Lot 78 Youngstar was sold for $1.4million

A $1million earner that was consigned for this sale by Middlebrook Valley Lodge, Youngstar has the performance, but also the pedigree as she is a half-sister by champion sire High Chaparral (IRE) to this season’s Group I ATC Flight Stakes winner Funstar and also to the dam of this season’s Group I ATC All Aged Stakes winner Tofane.

Youngstar was bought as a yearling at Inglis Premier by Anton Koolman Bloodstock for $200,000, so has proven a fabulous investment for her owners who include Arthur and Charlotte Inglis.
