TRL TAKES ON THE INGLIS SALES

Apr 1, 2021

SEE YOU AT THE EASTER SALES

TRL owners are you ready to go shopping.

We are not talking about new shoes, outfits, suits or ties but for the best yearlings on offer at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sales on April 6 & 7 to fill your team’s stable. Your Head of Bloodstock Mick Malone is currently scouring the country, visiting the best farms, casting his expert eye over the juveniles and compiling his shopping list for the most prestigious sale in this country.

The Easter Sale is the flagship of the Inglis organization, showcasing the best young thoroughbreds in the Southern Hemisphere at the William Inglis Complex, adjacent to Warwick Farm racecourse. There’s an argument to say it’s the most prestigious yearling sale anywhere in the world and competes right up there with Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky and Tattersalls at Newmarket in England

Australian horses are bred for speed, explosive qualities that are key in bringing buyers from all over the world for the Easter Sale, although with Covid, there’ll be less visiting overseas buyers…but be certain they’ll be represented by agents or can now bid on line.

The Golden Slipper is the most influential race in Australia, sure there’s the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate or Everest…but nothing shapes the future of the race horse industry like the Slipper. If a colt wins, it’s instantly worth $30million, if a filly salutes her residual value skyrockets.

Twenty of the past Slipper winners have come from Inglis sales the likes of Luskin Star, Marscay, Flying Spur, Moss Fun and Miss Finland just to name a few. Not too mention other champions like Schillaci, Naturalism, Chautauqua and Black Caviar. The Easter Sales will also be a good barometer to how the economy is recovering during the Covid period, bidding is expected to be strong. No overseas travel? Why not buy a premium thoroughbred at the premium sale.

Last year the average price at Easter was ($306k) and the median price ($250k) both down from 2019, but remember Covid struck and the Easter Sale was conducted on-line only. Here at TRL we encourage all owners to get to the sales and share the dream of finding that Slipper winner which the Inglis sales are famous for producing.

It will be a lot of fun…see you there.

TRL TAKES ON THE INGLIS SALES

Apr 1, 2021

Cool Jakey was the King of Warwick Farm  on Wednesday and NSW Tycoons owners would like to package the Metropolitan track and just take it wherever Cool Jakey goes after he kept his undefeated record intact. 

It’s remarkable that ‘Jakey’, trained on track and stabled across the road with Joe Pride, is one of those athletes, albeit of the equine kind, who thrives on his home ground. 

He won on debut at Warwick Farm way back in February of 2023 and the love affair hasn’t ended, Cool Jakey has now won 4 from 4 at ‘The Farm’ and there’s plenty more wins in store for your son of Pierro.

BOUNCE BACK FACTOR 

As Tycoons were made aware of, there’s a theory in racing that when a horse suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, “you must back it next start” and they win. 

And that was certainly the message after Cool Jakey suffered cardiac arrhythmia the previous start at Randwick, with Joe Pride telling Tycoons in the pre-race late mail, “Don’t worry about what happened last start, the horse is fine and he looks great,” how right Joe was with Cool Jakey leading all the way.

HIPPO FROM BARRIER TO BOX

Adam Hyeronimus was having his first sit on Cool Jakey and he rode him a treat. We joked before the race “just go to the front and improve your position” and that’s exactly what he did. 

“He jumped well and found a nice rhythm straight away, he had a nice time so I let him slide early into it at the 600metres so we did go a bit early. 

“He felt fantastic throughout the run and was doing it easily, so I did get a bit of a surprise how quickly he stopped. 

“So maybe I did go too early, but in saying that, maybe seven furlongs is his upper limit. On that effort he’ll be winning again” Jockey Adam Hyeronimus said.

JOE DELIGHTED

“That was good guys” trainer Joe Pride said, with a big smile to a large contingent of NSW Tycoons on Cool Jakey returning to scale. 

“Look it was nice to see him win on a track that wasn’t bottomless wet, it opens up a lot more opportunities for him. 

“In saying that if there was a 1400m for him in a fortnight on a Good track I would probably be reluctant to start him. We need to nurse him through it and the next month – six weeks isn’t going to be easy because it’s carnival time.

WHATS NEXT – PACK YOUR BAGS

The Tycoons have been very patient with Cool Jakey and their patience has been rewarded. He is building a very nice career record which stands at only 13 starts for 5 wins and a minor placing and is now pushing the $200,000 in prize money. 

‘Jakey’ has initially pulled up well, but we all know that he is a delicate soul and has to be treated with kindness and Joe is reluctant to push him too hard too quickly. Which is fair enough. 

“We might even consider travelling him maybe to Melbourne or Brisbane for a wet track, we just need to look after him.

“He’s been a good horse for us, we will look after him and his best opportunities will come in the Winter,” Joe concluded. 

Congratulations to all NSW Tycoons and winning connections.

Go you good thing!
