Still in the original ownership according to Racing Australia. Wonder if Sheamus Mills was up at Swift's Creek enjoying a cold beer and a hot dog.

One of the oldest tricks in the book.

A colt's worth $1m, and the breeder meets with a noted and well-regarded purchaser. They agree on a sale price of say $1.7m, and the vendor is allowed to buy back in for a percentage of $1m. Either that and/or the purchaser receives a kickback from the vendor. After which the purchaser sells shares in the horse at the inflated value.

Not that I'm saying that's what happened here.

Railway Man - $2.5m colt at 2023 Magic Millions

Debuted with a 5th of 7 on the Kenso today beaten 6 lengths.

Curiously the horse was sold as a yearling by Coolmore, who are now also part owner. Presumably majority owner given he went around in their purple with white seams today. So was the true price actually $2.5m??

Interestingly Fiorente ran second behind Nathaniel in this race 12 years ago.

No. He is a very good horse despite only having a maiden to his name he has real good form.

I backed this horse in the Derby , and he goes around at royal Ascot in the coming days

"He'll just be a plodder in our trainers systems."

He's a plodder now isn't he?

An honest politician is one who when he is bought will stay bought.

Inglis Digital Lot 342 - Oceanity (Snitzel-Slice of Paradise) for sale as a Stallion prospect.

Description

Oceanity is offered for unreserved sale by his owners. The son of Snitzel who is an entire who was a $1million yearling purchase at the Inglis Easter yearling sale. As you can image he is a smashing type out of the black type family of Slice Of Paradice, Alinghi,and Beneteau.

Oceanity raced 6 times for a win and 4 placings including a close second at Sandown over 1000m beaten 0.4 lengths. He had tendon issues and after a long rehabilitation he ran 3rd in a Cranbourne barrier trial on Feb 7th 2022 but pulled up sore the next day.

He has a great attitude and would make an ideal stallion for a small farm.

Logan has a reputation for "improving" horses.

More money than sense

A horse who set his owners back $1.7 million as a yearling will be sold as a tried horse in next week's Inglis Digital online sale.

Strategy, a four-year-old son of I Am Invincible out of Stakes-winning Snitzel mare Oakleigh Girl, is catalogued as Lot 59 in the sale and currently has a $900 bid ahead of Wednesday's deadline.

Originally purchased by a group of heavy hitters including trainer Lloyd Kennewell, Aquis, Ozzie Kheir and Group 1 Bloodstock at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, the galloper has so far failed to live up to his price tag on the track, with his two wins yielding $66,000 in prizemoney and a rating of 61.

Shares in Strategy had previously been offered via Inglis Digital last May, after the horse was gelded.

Other highlights in the current Inglis Digital catalogue include last-start Sydney winner Kinghsier, Lindsey Smith's untapped four-year-old Money For Old Rope and well-bred gelding Yulong Code, who won at Pakenham on Thursday night.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing

I think Prince Of Caviar was a far superior horse to what we got to see on the track.

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 18

The recent Inglis Digital January (early) online sale featured a significant clean out of geldings from the Chris Waller stable presenting a golden opportunity for other trainers to buy fully educated blue--bloods with plenty of racing still in them albeit not at a stakes level.

Captivare was the most expensive I Am Invincible colt sold in 2019.

A $1.4million Inglis Easter purchase in 2019, four year-old I Am Invincible gelding Captivare was bought by Steven O�Dea Racing for $80,000 so will do his future racing in Brisbane. A lone win and seven placings from 15 starts has netted $75,000 and change, which he can no doubt improve on in easier grade.

A $1.1million Magic Millions purchase, three year-old Exceed and Excel gelding Wizard of Oz sold for $50,000 to Jack Colley, while $900,000 2020 Karaka sale-topper Postulate (Pierro) sold for $16,000 to Hiwi Lodge.
