Dash For Cash confirmed his rating as Victoria’s value sire with a colt from Quite The Lady that made $110,000 on Day 1 at the Inglis Premier Sale on Monday.

The Swettenham Stud sire’s grey colt from a half-sister to G3 winner Nina Haraka was very popular and Caulfield trainers Ross and Clinton McDonald had to fight off several prospective buyers before signalling the winning bid.

Dash For Cash stands for a $10,000 (inc gst) service fee at Swettenham and he has sired the winners of 539 races at a 58% strike-rate since his first runners appeared in 2006-07.

The asking price for his Day 1 leader is more than 12 times the service fee.

Swettenham’s Host – Rambling River filly was also the focus of a number of good judges including Robbie Griffiths, Colin Little and astute syndicator Brad Spicer.  But leading agent Adrian Hancock had the final say at $90,000.

That price reflects the great vibes about Host’s first-season two year-olds.  His Premier filly received an important update last Friday when her dam’s half-sister Kulgrinda was a brilliant winner at Moonee Valley.

Fellow first-season sire Soldier’s Tale opened the Swettenham consignment on Monday with a $60,000 filly from Redoute’s Choice mare Lanesborough.  Her dam is a three-quarter sister to Swettenham’s Victoria Derby winner Blackfriars and she looked a bargain buy for trainer John Blacker.
