Following a huge Inglis Digital June (Late) Online Sale, which grossed more than $8 million and saw Daisies (Sebring) fetch $920,000, More Aspen (USA) (More Than Ready {USA}) $720,000 and Literary Magnate (Written Tycoon) $640,000, Inglis on Thursday announced more star power for next month’s Early Online Sale.
The Listed winner and Group 1 placegetter Another Award (Shamus Award) and the Listed scorer and Group 2 placegetter She’s All Class (I Am Invincible) are sure to attract plenty of attention in the July (Early) Sale.
Another Award heads to the sale on the back of finishing second in Group 1 company in both the Robert Sangster S. and Goodwood H.
The 5-year-old is being offered by Willow Grove’s Ralph Satchell and the ownership group as a racing and breeding prospect.
“She’s in pristine condition, she came back into the stable (Wednesday) morning, she’s a lovely, sound mare who’s in great form so she’s a genuine dual-purpose purchase for somebody because I have no doubt she’ll produce magnificent foals as well in time,’’ Satchell said.
“Her past two runs she’s narrowly been beaten at Group 1 level, she’s had five weeks off since and has spelled extremely well and as people will see in videos and photos in coming days, she’s such a good-looking mare, very attractive with a lovely head.
“We just thought the time was right to offer her for sale. She’s in career-best form, we’re on the cusp of the breeding season and while I would love to buy her myself, she’s too valuable now and as the other owners aren’t breeders, the best and easiest thing to do was to put her up for sale on Inglis Digital.”

She’s All Class, who has earned almost $600,000, will also be offered as a racing and breeding prospect.
The 4-year-old will be offered by Yarraman Park Stud on behalf of the ownership group, headlined by Yes Bloodstock’s Brae Sokolski.
“We’re really excited to present this quality mare on Inglis Digital on behalf of a fantastic bunch of owners who have had the ride of a lifetime with her,’’ Yarraman Park’s Matt Scown said.
“She arrived (at Yarraman) late (Thursday) afternoon from Ciaron Maher and David Eustace’s stables and wow, she’s the most magnificent type, she’s in absolute pristine condition.
“She really is what the Australian breeding landscape craves – she’s as good a type as you will see, she’s by a Champion Sire in I Am Invincible, she has speed and precocity and a stunning turn of foot and she’s proven herself at stakes level time and again.
“She also possesses a Danehill-free pedigree which will no doubt be of great appeal to all levels of breeders in both the Southern and Northern hemispheres.
“She’s fully sound, she’s unreserved, she’s fair game.’’
