Davali Thoroughbreds enjoyed top-lot billing on Day 1 of the 2021 Inglis Classic Sale, securing $600,000 for the Capitalist x Mystical Tale colt (lot 182) they offered as agent for Twin Palms Stud’s Bruce and Jill Johnson. Secured by James Harron Bloodstock, the price was a record for the Classic Sale. Davali’s Alison Hush couldn’t hide her tears in the vendor box as auctioneer Chris Russell bought the gavel down at $600,000. “I’m not really sure how I feel, I’m exhausted but over the moon obviously. It hasn’t really sunk in yet but I’m sure it will,’’ Hush said. “We put a low reserve on him to get him on the market, we knew he would sail past that but quite that far past it? Not in our wildest expectations did we think $600,000, maybe half that! Very exciting. It’s great for a little farm to have such a good result, to take on the big boys and show them that we can sell good horses too.”
