$1.8 Million Samaready to Visit Justify

Tara Madgwick - Friday May 8

Coolmore’s Tom Magnier secured Group I winner Booker earlier in the Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $1.6 million and then later added Champion Sprinting filly Samaready to his tally for $1.8 million, both mares set to be covered by Triple Crown winner Justify (USA) in the spring.

Consigned by Vinery Stud, Samaready won the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes and MVRC Moir Stakes and her first foal to race is Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Exhilarates, who was bought by Godolphin for $600,000 at Magic Millions in 2018.

Lot 73 Samaready was sold for $1.8million

By champion sire More Than Ready (USA), she was offered in foal to champion sire Snitzel on an early service so will produce a full sibling to Exhilarates for her new owner later this year.
