Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 19, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 19, 2018 The third day of the Inglis Great Southern Sale at Oaklands Junction marked the conclusion of the weanling portion, with broodmares making up the second half of the day, and it was 3-year-old broodmare prospect Yulong Xingsheng (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) (lot 602) who took pride of place, taking over as the highest-priced lot of the sale when knocked down to Aquis Farm for A$380,000. The Woodside Park Stud offering scored her biggest win in the Listed Twilight Glow S. in the spring and counts Carlingford Rose (GB) (Dance in Time), a listed winner in Ireland, as her third dam. “She is a beautiful quality mare who is by one of the best sires in the country,” said Aquis CEO Shane McGrath. “We loved her and she was our pick of the sale. I thought [A$380,000] was a very fair price for her when you value her in comparison to previous sales. When you buy these A-grade physicals with the proper race form, that is what you have to expect to pay. She has done her job on the track and we will have fun with her going forward.” For the entirety of the select weanling session, 382 (81%) sold and grossed A$9,302,523. The average was A$24,352 and the median was A$12,000, with a son of Fastnet Rock (Aus) (lot 97) making A$300,000. Sixty-two general weanlings (93%) also found new homes for an aggregate of A$148,750. Woodside Park’s Written Tycoon (Aus) was out in front on the sire table, with all 10 lots selling for a gross of A$931,500 and an average of A$93,150. Woodside Park’s unreserved reduction of 18 weanlings made them the leading vendor, with a gross of A$948,500. “It’s great to be the leading commercial stud in Victoria,” said Woodside Park’s General Manager Commercial James Price. “It’s equally satisfying to see the progeny of Written Tycoon in high demand not only Australia-wide, but also internationally.” The sale continues at Oaklands Junction with a broodmare session on Thursday with 225 lots slated to go under the hammer beginning at 10 a.m. local time.
