An exciting opportunity to acquire an eight per cent share in one of Australia’s premier racehorses, Mr Brightside, is now available.
This chance to become a part-owner of the six-time Group 1 winner is being offered through the latest Inglis Digital online auction, concluding on Wednesday.
With earnings of $13.4 million, this superstar galloper is sure to attract global interest, particularly with his first race of the Spring Carnival, the G1 Memsie Stakes, just six weeks away.
The catalogue was released on Friday afternoon, though the share has an undisclosed reserve price.
“Opportunities to invest in one of the nation’s top weight-for-age gallopers at their peak are exceedingly rare,” the advertisement states.
“Consistently competing at the highest level, in the past year alone, he has raced 11 times, achieving five wins, four seconds, and a third, amassing over $5.2 million.
“Mr Brightside is in excellent form and poised to be a major contender in the upcoming spring races.
“Looking further ahead, he may also compete in his fourth All-Star Mile next autumn, a race he won in 2023 and placed second in this year.”
Co-trainer Ben Hayes informed Racing.com on Friday that Mr Brightside will undergo his most intense gallop of this preparation on Monday as he progresses towards his first trial.
Last year, a 10 per cent share in guaranteed Melbourne Cup starter and Bart Cummings winner Future History fetched $205,000 via the same platform.
As of Saturday morning, bidding had reached $100,000.
