Merry Christmas - Widden Whinnies

Day One of Inglis Classic was a good one which made for happy sellers and Maree McEwan was out speaking to them.

The $125,000 Listed Strutt Stakes (2020m) in Hobart on Sunday was expected to be won by the visiting Henry Dwyer trained filly Aurora Rise, but the favourite was no match for locally trained Anders filly Daytona Diva.

Given the numbers of people and the numbers of inspections it’s fair to say there’s a very good vibe about the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale and Maree McEwan was out and about talking to more of the players on Friday.

It’s often said yearling buyers drill for oil where they have found it before and that rang true when BK Racing purchased a colt by Hellbent for $400,000 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Sunday.

Local trainer David Greene can’t wait to head to Te Rapa on Saturday where he will be chasing $1.125 million in prizemoney with a trio of runners.

A filly and a colt both directly targeted at the Classic Yearling Sale to “stand out from the crowd’’ strongly rewarded their owners today as Inglis’ live sales season started on a positive note.

Star Thoroughbreds have had a  hot run of success over the Tasmanian summer carnival and while prolific winner Durazzo had to settle for second in the Listed Thomas Lyons Stakes to Victorian raider Steparty, three year-old filly Sanniya captured the Group III Mystic Journey Stakes (1200m) in Hobart on Sunday.
