Unbeaten Good Civilian Tops Inglis Digital USA July Sale

[Wandering Eyes]

The Inglis Digital USA July Sale closed Wednesday with a pair of stakes-winning juveniles heading up the trade, topped by Good Civilian (Good Samaritan–Lei It On Me, by Benny the Bull), who was secured by Flurry Racing for $240,000.

An impressive winner by 11 ½ lengths at Horseshoe Indianapolis June 14, the gelding followed up with a score in the Prairie Gold Juvenile Stakes at Prairie Meadows. Good Civilian was previously raced by Southwest Racing Stables Inc.

Good Civilian was consigned by trainer Genaro Garcia, who made the horse available for inspection from his barn at Horseshoe Indianapolis in Shelbyville, Ind.

“I'm glad we were able to get him,” said Staton Flurry of Flurry Racing. “He'll head to (trainer) Cipriano Contreras. I'm the biggest 'Cippy' fan there is, and he's stabled in Indiana. We'll point toward the Indiana-bred stakes with him and just see where we go once that meet is over.”

Bred in Indiana by Dawn Martin, Good Civilian is out of the Benny the Bull mare Lei It On Me, who is already responsible for a pair of winners.

Stakes-winning 2-year-old Border Czar (Beau Liam–Adalee, by Street Boss) was the second highest priced offering of the day, going to Zhenxi Li for $185,000. The filly, who won on debut at Woodbine on June 7 returned to take the July 12 My Dear Stakes.

Barbara Minshall, Border Czar's owner and trainer, consigned the filly from her base at Toronto-area Woodbine.

“I had a very good experience selling on the Inglis Digital USA sale platform,” Minshall said. “They were very helpful and informative as to what was required, and they kept me well informed as to the progress of the sale. Daily info sheets were sent, and I felt my horse was given excellent exposure. I would definitely choose to sell again with Inglis Digital USA.”

Border Czar, bred in Kentucky by Southern Comfort Farm, is out of Adalee, whose three winners from four runners also includes SW Feelgood Factor and multiple winner Sassy and Bold.

Wednesday's auction closed with 27 horses sold for revenues of $537,500, and an average sale price of $19,907.

“We knew going into the sale that the 2-year-olds were going to be popular, and we weren't disappointed,” said Kyle Wilson, Senior Director of Sales and Recruiting for Inglis Digital USA. “We had some good trade at a number of levels, which we are pleased with. It was a solid sale, and we'll look forward moving into the fall sale season.”
