Most expensive lot at Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale Hong Kong bound

Four-year-old gelding Sixgun (Snitzel) will continue his career in Hong Kong having been bought for $145,000 by Dr Alan Lee's A Value Consulting to top the Inglis Digital April (Early) Online Sale when it concluded on Wednesday. 

The winner of three of his 17 starts and placed in a further seven, Sixgun was offered by Mark Newnham on behalf of owners Geoff and Mary Grimish. 

"We're very pleased to get Sixgun in this sale,'' Dr Lee said.

"I received a purchase order to import a raced horse for a Hong King client and Sixgun is the perfect horse for this purpose.

"Sixgun will be rated about 66+ in Hong Kong so there is plenty of room to go up to higher class for him as well.

"We are very happy to continue to look for good choices in Inglis Digital. The platform continues to grow in popularity and more owners from different countries are asking to look for good buying options each sale.''

Sixgun's sale helped the April (Early) auction gross $2,534,350 at an average of $11,520.

The second-top lot was Mawkeb (Deep Field), a lightly raced filly which Lindsay Park purchased for $120,000.

"She's a very well-bred filly and we're very lucky to be keeping her,'' Lindsay Park's JD Hayes said.

"She was part of the [Shadwell] dispersal and was a filly we were really keen to retain. She's got good ability and from her first three starts to date, there's some very good form around her and we believe she will continue to improve into her prep and beyond.''

Other leading lots were broodmare Armed For Action (IF to Street Boss) selling to Viv Oldfield for $85,000, Bjorn Baker's Matowatakpe selling to Jack Bruce Racing for $80,000 and Rob Heathcote-trained mare Minjee, who Yevrah Investments secured for $70,000.
