July (Early) Sale jammed with top quality prospects - Open for Bidding

Media Release - Friday July 7

Another exceptionally strong and diverse catalogue of 433 lots has been finalised for the Inglis Digital July (Early) Sale, which is now open for bidding.

While the sale will be headlined by the previously announced and hugely desirable mares Another Award (Shamus Award) and She’s All Class (pictured, I Am Invincible) – both being offered as racing and breeding prospects - the depth of quality in the catalogue overall is extreme.

Stakes winners Charmmebaby (Charm Spirit) and Majestic Shot (Shooting To Win) are two other top class mares that are being offered as racing and breeding prospects.

Charmmebaby is a two-time black type victor who most recently contested the G1 Tatt’s Tiara at Eagle Farm a fortnight ago while Majestic Shot is a Stakes winner during the recent Brisbane Winter Carnival.

There are also some significant unreserved reduction drafts in the July (Early) Sale, highlighted by Godolphin and Contract/Hesket.

Godolphin will offer 26 lots – racehorses, race fillies and broodmares – highlighted by two-time G2 winner and last start Stakes winner Character (Teofilo).

Character has won at Stakes level at two of his past three starts, making him a lucrative racing prospect for any trainer or syndicator in Australia or New Zealand.
