Caulfield Cup winner Duke De Sessa share up for grabs
A share in last month’s Caulfield Cup winner Duke De Sessa is being offered on Inglis Digital.
The five percent share is one of the headline lots that form a Halo Racing unreserved reduction, offered on behalf of the late Colin McKenna, who died last month.
Also up for grabs is five percent in Group 1 Toorak Handicap winner Attrition and five percent in last-start Flemington winner Light Infantry Man, who is favourite for Saturday’s Group 1 Railway Stakes in Perth.
All up, shares in 41 horses are being offered in the Inglis Digital sale, which is now active with finals bids commencing from 10am Wednesday.
There is also 10 percent in Federer, 17.5 percent in Chorlton Lane, five percent in each of Future History and Interpretation, 30 percent of Makram and 10 percent in Sunshineinmypocket.
The undefeated Perfect Excuse and dual winner Half Yours will also be offered wholly.
“Colin McKenna, with his wife Janice, was an incredible patron of racing…the blue and green silks of Halo Racing are synonymous with top-class horses through the likes of Jameka, Gregers, Another Wil, Attrition (pictured) and many others and no doubt will continue to be,” Inglis Bloodstock CEO Sebastian Hutch said.
“Halo Racing is a very significant owner both in terms of scale and quality, so the reduction sale, following the sad passing of the much-missed Colin, is a pragmatic step to manage stock numbers.
“There are a number of hugely desirable lots amongst the group and I’m sure the opportunity to invest in such stock will be greeted enthusiastically by buyers.”
Among the others being offered in the 393-lot sale are Our Belisa, the dam of this month’s $1m Inglis Golden Gift winner North England, who is being offered in-foal to Stay Inside.
Snitzel Blitz, the dam of Group 1 Memsie Stakes winner Pinstriped, is also being offered, carrying a foal by Tassort.
