Canadian champion sprinter Hazelbrook (Bayern), in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify, and multiple stakes winner Lucky Girl (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) highlight the inaugural Inglis Digital USA July Sale.
“We are excited to feature these two impressive entries in our inaugural sale as Inglis Digital USA,” said CEO Liza Hendriks. “The global demand for both buying and selling has been substantial, highlighting the international appeal of these two mares. They are the first of many high-quality listings to come, and we look forward to showcasing more in our July Sale and future sales.”
The 6-year-old Hazelbrook, carrying her first foal, won the 2022 GIII Hendrie S. and GIII Ontario Fashion S. before earning the Soveriegn Award that season as Canada's top female sprinter.
“Hazelbrook is a very commercial physical, balanced, and strong. Looking deeper into her race record, you will see that she had tremendous raw ability; she was a champion sprinter. She ran a 5 1/2 Ragozin, which would match many Grade I horses,” said Tom Ryan. “Breeding a mare of her ability to a stallion with no limitations in Justify made perfect sense to me. Speed and versatility crossed with the high-cruising speed that Justify possessed and is reproducing globally.”
The 5-year-old Lucky Girl is being offered as a racing or broodmare prospect. Trained by Phil D'Amato, the bay mare won the 2023 Swingtime S. and 2022 China Doll S. and Lady of Shamrock S. She was fourth in the GIII Monrovia S. in April and in the Mizdirection S. in May and is nominated to the July 21 Osunitas S. at Del Mar.
“We are excited to announce the forthcoming sale of an exceptional filly, celebrated for her impressive record of three stakes wins and a remarkable mile time of 1:34,” said James Keogh, whose Grovendale consigns Lucky Girl to the July sale. “Sired by the influential Exceed and Excel, renowned for his
significant impact on broodmare pedigrees, she represents an unparalleled opportunity in both racing and breeding circles.”
Entries for the Inglis Digital USA July Sale remain open through July 8. Bidding will open July 12 at 2 p.m. ET and will close July 17 at 2 p.m. ET at www.inglisdigitalusa.com.
