appears next.Today, however it was all about El Sid, who was bought from the Inglis The Star Ready 2 Race Sale last year for $105,000 by his trainer and was a successful pinhook for Sam Pritchard-Gordon, who bought the speedy chestnut for just $9,000 at the Inglis VOBIS Gold Yearling Sale.
El Sid was a natural runner at the pre-sale breeze ups, dashing up a furlong in 10.57 seconds.
El Sid is the third winner for Madam Lush, a four-time winner by Danehill Dancer (IRE) from the family of dual Group I winner Wahid.
