December (Late) Online Sale concludes 2025 business for Inglis
Two well-related mares stole the show during the Inglis Digital December (Late) Online Sale that closed on Wednesday, selling for $140,000 each in the final auction of 2025.
Merry Angelore (Smart Missile) – a sister to Group 3 winner Aviatress – sold to Victorian Andy Grant of APG Invest while Group 1 winner Ruthless Dame’s (Tavistock) half-sister Deadly Desire (Super Seth) sold to Cambridge Stud.
Offered by Northmore in foal to Castelvecchio (Dundeel), Merry Angelore will be transported to Widden Stud in NSW before Grant decides his next move.
The sale’s other equal-top lot, well-related four-year-old Deadly Desire, was offered by Go Bloodstock and sold to Cambridge Stud for $140,000.
The third top lot in the December (Late) Sale was King Of Dragons (Harry Angel), who sold to Goulburn trainer Matt Dale and bloodstock agent Suman Hedge for $120,000. King Of Dragons was part of an unreserved reduction for Trilogy Racing, which grossed $274,100. There will be another Trilogy reduction draft in the Inglis Digital January Online Sale.
Another significant result in the auction was a 2.5 per cent share in dual Group 1-placed filly Within The Law (Lucky Vega), which sold to US-based bidder Will Stroud for $40,000. The result values Within The Law, a $30,000 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale purchase who is a three-time stakes winner, at $1.6 million.
In total the sale grossed $2,411,800 and was the final Inglis Digital online sale for 2025, with the calendar year finishing with 130 lots selling for $100,000 or more and gross sales in excess of $95 million, to the delight of Inglis Digital business manager Nick Melmeth.
“We are very grateful for the support that we have received at all levels right through the year,” Melmeth said.
“It’s been an incredible year, with tremendous buyer engagement in each and every sale and extraordinary liquidity in the market.
“The launch of our new platform in July has improved what was already an industry-leading product and standard of service to an even higher level and we are excited by the prospect of working to scale new heights in 2026.”
