The Inglis Digital September (late) Sale concluded on Wednesday and the second-top lot was blue-blood I Am Invincible mare Monte Invincible, who was offered by Robert and Luke Price on behalf of a client and sold for $540,000.
She was purchased by Newgate Farm’s assistant Stud Manager Jackson Beirs – in conjunction with his parents Ted and Sandra of Glenbawn Stud alongside Alma Vale Thoroughbreds and Spartus Bloodstock – for $540,000.
Monte Invincible will visit Newgate-based stallion Stay Inside in coming weeks on her maiden cover.
“With my job at Newgate I get to see a lot of the stock and Stay Inside’s foals are outstanding so we wanted to buy some nice mares to go to him’’ Beirs said.
“She cost plenty of money but she’s a beautiful filly with one of the most sought after pedigrees in the book and a family that’s hard to get into so we were prepared to have a good go at her.
“We find Inglis Digital fantastic, it’s easy to use, it’s accessible, we’ve been active for years and will be for many more to come.’’
Monte Invincible was a $1,050,000 Inglis Easter yearling and is a half-sister to Group I winner Shooting to Win , Group II winning champion HK sire Deep Field and stakes-winner Zaniah being from blue hen Listen Here.
The third-top lot today was Group winner Expat, who was offered on behalf of her owners and sold to Newgate Bloodstock for $320,000.
“We’re delighted to be able to buy her, she’s a beautiful mare, a very talented G2 winner with great genetics being a granddaughter of Galileo and Dubawi,” said Henry Field.
“She’s straight off to our Inglis Easter graduate In The Congo, the exciting Golden Rose-winning first season stallion and we’re hugely excited by the mating.’’
