Gunnison (Aus) (Not a Single Doubt {Aus}), a winner of his only two starts to date including the Mar. 4 G2 Todman S. last out, has been added to the inaugural Inglis The Chairman's Sale Session I, the elite racing prospects portion held at 6 p.m. local time Thursday, Mar. 30. Rated 115 by Timeform, second among Australian juvenile males to only G1 Blue Diamond S. runner-up and 'TDN Rising Star' Pariah (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), the Peter and Paul Snowden trainee landed a Wyong 1000-metre barrier trial by two lengths Mar. 22.
“He's a sensational physical, but at this stage we are purely focused on stallion prospects, so as a gelding he just does not fit in with our program,” said James Harron of James Harron Bloodstock, who picked out the colt for A$850,000 at the 2016 Australian Easter Yearling Sale. “But I can genuinely tell you that Peter thinks this horse is a huge chance on Saturday in the Group 1 Inglis Sires [Produce S. Apr. 1].”
“Gunnison has gone from strength to strength since being gelded, I believe him to have improved again since the Todman and I feel he is a genuine winning chance in the Inglis Sires,” said Peter Snowden.
A full set of Hong Kong X-Rays and video scope for Gunnison will be available in the repository. Gunnison's yearling half-sister by Snitzel (Aus) will go through the ring as lot 84 from the Arrowfield Stud consignment during the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale Apr. 4-6.
Entries for the sale close at 10 a.m. local time Monday. For more information about the Inglis The Chairman's Sale, go to www.inglis.com.au.
