Double R Thoroughbreds Buy Out Anagain Partners

Anagain (Hinchinbrook), Wednesday’s second top lot at the Inglis Digital July (Late) Online Sale will be immediately retired and bred to this season after selling for $180,000. Offered by Joe Pride Racing on behalf of the ownership group, Anagain sold to Ken Reed and Scott Rossow of Double R Thoroughbreds. Reed said he and Rossow wanted to breed with Anagain, hence buying the balance of the partners out who didn’t want to go down the breeding path. We held 30% of her anyway and the fairest way for everything to play out was to put her on Inglis Digital and see what happened,’’ Reed said. “Our intention now is to add her to our broodmare band, which is growing, and we have interests in a few stallions so we’ll spend a bit of time now sitting down and working out the best match for her and making that decision down the track.” He conceded, “We obviously wanted to get her a bit cheaper than we did but it’s a fair price, we thought she’d make her $150,000 and above so everyone is happy in the end really.” Top Tahnee Tiara (see above item) and Anagain were two of seven lots to realise six figures in this sale alongside Miss Antaeus ($150,000), Le Parrain ($140,000), Luna Rocks ($130,000), Customized ($100,000) and Not To Be Caught ($100,000). In total the Inglis Digital July (Late) Sale grossed $3,824,551.
