Three-year-old filly by I Am Invincible makes $265,000.
For the second time this month, a three-year-old filly by Yarraman Park-based sire I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) has come out on top of the Inglis Digital online auction, with the unraced Surething To Win selling to Peter Robl Racing for $265,000 in the October (Late) catalogue.
The filly was offered on behalf of the estate of the late Trevor Stuckey and Robl also purchased the unraced Stunning To Win (Outreach) from the same draft for $50,000, with the consignment grossing $401,750 from six horses sold.
"I purchased Surething To Win on behalf of a good client who was keen to pick up two fillies from the Trevor Stuckey dispersal," Robl said.
"I knew the filly from Snowden's and both her and the other one we purchased – Stunning To Win (Outreach) for $50,000 – have won trials in town as a two-year-old earlier in the year."
Catalogued as Lot 56, Surething To Win is out of winning Charge Forward (Red Ransom) mare Electric Charge.
Electric Charge herself is out of 2000 Widden Stakes (Listed, 1100m) winner Miss Bussell (Danzero), who is herself the dam of 2009 Adrian Knox Stakes (Gr 3, 2000m) winner Miss Darcey (Hussonet).
The filly's third dam is Group 1 winner Lurestina (Sir Tristram) and she is also the grandam of dual Group 2 winner Hurried Choice (Choisir).
Inglis Digital Business Manager Nick Melmeth was especially pleased with the sale of Surething To Win.
"We have a long-held belief that the Inglis Digital platform offers exceptional opportunities for the sale of unexposed stock, such as trial winners, and the sale of Surething To Win demonstrates that perfectly.
"Hopefully she is lucky for her new connections and sets a precedent for further sales of similar stock because the market, in terms of both domestic and international investors, is certainly there for the right profile of horse."
The second top lot was Lindsay Park-consigned three-year-old Albukhturi (Iffraaj) which sold to Perth-based Gangemi Thoroughbreds for $95,000.
Offered by Lindsay Park Racing and catalogued as Lot 34, the one-time winner is one of three winners out of the dual-winning O'Reilly (Last Tycoon) Our Essence, who is herself a daughter of Group 3 winner The Perfume Garden (Tights).
The Perfume Garden produced eight winners including stakes-placed pair Now Voyager (Last Tycoon) and Zazabelle (Zabeel), who in turn Group 2 winner Sky Boy (Pendragon).
The October (Late) Sale concluded with an aggregate of $1.99 million and a clearance rate of 79 per cent clearance.
Entries are open for the November (Early) Online Sale and close at midnight November 4.
