The thrill of ownership was alive and well at today’s Inglis Digital October (Early) Online Sale, where three individual shares in the G2-winning entire Enriched commanded a combined $440,000, delighting punters and industry insiders alike.
Walnut Farm, an affiliate of the racing powerhouse Yulong, swooped in to secure each share — a 10% stake and two 5% stakes — in the beautifully bred Enriched. By champion sire I Am Invincible and out of Miss Atom Bomb, a half-sister to the legendary Winx, Enriched has pedigree that turns heads even before he steps onto the track.
The 10% share drew a sale-high $215,000, while the two 5% shares realised $115,000 and $110,000, placing a valuation of $2.2 million on the promising colt.
Trainer Michael Freedman was clearly buoyed by the support. “Funny enough, they gave me a horse only last week to train, and now they’ve come along and bought these shares today. It’s great to have the support of Mr Zhang and the Yulong team,” he said. “Enriched is by a Champion stallion from the family of the best mare that’s ever raced here, so he’s certainly got the pedigree in the back pocket, and he’s already a Group 2 winner. Hopefully now we can set him up for a future at stud down the track.”
Sam Fairgray of Yulong shared the excitement. “Ultimately, that’s the long-term play — that Enriched will be on the Yulong stallion roster down the track. But there’s plenty of options for him either way. His pedigree and record are there for everyone to see, and Michael Freedman is an outstanding trainer, so we’re excited to see where Enriched might end up.”
Enriched joins a growing list of horses sold through Inglis Digital who have gone on to Group 1 success, including Baraqiel, Light Infantry Man, Private Harry, Benedetta, Port Lockroy, and most recently Charm Stone.
The sale’s second-top lot was the Newgate Farm-offered 3YO colt Tuscany (Zoustar), purchased by Red Bloodstock for $210,000. Newgate’s Henry Field said, “We’re really pleased with the price for him. He’d come to the end of his time as far as the Newgate Colts Partnership was concerned, but he’s a quality horse and we wish his new owners all the best.”
Other six-figure sales included Running By ($200,000) and Tetsu Belle ($110,000), bringing the total number of six-figure sales through Inglis Digital in 2025 to 111. The October (Early) Online Sale grossed a robust $2,596,000 in total.
Entries are now open for the October (Late) Sale, which runs from October 17–22, with submissions accepted until midnight on Wednesday, October 15.
