It’s rare enough for any filly to win more than one G1 Oaks event and rarer still for them to be offered at public auction, so the appearance of Satono Aladdin (Jpn) mare Pennyweka (NZ) at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale produced some fiscal fireworks before she was knocked down to Panthalassa Syndicate (Yulong) for $1.6million.

Classic trials continued overnight in the UK with the Group III Chester Vase and Listed Cheshire Oaks producing two exciting new stakes-winners, but for one of them the glory of victory was short lived.
