Share in Charm Stone Tops Inglis September Online Sale
A 10% share in group 1-winning mare Charm Stone (I Am Invincible ) topped the Inglis September (Late) Online Sale Sept. 23 when selling for AU$310,000 (US$204,402, AU$1=US$0.66), the second-highest price for a racehorse share on the platform this year.
Charm Stone, a winner of the Robert Sangster Stakes (G1) in April and three other stakes races, is set to line up in the Manikato Stakes (G1) at The Valley Sept. 26 for trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr.
The 10% share—purchased by Walnut Farm—was offered by Rob Cummings and was the subject of fierce competition, with three individual bidders over the AU$250,000 mark.
“I’m very happy with the result,” Cummings said. “I’m downsizing my breeding operation and Will Stott—who looks after me at Inglis—advised me to list the share on Inglis Digital.
“Inglis did a great job with the marketing and Will goes above and beyond. The ownership group have been great, I’m still good friends with them and I wish them, and the new part-owner, the best of luck with her Friday night and into the future.”
The second-top lot was 3-year-old colt Valedictorian (Zoustar ), who sold to Eric Yeung for AU$200,000.
Valedictorian, out of the group 3-winning mare Lady Cosmology, was offered by James Harron Bloodstock on behalf of the ownership group.
In total, the September (Late) Sale grossed AU$2,919,050 (US$1,924,705) with Braveheart (AU$110,000 to Executive Racing Club), Field Of Myrtle (AU$110,000 to Kianben Bloodstock) and a juvenile Castelvecchio colt from Miss Helsinki (AU$100,000 to Monarch Racing Syndications) also selling for six figures.
