Inglis sold juveniles get a chance to run for some serious Christmas cash in the $500,000 Inglis Nursery (1000m) at Randwick on Saturday and there is good representation for first season sires with the following all having runners – Blue Point (IRE), Cosmic Force, Exceedance, Tassort and Yes Yes Yes.
Blue Point has sired 50 first crop winners in the Northern Hemisphere and is looking for his first in Australia after six runners so far that include Blue Stratum, who was a close second in the Group III VRC Maribyrnong Plate on debut.
Trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy, he is the favourite with Chad Schofield to ride.
Exceedance shooting for a third winner with the unraced Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Jupiter Hills, who has trialled well and has Tim Clark on board from gate seven jumping right alongside Blue Stratum in eight.
