2YO Sale Mail – First Season Sires Poised for Action

Tara Madgwick - Friday November 8

Some lucrative juvenile races will be run on Saturday with the $500,000 VRC Inglis Banner (1000m) at Flemington and the $1million ATC Golden Gift (1000m) at Rosehill adding plenty of interest to an action packed day.

Won last year by Bold Bastille with eventual Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes winner Hayasugi running second, the Inglis Banner has Black Type status as a Restricted Listed race and has been switched from Cox Plate day to the Flemington Carnival and features 11 runners.

Six of them are by first season sires including the lone winner in the race Leave No Doubt, a son of Widden Stud’s Doubtland.

Chisholm was a $500,000 Inglis Easter purchase.

Most expensive runner is I Am invincible filly Chisholm, who made $500,000 at Inglis Easter and is a daughter of Group I winner Snitzerland. Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, she has had two trials in Sydney winning the second at Warwick Farm last month.

In Sydney, the Golden Gift is advertised as a Group III race, although given the current state of affairs regarding Black Type won’t be credited as that  by Arion which will be very annoying for the studs that stand the first season sires that have runners engaged.

Farnan has Breeders Plate place-getter North England in the race, Kia Ora Stud’s Farnan has Gimcrack place-getter O’ Ole and Coolmore have Wootton Basset (GB), the sire of first starter West of Swindon, who won a recent trial.
