Daughter of Fastnet Rock sells for $260,000.

Scarlet Moretta, the dam of $750,000 yearling Cerberus, topped the broodmare sale that rounded out this year's Inglis Great Southern Sale at Oaklands Junction on Friday.

The daughter of Fastnet Rock and the Woodman mare, Venetian Lady, who is in-foal to Too Darn Hot, got to $260,000 before being knocked down to Fairhill Farm.

Scarlet Moretta has had three to race for three winners, including Listed winner Cerberus (Dundeel).

"We sold a weanling by Too Darn Hot for $320,000 at Inglis a few weeks ago and the dam, Majesty, was by Fastnet Rock, so we identified this mare selling today and really wanted to get her,'' Fairhill's Mike O'Donnell said.

"It was a lot more than we were expecting to pay, I can tell you that, but she was a lovely walking Fastnet Rock mare, a two-year-old winner herself and the foal will go through the Inglis Weanling Sale next year.''

Scarlet Moretta went through as Lot 387, one after Unencumbered mare Salome – in-foal to Flying Artie – who was the second highest-priced lot of the sale at $200,000.

Of the 61 lots offered, 44 sold for a total of $2,327,500 at an average of $52,898.
