Oaks-bound filly headline act in Inglis Digital November Sale
A stake in VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m)-bound filly Morisu Ojo (Maurice) is among the headline offerings for the Inglis Digital November (Early) Online Sale, which is now open for bidding.
The Ciaron Maher-trained daughter of Maurice (Screen Hero) announced herself with a brilliant maiden win in September before a bold sixth against the colts and geldings in the Super Impose Stakes (Listed, 1800m) at Flemington, finishing only 1.7 lengths behind winner Options (Impending), a $12 chance in Saturday’s Victoria Derby (Gr 1, 2500m).
She then made strong late ground in the Ethereal Stakes (Gr 3, 2000m) last start and is rated a $15 prospect for Thursday’s $1 million VRC Oaks which comes just 24 hours after the sale concludes.
“This is new ground for Inglis Digital and very exciting,” said Inglis Digital business manager Nick Melmeth.
“We’ve offered shares in a Melbourne Cup runner before, but never an Oaks contender in this fashion. Ciaron Maher has a strong opinion of Morisu Ojo, so to have the opportunity to buy in literally a day before she runs in the VRC Oaks is an incredible scenario.”
Morisu Ojo features among a diverse catalogue featuring 302 lots, including 173 racehorses (76 fillies), 61 racehorse shares, 31 broodmares, 27 yearlings, five two-year-olds and five unraced horses.
Other notable racehorse share listings include Farnan (Not A Single Doubt) colts Farcited – a Black Opal Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) runner-up and Golden Slipper (Gr 1, 1200m) runner – and Farnicle, who was a Group 2-placed juvenile and finished second at his most recent start in the $500,000 Tapp-Craig (1400m).
Also on offer are five per cent shares in the Group 1-placed Strait Acer (Headwater) and stakes winner Statuario (D’Argento).
