The first session of the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale on Monday produced a new overall record price for this sale when a filly by Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside sold for $650,000.
Consigned by Victorian based vendors Noorilim Park, the star filly is the second foal of Group I MRC Oakleigh Plate winner Sheidel and was bought by Damon Gabbedy of Belmont Bloodstock.
The filly was bred Noorilim Park and Robert Crabtree, who purchased Sheidel as a tried racemare out of Western Australia and then raced her on successfully to win the Oakleigh Plate before her retirement to stud in 2018.
Sheidel has been a troubled producer and had three unsuccessful seasons at stud before producing a colt by Blue Point (IRE) in 2022 and then missed again before foaling this filly last year.
She is now back in foal again to Stay Inside, whose first yearlings have sold exceptionally well this year for up to $1million. He has had 30 yearlings sell for $250,000 or more this year and stands at Newgate Farm this spring at a fee of $66,000.
