The chance to buy into a runner in next month’s G1 Melbourne Cup or $3m The Big Dance presents in a unique set of offerings in the Inglis Digital October (Late) Online Sale.

Future History – a winner of six of his 15 career starts to date in both France and Australia – is exempt from ballot for the $8m Melbourne Cup due to his last-start victory in the G3 Bart Cummings Hcp.

He will carry just 50kg at Flemington on the first Tuesday in November.

Future History (pictured) started his career in France before being purchased and brought to Australia to continue his career.

In his five runs in Australia he has won twice and placed twice and is a young stayer with untapped potential.

Future History – whose 10% share is being offered unreserved - is a $26 chance with Ladbrokes to win the Melbourne Cup.

Superium is another entry that will provide his new connections an automatic entry into one of the biggest races of the Sydney Spring Carnival.

Currently trained by Team Hawkes, Superium qualified for the $3m The Big Dance through a comfortable victory in the Taree Cup at his most recent start a fortnight ago.
