There was a spark of excitement in the racing community this week as news broke that a share in Group 1 winner Charm Stone will headline the Inglis Digital September (Late) Online Sale, now open for bidding. For many, the mare’s journey has been followed closely, and the chance to own a slice of her story is being described as a rare and thrilling opportunity.
The mare, already a household name thanks to her stirring victory in the 2025 G1 Robert Sangster Stakes, has long captured attention with her toughness and class. On that day at Morphettville, she swept past a field packed with talent — Asfoora, Estriella, Stretan Angel, Climbing Star, See You In Heaven and Roll On High — in a performance that sealed her reputation as one of the country’s elite. Jockey and connections were seen celebrating with pure delight, their embrace a reminder of how much heart and effort has gone into her career.
Bought as a $1.55 million yearling, Charm Stone is by the outstanding sire I Am Invincible and out of Najoom, a G3-winning mare by Northern Meteor. With over $1.34 million already in the bank, her record speaks volumes, but her story is far from finished. She is being aimed at either the G1 Manikato Stakes or the G2 Gilgai Stakes in the next fortnight, a campaign that could add further lustre to her already enviable résumé.
Charm Stone sale a highlight for Inglis Digital
The 10% share in Charm Stone is the showpiece of the September (Late) Online Sale catalogue, which features 301 lots in total. Among them are 107 racehorses — including 82 race fillies — along with 56 racehorse shares, 41 broodmares, 13 yearlings and two unraced prospects.
Notably, Inglis Digital has a track record of offering ownership opportunities in future stars. Shares in horses like Private Eye, Baraqiel, Private Harry and Light Infantry Man have previously been sold through the platform, each going on to significant achievements. More recently, last-start winner Anarchist, a 3YO colt by Exceed And Excel out of G1-winning mare Media Sensation, adds further gloss to this sale.
