The Inglis Ready2Race Sale accomplished a unique feat in Asia on Sunday with graduates of the select breeze up sale winning three consecutive races at Kranji in Singapore.

The two-year-olds Big Man and Genius book ended the treble, split by the victory of three-year-old Twodollarmuppet.

“From limited numbers through the sale ring graduates of The Star Ready2Race Sale are providing quality results at a tremendous strike rate for trainers and owners across Asia and Australia,” said Peter Twomey, Inglis’ Asia representative.

“The Star Ready2Race Sale is proving to be the best platform to showcase quality two-year-olds in Australia and buyers are being rewarded with great results on the racetrack.”

Big Man (Alamosa x Dr Klaire) was a $90,000 purchase by winning trainer Shane Baertschiger from the draft of Wingara Thoroughbreds at the 2014 The Star Ready2Race Sale.

Twodollarmuppet (Henrythenavigator x Pink Salt) was a $70,000 purchase for owner Swen Johnson from the draft of Hilton Thoroughbreds at the 2013 The Star Ready2Race Sale. The three-year-old has won three races and over S$100,000 in Singapore to date.

Genius (Onemorenomore x Gooniwiggal) rounded out the Ready2Race treble when scoring a smart win over 1100m. The two-year-old was a $34,000 purchase from Muskoka Farm’s draft at the 2014 The Star Ready2Race Sale.

Genius and Big Man are now being aimed at the S$200,000 Singapore Juvenile Championship over 1200m on July 26.

The vendors of Sunday’s three Singapore winners - Wingara Thoroughbreds, Hilton Thoroughbreds and Muskoka Farm - will again be supporting The Star Ready2Race Sale in 2015 with quality entries by sires such as Snitzel, Redoute’s Choice, O’Reilly, Choisir, Mossman, Tuffontein, Helmet, Master Of Design and more.
