The G1-winning filly Velocious is set to take center stage in the Inglis Digital July (Late) Online Sale, a premium auction showcasing 425 lots of elite racing and breeding prospects. A daughter of Written Tycoon and trained by Stephen Marsh, Velocious captured the imagination of New Zealand racing fans during the 2023/24 season with her explosive juvenile campaign that earned her the title of NZ Champion 2YO.
Her career highlights include a dominant victory in the prestigious $1 million Karaka Million and a Group 1 triumph in the Sistema Stakes, cementing her reputation as one of the southern hemisphere’s brightest juvenile talents. Now offered through Inglis Digital, she represents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a G1-winning 2YO filly with elite pedigree and proven track performance.
🔍 Why Velocious is a Standout
Velocious is one of only three G1-winning 2YO fillies sired by leading stallion Written Tycoon. The other two—Lady of Camelot, a Golden Slipper winner, and La Luna Rossa, now the dam of G1 performer Hidden Achievement—highlight the proven genetic power of this bloodline.
Given her racing credentials and pedigree, Velocious presents immense residual value both on and off the track. Whether aimed at further racing or as a foundation mare, she is poised to be a cornerstone for breeders or syndicates with long-term aspirations.
