The Inglis Digital October (Early) Online Sale has concluded this afternoon, with two lots realising $100,000 or more to bring to 94 the number of lots to reach that mark on Inglis Digital this year. 

Topping the sale was The Englishman, a 5YO gelding by Tavistock who was offered by Snowden Racing on behalf of his ownership group, including managing owners Think Big Stud.

He was purchased by Victorian-based Mount Ararat Plumbing for $115,000.

“It’s always nice to top a sale,” Think Big Stud’s Managing Director Duncan Ramage said.

“Peter [Snowden] said he had a lot of interest and we thought the horse would sell reasonably well, as he a good prospect with lots of upside for buyers.

“He was a $200,000 yearling, but from our perspective he won $80,000 this preparation and has sold for $115,000 so that amounts to a $200,000 prep.

“For the owners he won just shy of $200,000 so it’s nice to get close to a break square, which is not always achieved in racing!

“The Digital platform is the fairest platform to dissolve a syndicate, especially for these large ownership groups with smaller percentages.

“We offer them unreserved so if someone wants to buy the horse outright, they can,” he said.
