A look at the results from the first Ready2Race Sale breeze-ups.
Video footage of Monday's Inglis Ready2Race Sale breeze-ups, where Showtime was the standout performer, are now available online.
The Arrowfield stallion had a colt out of Damselle ran 10.14 seconds at the breeze-up session held at Seymour, where he also had the second-fastest two-year-old in action – a colt out of Datable who ran 10.20secs.
They were the fastest of 63 horses who breezed-up at Seymour, while a session was also held at Cambridge in New Zealand with video footage now accessible via the Inglis digital platform.
The colt out of Domesday mare Damselle is part of the draft from renowned trader Tal Nolen and was ridden by his acclaimed jockey son Luke, who had high praise after the workout.
"He's a thorough professional, did everything right and he gave me a good feel underneath so he's ready made. Whoever purchases him is going to have some fun," Nolen said.
Nolen also had a colt by Dundeel run 10.47secs and a Blue Point colt who ran 10.53secs.
JCS Thoroughbreds had the third and fourth fastest juveniles of the Seymour session, a colt by Harry Angel and a colt by Rubick who ran 10.23secs and 10.26secs respectively.
A Smart Missile colt from Moffatt Breaking and Pre-training rounded out the day's top five, running 10.31secs.
That was one-hundredth of a second fastest than the fastest horse of the New Zealand session, a colt by Zoustar out of Strata Lady.
He is from the Prima Park draft, which also had the day's second-fastest performer, a colt by Harry Angel.
"We are over the moon with how they performed today," Prima Park's Kelly Van Dyk said.
"They have both been very impressive throughout their education and it's just the icing on the cake to see them go out and perform the way they did.
"Both have shown they have a lot of ability and we are very proud of them.
"It was trying conditions out there today, it was a very windy day and for them to breeze up like that was great to see."
The next set of breeze-ups will be held at Hawkesbury this Friday, with over 100 lots set to work out.
The youngsters are out to impress before going under the hammer at Inglis's Riverside Sales Complex at Warwick Farm in Sydney on October 10.
