Fastest breeze time bought by Hong Kong connections from Symphony Lodge.
The Inglis Ready2Race Sale was topped by a son of Newgate Farm's Super One (I Am Invincible) who was bought by Hong Kong-based K F Cheng for $400,000. The colt was sold by Symphony Lodge and posted the fastest times at the breeze up - 10.03 seconds.
"It was fantastic, such an amazing result. We were obviously unable to be there so we watched the Sale Day Live broadcast all day with Caroline Searcy and Katelyn Mallyon and it was fabulous, it's really interesting and a great way to watch the sale,'' Symphony's Alison Park said.
"The result with the Super One colt was amazing but at the end of the day he breezed up quick, he's a quick horse, he's big and scopey, he wasn't pushed, he did it all so naturally so he deserved to sell well.
"It absolutely exceeded expectations though. Super One is great for the overseas market but he probably hasn't had the runners here yet to get that same recognition so we never really knew how the horse would sell so to top the sale, wow, it really is amazing. I thought we'd get $200,000-$250,000 especially after the X-Ray hits which were big, plus he was busy during parades but $400,000? No way did I see that coming.
"We sent three nice horses who all sold well, they've all gone to great homes, the Super One result especially is just phenomenal. It's great for us, great for our brand, it makes us want to have more horses at next year's Inglis 2YO Sale.''
The colt is out of the unraced Exceed And Excel (Danehill) mare Cash First who is a half-sister to the dam of Group Three winner She's So High (I Am Invincible). Further back this is the family of Shooting To Win (Northern Meteor) and Deep Field (Northern Meteor).
