$210,000 King’s Gambit Colt Highlights Armidale Stud Inglis Great Southern Success

I Am Invincible’s good-looking son King’s Gambit produced a great result for Tasmanian-based vendors Armidale Stud when they sold a colt by the young Newgate sire for $210,000 at the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale on Friday.

The fourth foal of stakes-placed Flying Krupt, the colt was snapped up by Blue Gum Farm / Suman Hedge Bloodstock and is a half-brother to Tasmanian 2YO sensation Aristopolos.

The St Mark’s Basilica colt has been untouchable in Tasmania this season, winning all of his six starts, including two listed races, with prizemoney topping $336,000.

Trained by John Blacker, Aristopolos got better and better with every start, and his last three wins came with a collective winning margin of 18 lengths, suggesting this colt can ultimately make his mark on the mainland.

Armidale Stud enjoyed 100% clearance, selling all four weanlings offered at an average of $201,250 to be the leading vendor at this sale by average.

In addition to the King’s Gambit colt, they sold a Home Affairs colt from Myhro for $330,000, a Toronado (IRE) colt from Gee Gees Darl for $200,000 and a Hellbent colt from Queen of Kandy for $65,000.
