The son of Invincible Spirit, who stands for $247,500 at Yarraman Park, has sired 13 Group 1 winners and 144 stakes horses so far. His progeny make up three of the six most expensive lots at this year's Inglis Premier Yearling Sale. Tony Fung Investments will be hoping these trends continue, after the Hong Kong based consortium parted with $1.1m in a fierce bidding war for Noorilim Stud's Lot 159. The bay filly, out of Pins mare Special Lover, is a half-sister to 2022 Blue Diamond Prelude winner Miss Roseiano and boasts a page filled with black-type performers. TFI's Sally Williams told inglis.com the yearling is "the kind of filly you dream of having in your colours". "Mr Fung thinks it's very important to buy fillies like this with serious pedigrees to add to the racing team," Williams said. "We're having a great season with our 2YO fillies, and the Fung family are getting a lot of fun out of it." She is the first filly to break the million-dollar mark in the sale's history. Tony Fung bought the first million-dollar filly at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale. Picture: Richard Gosling I Am Invincible also sired Lot 210, a bay filly who joined Seamus Mills Bloodstock for $650,000, and Lot 27, a bay colt bought by Peter Moody and Rosemont Stud for $500,000. Of the first-season sires, Vinery Stud's Exceedance, son of Exceed and Excel, made a strong impression on buyers. Lot 256, an Exceedance colt out of Pierro mare Absolemm, was purchased for $350,000 by Griffiths de Kock Racing and Peter Ford Thoroughbreds. The progeny of Darley Stud's newcomer Blue Point also presented well, with just under half of his offspring reaching six figures in the auction ring. The Premier portion of the sale ended at midday today, to be followed by the traditionally cheaper Showcase Session this afternoon. It has been another successful Premier Sale for Inglis, who recorded an average selling price of over $130,000 for the third year running. And with 129 lots failing to meet their reserve in the ring, there is plenty of business still to be done for buyers and vendors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
