark Monday was Lot 369, a colt by

Not a Single Doubt. Offered from the draft of Bell River Thoroughbreds, the son

of Arthur's Lass (Unduplicated) brought a A$100,000 final bid from R Barry of

New South Wales.

"Once again, there was very good competition from a diverse buying bench,

which saw the clearance rate exceed 80 percent," Inglis Bloodstock Director

Jonathan D Arcy said. "It has been a very even sale for both buyers and vendors

so far with the figures slightly up on last year, which is pleasing given the

catalog is 10 percent larger."
