Media Release - Friday August 6

G2-winning, dual G1 placed mare Moonlight Maid headlines a typically strong Inglis Digital August (Early) Sale, which also features some intriguing lots from the continued dispersal of Shadwell’s Australian stock.

Moonlight Maid is a standout in the latest Inglis Digital Sale.

A top-class breeding prospect, Moonlight Maid (Puissance de Lune) was a winner on debut at Geelong as a 2YO, before claiming the G2 Edward Manifold Stakes at just her fourth start, defeating the likes of Miami Bound, Fascino and Subpoenaed.
