Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 3 Journalists Posted September 3 Young broodmare Jill's a Hot Mess (Laoban) led the way Wednesday at the closing of the Inglis Digital USA September Sale, topping the sale with a winning bid of $145,000 by Bluewater Sales, agent. The 7-year-old mare is in foal to Vekoma, who currently leads the second-crop sire list. “We have loved the ease and fun of the digital sales process, both selling and buying,” said Meg Levy of Bluewater Sales. “Timing for this mare was perfect, with the weekend Vekoma had. That's the beauty of the process.” Consigned as hip 47, the New York-bred stakes-placed winner of $331,220 hails from the same family as champions Straight No Chaser and Housebuster. Brookdale, as agent, consigned Jill's a Hot Mess and offered her for inspection in Versailles, Ky. “Jill's a Hot Mess is a strong young mare who could really run, and she is in foal to one of the of the hottest young stallions in Vekoma,” said Brookdale Director of Sales Sarah Seitz. “The Inglis Digital USA sale came at the right time to highlight a mare like her. Kyle [Wilson] and his team were great in keeping us informed once the sale went live and promoting the mare on social media platforms. It was a very professional experience all around.” While Jill's a Hot Mess was the topping boodmare of the Inglis Digital USA September Sale, Chado (American Freedom) topped the racing-age offerings at $55,000. The 3-year-old colt, last seen winning an allowance by 6 1/4 lengths at Colonial Downs Aug. 22, sold to Jerry Romans, Jr. Jason McCutchen trained and consigned Chado as hip 1, offering him for inspection at Colonial Downs. “I'm really pleased about getting Chado sold,” said McCutchen. “It was a very easy and successful experience. I can't wait to do it again.” Horses in the sale were available for inspection and purchase in Arkansas, California, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. “We had a large cross section of offerings, and it was great to see activity from all over the country and the world, for that matter,” said Inglis Digital USA CEO Kyle Wilson. “We appreciate the support of our longtime customers, and we welcomed some new ones this sale as well. We'll be back at it in a month!” Offerings that finished under their reserves are still available to purchase on the Inglis Digital USA website.
