Darby Racing’s strong recent affinity with Inglis Digital continued today as talented mare Celestial Falls (Hinchinbrook) realised $465,000 in the Spring Boutique Sale. The G2 placed 5YO – a half sister to three-time Stakes winner and G1 placed Greysful Glamour – sold to Michael Flannery’s Victorian nursery Springmount. The result comes just weeks after another of Darby’s top-quality mares, Every Rose, sold for $1.3m in a bespoke online auction on the Inglis Digital platform.

Multiple Group performer Celestial Falls (Hinchinbrook), a half-sister to last year’s Villiers Stakes (Gr 2, 1600m) winner Greysful Glamour (Stratum), looks like being the star draw when Inglis Digital hold another boutique mare sale beginning today at 10am. The winner of two of her 11 starts for Mark Newnham, Celestial Falls finished third in last year’s The Roses (Gr 2, 1800m) having narrowly failed in her bid to land the Pam O’Neill Stakes (Listed, 1600m) on her previous o

Top-class racemare Yankee Rose is off to a flyer as a broodmare with her two-year-old daughter Romneya making all the running in a 1600m Newcomers race at Nakayama on Sunday.

Buoyed by the early-season form of two of Harmony Rose’s autumn foes, Mark Newnham is optimistic the Group 1 placegetter can make her mark during the Sydney carnival. Placed behind Lion’s Roar and Mo’Unga in the Randwick Guineas and runner-up to Hungry Heart in the Adrian Knox Stakes, Harmony Rose will make her spring return in Saturday’s Bill Ritchie Handicap (1400m) at Randwick. It will be her first appearance as a mare but with Mo’unga resuming with a Winx Stakes victory o

Darby Racing and de Burgh Equine struck twice on the second day of the Tattersalls August Sale in Newmarket, snapping up a pair of Northern Hemisphere-bred 3-year-olds by Galileo (Ire). The recent success of imports such as Harpo Marx (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Canasta(Fr) (Makfi {GB}) and Spirit Ridge (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) has emboldened Darby Racing's confidence in buying tried horses out of international sales and it went to a combined 180,000 gns (AU$363,228) for two Galileo
