Top Sellers to Watch

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 8

The list of top selling two and three year-olds to race each day often highlights some interesting horses to keep an eye out for and it certainly does that today with a $2.8million Inglis Easter sale-topper set to make his re-appearance at Warwick Farm.

A three year old son of champion sire Snitzel, Mount Fuji remains a colt at this point time, but may not stay that way if he does not translate talent into Black Type in 2021.

Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, he won a recent trial and has an ideal barrier with Jason Collett to ride in the 1100m maiden on a good surface, so connections will no doubt be hoping for a forward showing.

Another expensive colt to watch out for in the juvenile race is I Am Invincible colt Zarastro, who is the favourite in race 1.

A $1,050,00 Magic Millions purchase from the Segenhoe draft, Zarastro also won a recent trial and looks well prepared for race day by Chris Waller.
