Inglis Digital Bargain Buys Deliver Kosciuszko Dreamers

Tara Madgwick - Sunday August 3

Sunshine Law was not the only Inglis Digital success story to come out of the Rosehill meeting on Saturday with two contenders for this year’s $2million Kosciuszko also giving connections cause to dream big and one of them is an unbeaten mare with a Black Type pedigree.

Murwillumbah trainer Matt Dunn is lethal when he comes to Sydney for a Highway race and he got the cash on Saturday with unbeaten four year-old mare Without Parallel.

Ridden by Anna Roper, Without Parallel mad it four wins in as many starts when bolting in by  five lengths as a short priced favourite.

Dunn immediately announced his intention to target the Kosciuszko.

"We have to start thinking seriously about the race now," Dunn said.

"Horses can go from Highway races to The Kosciuszko but they need to win like she did.

"I did something similar with a horse called Derry Grove. He won two Highways before running in The Kosciuszko.

"I've got a bit more time up my sleeve with this horse, so I'll go home and plot a path.

"She's a good candidate."

Without Parallel was snapped up as an unraced two year-old from the 2023 Ingis Digital in November for $7,000 by BRT Bloodstock.

Conceived in New Zealand, she is by well bred Dubawi stallion Time Test (GB), who shuttled for several seasons to New Zealand and is now based in Turkey.

She is the second winner from Special Asset, an unraced daughter of another less than successful shuttle sire in The Factor (USA), but if you go back a little further this is a pedigree steeped in Black Type.

A daughter of stakes-winning juvenile Firenza, who had nine foals to race all winners, Special Asset was obviously a good sort as she made $100,000 as a weanling. She is a half-sister to Group III winner Tuscan Sling and to the dams of Group winner Kiwia and stakes-winner Assertive Approach.

Third dam Zippast was also a stellar producer with 13 foals that all raced and 12 of them won with her descendants including Group winners Lite’n in my Veins, Hi World and Written Beauty, who was bought by Kia Ora Stud at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for $1.1million.

Without Parallel has won over $142,000 in winning her first four starts, but that may well be the tip of the iceberg if she can emulate the success of some of her family members.

Later in the day Dubbo trainer Dar Lunn enjoyed a sweet return to winning form with six year-old El Roca gelding Elson Boy, who was bought by part-owner Guy Mitchell for $6,000 as an unraced two year-old on Inglis Digital in September 2021.

Elson Boy won the Benchmark 78 event over 1400m by nearly two lengths and has now won 10 of 31 starts earning over $500,000 in prizemoney.

Dar Lunn can now plot a path to the A$2 million The Kosciuszko (1200m) on October 18, a race the gelding finished ninth in last year.
